Crosscutting

A crosscut is a cut against the grain direction of the workpiece. Crosscutting man-made wood products like plywood is performed by cutting par- allel to the shortest side.

Keep the blade guard in the down position at all times. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.

To make a 90˚ crosscut using the miter gauge:

1.Adjust the miter gauge to the 90û position.

2.Adjust the fence completely away from the cutting operation.

3.Position the miter gauge in one of the two miter slots.

4.Adjust the blade height so the highest saw tooth protrudes approximately 1Ú4" above the workpiece.

5.Hold the workpiece against the miter gauge and line up the cut with the blade.

6.Turn on the saw and allow it to come to full speed.

7.Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge and ease it into the blade as shown in Figure 31.

Turn off the saw and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the cut-off piece. Failure to follow this warn- ing could result in serious personal injury
