Miter.Cuts
A miter cut is an angled crosscut. Miters are usually cut in
the same manner as crosscuts, using the miter gauge and
a predetermined mark on the workpiece.
To.perform.a.miter.cut,.do.these.steps:
1
.
.
Ensure that blade guard/spreader is installed.
2
. Determine angle of cut. If angle needs to be very
precise, use a protractor to set miter gauge to
blade.
3.
Place face of miter gauge against edge of workpiece
and place bar across face of workpiece. Use bar as a
guide to mark your cut, as shown in
Figure.61
.
4
. Place miter gauge back into slot and hold workpiece
firmly against miter gauge body. Slide miter gauge
near blade and adjust workpiece so blade will cut on
waste side of line.
5
. Proceed to make cut in same manner as described in
Crosscutting
instructions.

Miter.Fence
The miter fence provides greater workpiece support than
the miter gauge alone, especially for longer workpieces.
Simply loosen the lock levers shown in
Figure.62
, slide
the miter fence in the needed direction for the cutting
operation, then tighten the lock levers.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the miter fence does not contact
the blade guard or blade when moved through its full
range of travel.
