Cross cuts
are
straight90
° cuts
rr_ds acrossthe grain of
the
workpiaos. The wood is
fed into the

and the blade is vertical.
Rip
cuts
are
made
with the grain of the wood. To avoid
kickback while making a

cut, make
sure
one side of
the
wood rides
firmly
againstthe rip fence.
Miter cuts
are
made with
the
wood
at any
angle
to
ths
