MITER CUTTING

MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle other than 90 ° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same procedure as you would for crosscutting.

Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and lock it.

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 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.

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

BEVE L CROSSCUTTING

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting except that the wood is also cut at an angle ... other than g0 ° with the flat side of the wood.

Adjust the blade to the desired angle.

Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of the blade. It cannot be used in the groove to the LEFT because

the blade guard will interfere. Hold the workpiece with your right hand and the Iockhandle with your left hand.

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.

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of miter

cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at an angle

other than 90 ° to both the edge and the flat side of the wood.

Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired angle

... Make sure miter gauge is locked.
