A cut-off is made by cutting across the width of the workpiece. A straight crosscut is made with the adjustable fence set at the zero degree position. Angled cut-offs are made with the adjustable fence set at some angle other than zero.

To cut with the cut-off machine:

nFirmly secure the material to be cut using the machine’s vise (adjustable fence and vise clamp).

�n Using the hex wrench supplied, loosen the hex head bolts securing the fence. See Figures 14 and 15.

�n Rotate the adjustable fence to the angle needed. �n Retighten hex head bolts securing fence.

�n Return hex wrench to its storage area in base.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten hex head bolts securely before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the workpiece while mak- ing a cut.
