OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PROPER OPERATING PROCEDURES
cont'd
CROSSCUTTING
cont'd:
3.
When using the miter gauge, the work piece
must
be held firmly and be advanced smoothly
at
a slow rate.
If
the work piece is
not
held firmly,
it
can vibrate causing
it
to
bind on
the
blade and dull the saw teeth.
4. To improve the effectiveness
of
the miter gauge in cross cut-
ting, some users
mount
an aux-
iliary wooden extension face
with a glued-on strip
of
sand-
paper
to
the miter gauge, (Fig.
7).
5.
Provide auxiliary
support
for
any work piece which extends
beyond the table
top
enough
to
tend
to
sag and lift
up
off
the table.
Auxiliary Facing (Fig. 7)
6.
Stop rods can be used in the holes provided in the miter gauge for repetitive work
of
equal
length. Do
not
use a stop rod on the free end
of
a work piece.
It
should be used on the side
of
the miter gauge opposite the saw blade.
7.
Have the blade extend
about
1/8"
above the
top
of
the work piece. Exposing
the
blade above
this
point
can be hazardous.
BEVEL and MITER OPERATIONS:
1. A bevel
cut
is
a special type
of
operation where the saw blade
is
tilted
at
an angle less then
90
0
to the table top. Operations are
to
be performed in the same manner as ripping
or
crosscutting
except
the fence
or
miter gauge should be used on
the
right-hand side
of
the saw blade
to
pro-
vide added safety in avoiding a binding action between the saw blade and table top. When bev-
eling with the miter gauge, the work piece
must
be held firmly
to
prevent creeping.
2.
Crosscuts made
at
an angle
to
the edge
of
the work piece are called miters.
Set
the
miter gauge
at
the required angle, lock the miter gauge, and make the
cut
the
same as a normal crosscut ex-
cept
hold the work piece
extra
firmly
to
prevent creeping.
3.
Have the blade extend
about
1/8"
above the
top
of
the work piece. Exposing
the
blade above
this point can be hazardous.
