OPERATION
Mitre crosscutting
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the wood at an
angle other than 90°. Follow the same
procedures as you would for crosscutting. Adjust
the mitre gauge to the desired angle.
Bevel crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting
except that the blade is also set at an angle other
than 90°. Adjust the blade to the desired angle
using the blade tilting wheel.
Compound mitre cutting
Compound mitre cutting is a combination of
mitre cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is
made at an angle other than 90° to both the
edge and the flat side of the wood. Adjust the
mitre gauge and the blade bevel to the desired
angle and be sure that the mitre gauge and
blade bevel adjustment lock are locked.
Ripping
Ripping is cutting a piece of wood with the grain. This is
down use the rip fence. Position the fence to the
desired width of the rip cut and lock it in place. Before
starting to rip,
make sure:
1. The rip fence is parallel to the saw blade.
2. The splitter is properly aligned with the saw blade.
When ripping long boards or large panels, always use a
work-piece support. Hold the material to be cut against
the rip fence and feed it through the blade with
smooth, steady pressure.
Only apply feed pressure to the work-piece between
the blade and the rip fence in order to prevent the
work-piece from binding against the blade and causing
kickback.
When ripping boards narrower than 6” (150mm), use a
push stick to feed the work-piece until it is clear of the
table.
Bevel ripping
When bevel ripping material 6”(150mm) or narrower,
use the rip fence on the right side of the blade only.
