Crosscutting, Repetitive Cutting, Groove

CROSSCUTTING

CROSSCUTTING is known as cutting wood across the grain, at 90 ° , or square with both the edge and the flat side of the wood. This is done with miter gauge set at "0".

The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for

average woodworking. In some cases where extreme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for example, make a trial cut and then recheck it with an accurate square, or protractor.

If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly to compensate for any inacurracy.

NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the

groove in the table is held to a minimum during

manufacturing.

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: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of the miter

gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from

"creeping" while it is being cut.

The Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) should be used on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.

When cutting long workpieces, invert AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT and position it on top of the guide bars to support the workpiece as near to the end as possible.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the miter gaugefor greater accuracy.

SANI

The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the table. Make sure it is locked.

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

When using the RIGHT Hand groove, hold the workpiece with your right hand and the Iockhandle with your left hand.

RODS

REPETITIVE CUTTING

REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of pieces the same length without having to mark each piece.

1.Use the Stop Rods (optional accessory) only for cutting duplicate pieces 6 in. long and longer.

2.DO NOT FEED workpiece with RIGHT Hand, merely

guide it, making sure that it does not bind or pinch the sawblade.

When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece, make sure it is supported.

Use the AUXILIARY FENCE / WORK SUPPORT for additional support of the workpiece.

Lay it across the guide bars to support the workpiece as near to the end as possible.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.
