"Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of
the workpiece. In MDF or particleboard, cross-
cutting means cutting across the width of the
workpiece.
To make a crosscut using the miter gauge:
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Ensure that the blade guard and splitter or
riving knife is installed.
3. Move the rip fence aside and position the
miter gauge, adjusted to 90°, in a miter slot.
4. Adjust the blade height so the teeth protrude
approximately 1 ⁄
4
" above the workpiece.
5. Slide the miter gauge near the blade and
adjust the workpiece so the blade will cut on
the waste side of the line.
6. Plug in the tablesaw, turn it ON, and allow it
to reach full speed.
7. Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of
the miter gauge and ease it into the blade as
shown in
Figure 44.
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

9. The jointed edge of the workpiece must slide
against the fence during the cutting opera-
tion.
10. Use a push stick to feed the workpiece
through the saw blade, as shown in Figure
43, until the workpiece is completely past the
saw blade.
