Wood facing (rip fence)
A wood facing should be used for operations when the
blade comes close to the rip fence. Wood facing for the rip
fence should be the same size as the rip fence. Make sure
the bottom of facing is flush with the table surface.
Crosscutting
CAUTION:
• When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence from
the table.
• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide
adequate support to the sides of the table. The sup-
port should be at the same height as the table.
• Always keep hands away from path of blade.
Miter gauge
Use the miter gauge for the 4 types of cutting shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
• Secure the knob on the miter gauge carefully.
• Avoid creep of workpiece and gauge by firm workhold-
ing arrangement, especially when cutting at an angle.
• NEVER hold or grasp the intended “cut-off” portion of
the workpiece.
Use of miter gauge
Slide the miter gauge into the thick grooves in the table.
Loosen the knob on the gauge and align to desired
angle (0° to 60°). Bring stock flush up against fence and
feed gently forward into the blade.
