Always
place The fence in the most forward position (farthest
from

OPERATION No. 1 - CROSSCUT
Crosscutting
IS
the
process
of
sawing the
workpiece
by
pulling the saw blade through it and using the fence as a
support
for
the
edge
of
the
workpiece.
Never
crosscut
free-hand.
WARNING: BEFORE CROSSCUTTING, MAKE SURE
THE ARM CONTROL LEVER, BEVEL LOCK LEVER
AND YOKE CLAMP ARE ALL LOCKED. NEVER USE A
LENGTH STOP OR A FIXED GUIDE ON THE FREE
END OR EDGE OF A WORKPIECE, DO NOT CROSSCUT
WORKPIECES THAT PLACE YOUR HANDS CLOSE TO
THE PATH OF THE SAW BLADE. WHEN MORE
EXPERIENCE IS GAINED BY USING THE SAW, IT
WILL BE NOTICED, THAT WHEN PULLING THE SAW
TOWARD YOU DURING CROSSCUTTING, THE BLADE
TENDS TO FEED ITSELF THROUGH THE WORK DUE
TO
THE
ROTATION
OF
THE
BLADE
AND
THE
DIRECTION
OF
THE
FEED.
THEREFORE,
YOU
SHOULD DEVELOP THE HABIT OF HOLDING YOUR
RIGHT ARM STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER TO
THE WRIST.

REPETITIVE CROSSCUTTING
Clamp a "C" clamp {min. 6 inch) using a wood block on
each side of the arm. This will limit the carriage travel
beyond
the
position
necessary
to
complete
the
crosscut
operation.
