COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. BB)
0°~45° BLADE BEVEL & 0°~45° MITER ANGLE
This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a
bevel angle.
WARNING
Always work to the right side of the blade during
this type of cut. The miter gauge (3) must be in the
right side groove because the bevel angle may
cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if
used on the left side groove.
1. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle.
2. Place the miter gauge (3) in the right side groove (2)
of the table.
3. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle
and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.
4. Hold workpiece firmly against the face of the miter
gauge (3) throughout the cutting operation.
Fig. BB
MITER CUTS (FIG. CC) 0°~45° MITER ANGLE
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting
except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other
than 90°.
1. Set the blade (1) to 0° bevel angle and tighten the
blade bevel lock knob.
2. Set the miter gauge (3) at the desired miter angle
and lock in position by tightening the miter gauge
locking handle.
3. Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the
miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE
(FIG. DD)
When performing some special cutting operations, add
a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2).
1. Use a smooth straight 3/4" (19.1mm) thick wood
board (1) that is as long as the rip fence.
2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood
screws (3) through the holes in the fence. A wood
fence should be used when ripping material such as
thin paneling to prevent the material from catching
between the bottom of the fence and the table.

or longer.
• Cut the piece to shape and size shown:
Putting it together:
• Put the pieces together, as shown:
Make sure the screw heads do not stick out from the
