OPERATION

n Tighten the miter lock handle securely.

n Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge

securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place

the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge

of a board is placed against the fence, the board could

collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the

blade.

n When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support

the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with

a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 29.

n Align cutting line on workpiece with edge of saw blade.

n Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure

it against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a

C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.

n Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting

operation just to make sure that no problems will occur

when the cut is made.

n Grasp the saw handle firmly then squeeze the switch

trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach

maximum speed.

n Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

n Release the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop

rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait

until the electric brake stops blade from turning before

removing the workpiece from the miter table.

TO BEVEL CUT

See Figures 25 - 26.

A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the

workpiece with the blade angled to the workpiece. A

straight bevel cut is made with the miter table set at

the zero degree position and the blade set at an angle

between 0° and 45°.

n Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.

n Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock handle

approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.

n Press the miter lock plate down with thumb and hold.

n Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with zero

on the miter scale.

n Release the miter lock plate.

NOTE: Quickly locate zero by releasing the lock plate as

you rotate the control arm. The lock plate will seat itself

in one of the built-in positive stop notches, located in the

miter table frame.

n Tighten the miter lock handle securely.

n The 45° triangle on the miter fence provides for the

maximum clearance required for adjusting the miter saw’s

angle when making a bevel or compound cut.

n Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to

the left to the desired bevel angle.

n Bevel angles can be set from 0

to 45

n Align the indicator point for the desired angle.

n Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle,

securely tighten the bevel lock knob.

n Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge

securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place

the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge

of a board is placed against the fence, the board could

collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the

blade. See Figures 31 - 32.

n When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support

the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with

a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 29.

n Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of

saw blade.
