"Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of
a natural wood workpiece, usually with a miter
saw In other man-made materials, such as MDF
or plywood, crosscutting means cutting across the
width of the workpiece.
To make a crosscut using miter gauge:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.
3. Move rip fence aside and position miter
gauge, adjusted to 90°, in a miter slot.
4. Adjust blade height so teeth protrude no
more than
1
⁄
4
" above workpiece.
5. Slide miter gauge near blade and adjust
workpiece so blade will cut on waste side of
line.
6. Plug in table saw, turn it ON, and allow it to
reach full speed.
7. Hold workpiece firmly against face of miter
gauge (as shown in
Figure 61), and ease it
through blade until workpiece is completely
past saw blade.
Turn saw OFF and allow blade to come to a
complete stop before removing cutoff piece.
Failure to follow this warning could result in
severe lacerations or amputation.
