OPERATION
CROSS-CUTTING
Cross-cutting
requires
the
use
of
the
miter
gage
to
posi¬
tion
and
guide
the
work.
Place
the
work
against
the
miter
gage
and
advance
both
the
gage
and
work
toward
the
saw
blade,
as
shown
in
Fig.
58.
The
miter
gage
may
be
used
in
either
table
slot.
When
bevel
cutting
(blade
tilted),
use
the
left
miter
gage
slot
so
that
the
blade
tilts
away
from
the
miter
gage
and
your
hands.
For
added
safety
and
convenience
the
miter
gage
can
be
fitted
with
an
auxiliary
wood-facing
(C).
as
shown
in
Fig.
59,
that
should
be
at
least
1
inch
higher
than
the
maximum
depth
of
cut,
and
should
extend
out
12
inches
or
more
to
one
side
or
the
other
depending
on
which
miter
gage
slot
is
being
used.
This
auxiliary
wood-facing
(C)
can
be
fastened
to
the
front
of
the
miter
gage
by
using
two
wood
screws
(A)
through
the
holes
provided
in
the
miter
gage
body
and
into
the
wood-facing.
WARNING:
NEVER
USE
THE
FENCE
AS
A
CUT-OFF
GAGE
WHEN
CROSS-CUTTING.
Common
sawing
operations
include
ripping
and
cross¬
cutting
plus
a
few
other
standard
operations
of
a
fundamental
nature.
As
with
all
power
tools,
there
is
a
certain
amount
of
hazard
involved
with
the
operation
and
use
of
the
tool.
Using
the
tool
with
the
respect
and
caution
demanded
as
far
as
safety
precautions
are
concerned,
will
considerably
lessen
the
possibility
of
personal
injury.
However,
if
normal
safety
precautions
are
overlooked
or
completely
ignored,
personal
injury
to
the
operator
can
result.
The
following
information
describes
the
safe
and
proper
method
for
performing
the
most
common
sawing
operations.
Additional
information
on
'able
saw
operations
can
be
obtained
from
the
Delta

the
Most
Out
of
Your

NOTE:
THE
USE
OF
ATTACHMENTS
AND
ACCES¬
SORIES
NOT
RECOMMENDED
BY
DELTA
MAY
RESULT
IN
THE
RISK
OF
INJURY
TO
PERSONS.

Start
the
cut
slowly
and
hold
the
work
firmly
against
the
miter
gage
and
the
table.
One
of
the
rules
in
running
a
saw
is
that
you
never
hang
onto
or
touch
a
free
piece
of
work.
Hold
the
supported
piece,
not
the
free
piece
that
is
cut
off.
The
feed
in
cross-cutting
continues
until
the
work
is
cut
in
two,
and
the
miter
gage
and
work
are
pulled
back
to
the
starling
point.
Before
pulling
the
work
back,
it
is
good
practice
to
give
the
work
a
little
sideways
shift
to
move
the
work
slightly
away
from
the
saw
blade.
Never
pick
up
any
short
length
of
free
work
from
the
table
while
the
saw
is
running.
A
smart
operator
never
touches
a
cut¬
off
piece
unless
it
is
at
least
a
foot
long.
Fig.
59
When
cross-cutting
a
number
of
pieces
to
the
same
length,
a
block
of
wood
(B),
can
be
clamped
to
the
fence
and
used
as
a
cut-off
gage
as
shown
in
Fig.
60.
It
is
important
that
this
block
of
wood
always
be
positioned
in
front
of
the
saw
blade
as
shown.
Once
the
cut-off
length
is
determined,
secure
the
fence
and
use
the
miter
gage
to
feed
the
work
into
the
cut.
Fig.
60
This
block
of
wood
allows
the
cut-off
piece
to
move
freely
along
the
table
surface
without
binding
between
the
fence
and
the
saw
blade,
thereby
lessening
the
possibility
of
kickback
and
injury
to
the
operator.
