MITER GAUGE AUXILIARY FACING (FIG. 33)
The miter gauge of this table saw is designed
to accept an Auxiliary Facing with pre-molded
holes for fastening a suitable piece of smooth
straight wood. Utilize the miter gauge as a
template, to attach with proper fasteners.
Example:
a. Drill Ø5/32" holes through a board 3/4" thick,
3" high, and desired length.
b. Attach the board with two No. 12 round head
wood screws 1-1/2" long (not included).
Be sure that the screws never protrude
above the outside surface of facing.
Be sure the facing does not interfere with
the proper operation of the barrier guard.
CROSSCUTTING (FIG. 34)
Crosscutting is known as cutting wood across
the grain, at 90°, or square with both the edge
and the flat side of the wood. This is done with
the miter gauge set at 90°.
Make sure that the smart guard system is
installed for all "through sawing" operations
(when the saw blade cuts entirely through the
thickness of the workpiece). Replace the smart
guard system immediately after completion of
dadoing or rabbeting cuts.
Have the blade extend approximately 1/8"
above top of workpiece. Additional blade
exposure would increase the hazard potential.
Do not stand directly in front of the blade in
case of a throwback (small cut-off piece caught
by the back of the blade and thrown toward the
operator). Stand to either side of the blade.
Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of
the path of the blade.
If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, turn the
switch off before attempting to free the blade.
Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull
the work piece through the cut, to support long
or heavy workpieces, to remove cut-off pieces
of material, or for any other reason.
Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material
from the table. Remove them by pushing them off
gauge body so that the pointer is at desired
angle, then tighten the lock knob.

the table with a long stick, otherwise they could be
thrown back at you by the rear of the blade.
Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material
that are close to or may become trapped inside
the barrier guard while the saw is running. This
could endanger your hands or cause a kickback.
Turn the saw off. After the blade has stopped
rotating, lift the guard and remove the piece.
If the workpiece is warped, place the concave
side down. This will help to prevent it from
rocking while it is being cut.
The graduations on the miter gauge provide
accuracy for average woodworking. In some
cases where extreme accuracy is required,
when making angle cuts, for example, make a
trial cut and then recheck it with an accurate
square or protractor.
