CROSSCUTTING
Crosscut» A cutting or shaping operation made across
the width of the workpiece.
The graduations on the Miter Gauge provide accuracy
for average woodworking. In some cases where ex­
treme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it with an
accurate square, or protractor.
If necessary, the Miter Gauge head can be swiveled
slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.
NOTE: The space between the Miter Gauge Bar and the
groove in the table is held to a minimumduring manufac­
turing.
For maximum accuracy when using the Miter Gauge,
always “favor one side of the groove in the table. In
other words, don’t move the Miter Gauge from side to
side while cutting, but keep one side of the bar riding
against one side of the groove.
NOTE: GlueapieceofsandpapertothefaceoftheMiter
Gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from
“creeping” while it is being cut.
The Hold-Down Clamp {optional accessory) should be
used on the Miter Gauge tor greater accuracy.
The Miter Gauge may be usedin either of the grooves in
the table. Make sure it is locked.
WARNING: To avoid blade contact or kickback,
hold the Miter Gauge properly.
When using the Miter Gauge in the LEFT hand groove,
hold the workpiece firmly against the Miter Gauge head
with your left hand, and grip the lock handle with your
right.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the work­
piece with your right hand and the Lock Handle with your
left hand.
When cutting long workpieces, invert Auxiliary Panel/
Work Support and position it on top of the Guide Bars to
support the workpiece as near to the end as possible, if
this does not adequately support the workpiece, you can
make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood
to a sawhorse. (See illustration above)
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on the
Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.
