Crosscutting

"Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of
the workpiece. In MDF or particleboard, cross-
cutting means cutting across the width of the
workpiece.
To make a crosscut using the miter gauge:
1.
DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2.
Ensure that the blade guard and splitter or
riving knife is installed.
3.
Move the rip fence aside and position the
miter gauge, adjusted to 90°, in a miter slot.
4.
Adjust the blade height so the teeth protrude
approximately ⁄ " above the workpiece.

the miter gauge and ease it into the blade as
