B. Crosscutting
Crosscutting is the term used to describe cuts
made in timber across the grain. This type of cut
requires the use of the MITRE GAUGE. This includes
bevel cutting, mitre cutting and compound mitre
cutting (described later in this paragraph).
1. To perform a cross cutting operation, hold
the work firmly against the mitre gauge
fence.
2. With the timber carefully lined up with the
saw blade, the mitre gauge is gently pushed
along the groove, past the saw blade,
producing the desired cut.

With large pieces it is important to support the work adequately.
C. Rip Cutting A Bevel
By tilting the saw blade (up to 45
O
), it is possible to rip cut a bevel in your work. To do this, set the
blade angle as described on page 27.
D. Mitre Cutting
Mitre cutting is the term used for cutting at an angle
other than 90
O
to the edge of the wood.
Adjust the mitre gauge to the desired angle, and
lock it.
• The mitre gauge may be used in either of
the grooves in the table.
• When using the mitre gauge in the LEFT hand
groove, hold the workpiece firmly against the
mitre gauge with your left hand and push
with your right.
• When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the
workpiece with your right hand and the lock
knob with your left hand.
E. Bevel Crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except
that the wood is also cut at an angle, other than 90
degrees with the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired height and angle.
• Use the mitre gauge in the right hand groove.
Do not use the left hand groove, the blade
guard will interfere.
• Hold the workpiece with your right hand and
the push with your left hand.
