9. Exact-I-Cut

The "yellow" plastic disk embedded in the table in front of the sawblade, is provided for marking the location of the "sawcut" (kert) on the workpiece

Check disk location: if it is above table surface, place a piece of hardwood on top of it and tap it down with a hammer.

Marking the Exact-l-Cut:

A With blade 90° (square to table) and miter gauge in left groove, cross cut a piece of wood holding the wood firmly against miter gauge.

B Pull miter gauge back until freshly cut edge of wood is over disk. Using a sharp pencil, mark a line on disk at freshly cut edge of wood

C With miter gauge in right hand groove, follow same procedure and mark another line on disk

D These lines indicate the "path" of the cut (kerr) made by the sawblade.

E When cutting the workpiece, line up mark on work- piece with line on disk

Use the hold-down clamp (optional accessory) on the miter gauge for greater accuracy
