Composed cut is a combination between an angle
and a mitre cut. The cut is carried out at an angle
different from 90° both from workbench’s surface
and from the workpiece’s length (Fig. 26).
Cropping consists in cutting the wood along the
fibres.
You must use the rip fence for all cropping works.
Never trim a workpiece if the rip fence is not
perfectly blocked in its position on the workbench.
You must use the rip fence for all cropping works,
with the angled blade or not.
Place the rip fence on the desired cutting width and
tighten the lock handle. Before starting cropping
check that the rip fence is parallel to the saw blade
and that the riving knife is perfectly aligned to the
saw blade.
To trim big workpieces or panels always use a
trolley to support the workpieces. Exert a light
pressure and always use the pusher until the piece is completely cut (Fig. 27).
You must always use a pusher if your hands are less than 125 mm from the saw blade.
The pusher is a safety device that allows you to keep your hands and fingers far from the saw
blade. By holding the pusher and leaning its rabbet on workpiece’s edge, you can push the
workpiece trough the blade, while keeping the hands away from the dangerous area of the
blade. It is easy to create a pusher with a wood piece, it is important tough that it is less wide
than the workpiece and that it is as long as the one included in the package.
