3.      In cross cutting you always pull the saw toward yourself  and across the material which is held stationary against the  fence  Never feed material into the saw when cross cutting   and never cut when pushing the saw away from yourself   With the motor    OFF     and the blade at 90   to the fence and  perpendicular to the table  push the saw to the back of the  arm behind the fence  Place the piece to be cut against the  fence  Hold it firmly with four fingers on the top surface and  the thumb tucked under the palm and against the edge facing  you  Keep hand well away from the line of cut     Turn the motor    ON     Grasp the saw handle firmly and pull  the saw toward you until the piece is completely cut through   but not so far that the rear of the blade comes out of the cut  in the material  Figure 91   This will prevent the loose piece    from getting behind the blade and interfering with your    returning the saw to the rear of the arm  which should always  be done after each crosscut is completed  Turn the motor     OFF            This basic cut is also called a    climb cut    because the  rotation of the blade tends to hold the piece downward  against the table and against the fence       the saw wants to     climb    over the piece but is held firmly down by the saw arm     faster than the blade can cut   possibly jamming in the wood      CAUTION  ALWAYS WEAR PROTEC     TIVE GOGGLES   WEAR DUST MASK IF  OPERATION IS DUSTY           MITER CUTS    1  With the mot
