Bevel Crosscutting; Compound Mitering - Delta 36-790 Manuel D'utilisation

Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.
When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length,
clamp a block of wood (B) to the fence and use it as a cut-
off gauge (Fig. 55). The block (B) must be at least 3/4" thick
to prevent the cut-off piece from binding between the blade
and the fence during removal from the saw table. Always
position this block of wood in front of the saw blade. Once
the cut-off length is determined, lock the fence and use the
miter gauge to feed the work into the cut.
When using the block (B) Fig. 55 as a cut-
off gauge, position the rear end of the block so that the
workpiece is clear of the block before it enters the blade.
MITERINg
Mitering (Fig. 56) is the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge (C) is locked at an angle other than 0°. Hold the workpiece
firmly against the miter gauge and feed the work slowly into the blade to prevent the workpiece from moving.
Use caution when starting the cut to prevent
binding of the guard against the workpiece. Miter angles
greater than 45° may force the guard into the saw blade
and damage the guard. Before starting the motor, test
the operation by feeding the workpiece into the guard. If
the guard contacts the blade, place the workpiece under
the guard, not touching the blade, before starting the
motor. Certain workpiece shapes, such as mouldings,
may not lift the guard properly. Feed the work slowly to
start the cut.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTINg

Bevel crosscutting (Fig. 57) is the same as crosscutting except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0°.
When possible, use the right miter gauge slot when bevel crosscutting so that the blade tilts away from
the miter gauge and your hands.
Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the guard against the workpiece.

COMPOUNd MITERINg

Compound Mitering (Fig. 58) is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering, where the blade is beveled to an angle other than
0° and the miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 0 degrees. Always use the miter slot (D) which allows the blade to tilt away
from the miter gauge and hands.
