COMPOUND MOTER CUTTING
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is

USING THE RmPFENCE
RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, PLOUGHING, MOLDING, RESAWING AND RABBETING are
performed using the RIP FENCE together with the
AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH BLOCK.

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS iN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY iNSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 2, 3, and 4.
1.Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without using the rip fence or auxiliary devices when
required) because the blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK.
2.Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.
3.Remove miter gauge from table.
4.Make sure blade guard is installed for all thru- sawing type cuts. Replace the guard
IMMEDIATELY following completion of resawing, rabbeting, dadoing, or molding operations.
Frequently check the action of the
ANTIKICKBACK PAWLS by passing the workpiece alongside of the spreader while saw is OFF.

B. Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade. C. Antikickback pawls are functioning properly.
When ri pping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS. always use a we rk support ....
A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse.
BEVEL RIPPING
fWhen bevel ripping material 6 in. or narrower, use ence on the right side of the blade ONLY. This will
mounted to the left, the sawblade guard may interfere with proper use of a push stick.
