WARNING
stop because the cutoff piece could
bind between the fence and the blade causing a kick-
back.
1. When making repetitive cuts, clamp a block of wood
3" long to the table at desired length to act as a length
stop.
When clamping the block, make sure

that the end of the block is well in
front of the sawblade. Be sure it is clamped securely.
2. Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it
touches the block ... hold it securely.
3. Make the cut ... pull the workpiece back ... push the

(Fig. 47) ... other than 90° with the flat side of the
wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT or
the LEFT of the blade.
