CAUTION!
NEVER use the rip fence as a length stop because the cut-off piece could bind
between the fence and the blade causing a kickback.
6. Mitre Cutting
Mitre cutting is the term used for cutting at an
angle other than 90
O
to the edge of the wood.
Follow the same procedure as you would for
crosscutting.
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 head with your LEFT HAND, and
grip the lock knob with your right.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the
workpiece with your RIGHT HAND and the lock
knob with your left hand,
8. 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
O
to both the edge and the broad side of the wood.
Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to the desired angle, and ensure the mitre gauge body is
locked.
CAUTION!
When Mitre cutting, an area of blade is exposed.
Great care must be taken when using the machine for this operation.

7. Bevel Crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle,
other than 90
O
with the broad side of the wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Use the Mitre Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT
of the blade. It cannot be used in the groove
on the LEFT because the blade guard will
interfere. Hold the workplece with your right
hand and the lock knob with your left hand.
