Sears 113.298141 owner manual Compound Miter Cutting

1.NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH STOP

BECAUSE THE CUTOFF PIECE COULD BIND BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE BLADE CAUSING A KICKBACK,

2.When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 in., clamp a block of wood 2 in. long to the table to act as a length stop. Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table because the "swivel" of the clamp will not grip properly. Place a small block of wood between the bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamp.

CAUTION: When clamping the block, make sure that the end of the block is well in front of the sawblade. Be

sure it is clamped securely.

3.Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it touches the block ... hold it securely or clamp it with the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory).

4.Make the cut ... pull the workpiece back ... push the cut off piece off the table with a long push stick ...

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD

ENDANGER YOUR HANDS.

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 gaugeto 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, I_old the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your right.

When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece with your right hand and the knob with your left hand. Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting

except that the wood is also cut at an angle ... other than 90 ° 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 wilt interfere. Hold the workpiece with your right hand and the Iockhandle with _/our left hand.

Use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT for additional support of the workpiece.

Lay it acrossthe 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,
