Basic Saw Operations .........,

Using the Miter Gauge

The miter gauge is used when crosscutting, miter cutting, bevel cutting, compound miter cutting, dadoing and when rabbeting across the end of a narrow workpiece.

o An auxiliary wood facing attached to the miter gauge can help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks. Attach it to the slots provided. Make the facing long enough and big enough to support your work. Make sure, however, it will not interfere with the sawblade guard.

the following safety precautions in addition to the WARNING: For your own safety, always observe safety instructions of pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 24 & 2&

Additional Safety Instructions for Crosscutting

Before Starting:

=Never use the rip fence when crosscutting except as specifically instructed

°Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too small to extend across the full length of the miter gauge face during the cut. This lets you properly hold the miter

gauge and workpiece and helps keep your hands away from the blade..

While cutting:

•To avoid blade contact, always hold the miter gauge as shown in the this section

Crosscutting

Definition: A cutting or shaping operation made across the width of a workpiece

The graduations on the miter gauge provide ample accu- racy for average woodworking In some cases where extreme accuracy is required, make a tdal cut and then recheck it with a precision square, or protractor.

NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the groove in the table is held to a minimum during manufac- turing

For maximum accuracy when using the miter gauge, always favor one side of the groove in the table In other words, don't move the miter gauge from side to side while cutting but keep one side of the bar riding against one side of the groove.

NOTE: Gluing a piece of sandpaper to the face of the miter gauge head can help prevent the workpiece from "creeping" while it is being cut

The miter gauge head is locked in position by twisting the lock knob clockw{se Always tighten it securely when in

use,

[WARNING: To avoid blade contact or kickback, 1 hold miter gauge properly.

The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the table

When using the miter gauge in the left hand groove, hold the workpiece firmly against miter gauge head with your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your right hand When using the miter gauge in the right hand groove, hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lock knob with your left hand

Sandpaper

Always Support
