Miter Gauge Operation
To set your miter gauge, loosen the lock handle and move the miter gauge to the desired angle.
Compound Mitering
This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering. Follow the instructions for both bevel crosscutting and mitering.
Featherboard Construction
Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table, and help prevent kickbacks. Dimensions for making a typical featherboard are shown in Fig. 41. Make the featherboard from a straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks. Clamp the featherboard to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the featherboard will support the workpiece until the cut is complete (Fig. 42). An 8" (203 mm) high flat board can be clamped to the rip fence and the featherboard can be clamped to the 8" (203 mm) high board.

2.Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible.
3.Open the dust access door (UU) shown in Figure 43 by removing the wing screws (V V). Clean out the excess dust, and
