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 the miter gauge set at 90° (Fig. 56).

 

Make sure blade guard is installed for all “thru-sawing” operations

 

(when sawblade cuts entirely thru the thickness of the workpiece).

 

Replace guard IMMEDIATELY after completion of dadoing,

 

molding or rabbeting cuts.

 

 

 

Have blade extend approximately 1/8" above top of workpiece.

FIG. 56

 

Additional blade exposure would increase the hazard potential.

 

Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a

 

THROWBACK (small cut-off piece caught by the back of the blade

 

and thrown toward the operator). Stand to either side of the blade.

 

Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path of the

 

blade.

 

If blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN SWITCH OFF before

 

attempting to free the blade.

 

Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the workpiece

 

through the cut … to support long or heavy workpieces … to

 

remove cut-off pieces of material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

 

Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the table.

 

REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table with a long stick.

 

Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the rear of the

 

blade.

 

Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that are close to or

 

may become TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the saw is

 

RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS or cause a

 

KICKBACK. Turn the saw OFF. After the blade has stopped

 

turning, lift the guard and remove the piece.

 

If workpiece is warped, place the CONCAVE side DOWN. This will

 

help prevent it from rocking while it is being cut.

 

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 inaccuracy.

 

TIP: 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.

 

TIP: Glue a piece of sandpaper 1 to the face of the miter gauge

 

head. This will help prevent the workpiece from “creeping” while it

 

is being cut.

 

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 gauge head with your left hand, and

 

grip the lock knob with your right hand.

 

When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece with

 

your right hand and the lock knob with your left hand.
