OPERATION

■ Release the miter lock lever.

NOTE: You can quickly locate 0° by releasing the

miter lock lever as you rotate the control arm. The

miter lock lever will seat itself in one of the positive

stop notches, located in miter table frame.

■ Tighten the miter lock handle securely.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the

miter lock handle securely before making a cut. Fail-

ure to do so could result in movement of the control

arm or miter table while making a cut.

■ Loosen the bevel lock knob.

■ Move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel

angle.

NOTE: You can set bevel angles from 0° to 45°.

Align the indicator point to the desired angle.

■ Tighten the bevel lock knob securely.

■ Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one

edge securely against the fence.

NOTE: Refer to CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

and SUPPORTING LONG AND WIDE

WORKPIECES later in this manual.

■ Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge

of saw blade.

■ Clamp the workpiece firmly against the fence using

the work clamp or a C-clamp.

WARNING:

If not held securely in place, the workpiece is pulled

toward the blade in a bevel crosscut. This action can

result in the workpiece kicking back. Always se-

curely clamp the workpiece when bevel cutting. Keep

your hands out of the cutting area to avoid serious

personal injury.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands

outside the no hands zone; at least 3 in. (76 mm)

from the blade. Never perform any cutting operation

freehand (without holding workpiece against the

fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips

or twists.

■ Perform a dry run of the cutting operation (before

turning on the saw) just to make sure that no problems

will occur when you make the cut.

■ Grasp the saw handle firmly.

■ Squeeze the switch trigger.

■ Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maxi-

mum speed.

■ Lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

■ Release the switch trigger.

■ Wait for the blade to stop before raising the saw arm

or moving the workpiece.

COMPOUND MITER CUT

See Figure 13.

A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle

and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is

used to make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes

with sloping sides, and for certain roof framing cuts.

To make this type of cut, you must rotate the control arm

on the miter table to the correct angle and tilt the saw arm

to the correct bevel angle. Take care when making

compound miter setups due to the interaction of the two

angle settings.

Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are

interdependent with one another. Each time you adjust

the miter setting, you change the effect of the bevel

setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting, you

change the effect of the miter setting.
