You can use the miter gauge in either table slot. Start
the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the miter
gauge and the table. Keep both hands on the miter
gauge and workpiece. Do not touch the cut-off piece.
Feed the workpiece steadily through the blade until the
workpiece is completely cut. Shift the workpiece slightly
sideways away from the blade, then pull the workpiece
and miter guage back to the starting position. Remove
the workpiece, then use a push stick to push the cut-off
piece past the blade and off the table before beginning
the next cut.
For added safety and convenience, you can fit the miter
gauge with an auxiliary wood-facing that should be at
least 1" (25 mm) higher than the maximum depth of cut,
and should extend out 12" (305 mm) or more to one
side or the other depending on which miter gauge slot is
being used. This auxiliary wood-facing can be fastened
to the front of the miter gauge by using two wood screws
through the holes (D) Fig. 59 provided in the miter gauge
body and into the wood-facing.
When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same
length, clamp a block of wood (E) Fig. 60 to the fence
and use it as a cut-off gauge. The block (E) must be
at least 3/4" (19 mm) thick to prevent the cut-off piece
from binding between the blade and the fence during
removal from the saw table. Always position this block of
wood in front of the saw blade. Once the cut-off length
is determined, lock the fence and use the miter gauge to
feed the work into the cut.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
Bevel crosscutting (Fig. 61) is the same as crosscutting
except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0°.
Before connecting the table saw to the
power source or operating the saw, always inspect
the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper
alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check
alignment after each change of bevel angle.
When possible, use the right miter gauge
slot when bevel crosscutting so that the blade tilts
away from the miter gauge and your hands.
Use caution when starting the cut to
prevent binding of the guard against the workpiece.
