5.4 Cross Cutting (90°)

For straight cuts across the grain of the wood.

• Ensure the blade is set to a 90-degree angle (0-degree bevel).
• Use the miter gauge to guide the workpiece for accurate cross cuts.
• The maximum cutting depth for a 90-degree cross cut is approximately 73mm (2-7/8 inches).
