c) Before starting the cut, raise the blade so that it is about 1/8” higher than the top of the

workpiece.

d) When ripping, feed force should always be applied

between the saw blade and the fence.

• In ripping, use LEFT hand to hold the board down

against the fence or fixture, and the RIGHT to push it

into the blade between the blade and the fence.

Never push in a location such that the RIGHT/pushing

hand is in line with the blade.

• Only use the LEFT hand to guide the workpiece

against the fence, and remove it from the work about

12” in front of the blade. Continue to feed material

with RIGHT hand, keeping to the right of the path of

the blade.

• After the cut is complete, use a push stick to feed cut-

off piece past the blade.

e) When the workpiece is past the blade, the work will

either stay on the table or tilt up slightly and be caught by the end of the guard. Alternately, the

feed will continue to the end of the table, and be lifted and brought along the outside edge of

the fence.

f) When ripping boards longer than the table, use a work support at the rear of the saw to keep

the workpiece from falling off the saw table or ask someone in the shop to assist you.

7.7. Crosscuts & Miter Cuts

The Powermatic saw is equipped with a long miter attached to a sliding portion of

the table. Crosscuts made on this saw are safer and much more accurate than if

made with the smaller miter gauge on the Delta saws.

Crosscutting is where the workpiece is fed cross-grain into the saw blade using the miter gauge to

support and position the workpiece.

Keys to making a high-quality crosscut and miter cut include:

• A properly-adjusted miter gauge

• Cutting on the layout marks

• Maintaining control of the wood and avoiding kick-back:

o Make sure your workpiece does not rock against the miter gauge face or slip sideways

during the cut.
