workpieces thicker than the fence is high, install a
higher fence (at least workpiece thickness). Always
place the fence in the most forward position (farthest
from the column support) compatible with the
workpiece being processed and the operation being
performed. With the carriage fully retracted. the blade
must not contact the workpiece when placed against
the fence, within the stated capacitiesof your saw.

OPERATION
Miter crosscuttingis the processof sawinga board at any
angleother than a 90o (square)cut. The 45o miter angleis
a popular one, since two boards cut to 45o can be
assembled to form a 90o cornerfor producinga squareor
rectangularframe.The radial arm is set to the desiredangle
of cut; yoke and bevelsettingsindexedat 0o (andlocked)
as in squarecrosscutting.The boardbeingcut is held firmly
againstthe fence (guide) and the carriagepulled forward
along the radial arm to perform the desiredcut. As in
"Operation
No. 1", the carriageshouldbe returnedto full
rear position and the saw blade allowed to come to a
completestop beforeremovingthe boardsfrom saw table.

OPERATIONNo. 3 - BEVELCROSSCUT
Bevelcrosscuttingis the processof sawingat 90o (sguare)
acrossthe board with the saw bladeset at an angleother
than 90o to the saw table. The radial arm and yoke are
indexedat 0o and locked,but the bevelis setto the desired
angleof cut. The board is held firmly againstthefenceand
the carriagepulledforward alongthe radialarm to produce
the cut. The carriageshould be returnedto full rearward
positionand the saw blade allowedto come to a complete
stop beforeremovingthe boardsfrom sawtable.

OPERATION o.4 - COMPOUND


cRosscuT
Compound crosscutting is the combination of miter and
bevel crosscuts.The radia, arm and bevel are set to produce
the desired cut; the yoke is indexed at 0o and locked. The
board is held firmly against the fence and the carriage
pulled forward along the radial arm to produce the cut.
Again. the carriage should be returned to full rearward
position and the saw blade allowed to come to a complete
stop before removing boards from saw table.
