_IL WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Push sticks are devices that may be used for pushing a
workpiece through the blade in any rip cut. When mak-
ing non-through cuts or ripping narrow stock, always use
a push stick, push block, and/or featherboard so your
hands do not come within 3 inches of the saw blade.
They can be made in various sizes and shapes from scrap
wood and used in a specific project. The stick must be
narrower than the workpiece, with a 90 ° notch in one end
and shaped for a grip on the other end.

TYPESOF CUTS
See Figure 34,
There are six basic cuts: 1) the cross cut, 2) the rip cut,
3) the miter cut, 4) the bevel cross cut, 5) the bevel rip cut,
© CROSSCUT
and 6) the compound (bevel) miter cut. All other cuts are
combinations of these basic six. Operating procedures for
making each kind of cut are given later in this section.

A WARNING: Always make sure the blade guard and

anti-kickback pawls are in place and working prop-
erly when making these cuts to avoid possible injury. ©
Cross cuts are straight 90 ° cuts made across the grain of
the workpiece. The wood is fed into the cut at a 90 ° angle
to the blade, and the blade is vertical.
Rip cuts are made with the grain of the wood. To avoid
kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one side of
the wood rides firmly against the rip fence.
Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to the
blade other than 90 °. The blade is vertical. Miter cuts
tend to "creep" away from the miter fence during cutting.
This can be controlled by holding the workpiece securely
against the miter fence.
Bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. Bevel cross
cuts are across the wood grain, and bevel rip cuts are with
the grain.
Compound (or bevel) miter cuts are made with an angled
blade on wood that is angled to the blade. Be thoroughly
familiar with making cross cuts, rip cuts, bevel cuts, and
miter cuts before trying a compound miter cut.

CUTTING TIPS
Dado and rabbet cuts are non-through cuts which can
be either rip cuts or cross cuts. Carefully read and un-
derstand all sections of this operator's manual before at-
tempting any operation.

A WARNING: Do not use blades rated less than the

speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could
result in personal injury.
®
[] The kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood) COMPOUND(BEVEL)MITER CUT

binding. Make allowance for the kerf when measuring
wood. Fig. 34
[] Make sure the kerr is made on the waste side of the
measuring line.

[] Knock out any loose knots with a hammer before
