Crosscutting (continued) Lock Miter Gauge Knob Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an auxiliary facing to make it easier to cut very tong or short pieces_ Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, drill two holes through it and attach with screws Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the sawblade guard k Head When cutting long workpieces, you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse (As seen on previous page.,) Use the hold-down clamp (optional accessory) on the miter gauge for greater accuracy° Auxiliary Facing I IM.... III'UU Repetitive Crosscutting Left Hand Removed Definition:
Cutting a quantity of pieces the same length without having to mark each piece. A Use the stop rods (optional accessory shown) only for cutting duplicate pieces 6 inches long and longer, B Follow all safety precautions and operational instructions for cross cutting Stop Rod For Clarity When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece, make sure it is adequately supported WARNING; Never use the rip fence as a direct length stop because the cutoff piece could bind between the fence and the blade causing a kick- back. ©,When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 inches, clamp a block of wood 3" long to the table at desired length 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 '%" clamp __ Work Support Wood Block f\\ /J workpiece, when clamping the block make sure that the end of the block is well in front of the saw- blade. Be sure it is clamped securely° WARNING:
To avoid kickback from twisting the D Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it touches the block hold the workpiece securely against the miter gauge or clamp it with the hold- down clamp (optional accessory shown) E,Make the cut, turn the saw off, remove the piece after the blade has stopped and before cutting the next piece 29
