To make a 90˚ crosscut using the miter gauge:
1.Adjust the miter gauge to the 90û position.
2.Adjust the fence completely away from the cutting operation.
3.Position the miter gauge in one of the two miter slots.
4.Adjust the blade height so the highest saw tooth protrudes approximately 1Ú4" above the workpiece.
5.Hold the workpiece against the miter gauge and line up the cut with the blade.

7.Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge and ease it into the blade as shown in Figure 30.
Turn off the saw and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
