OPERATION

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. See Figure 26.

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 saw 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 miter table.

TO COMPOUND MITER CUT

See Figure 27.

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 the control arm on the miter table

must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must

be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always be

taken 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.

It may take several settings to obtain the desired cut. The

first angle setting should be checked after setting the second

angle, since adjusting the second angle affects the first.

Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have been

obtained, always make a test cut in scrap material before

making a finish cut in good material.

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 your thumb and

hold.

n Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the

desired angle on the miter scale.

n Release the miter lock plate.

NOTE: You can quickly locate 0˚, 15˚, 22-1/2˚, left or right,

30˚ and 45˚ left or right by releasing the miter lock plate as

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

itself in one of the positive stop notches, located in miter

table frame.

Fig. 27

n Tighten the miter lock handle securely.

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

securely tighten the bevel lock knob.

n Recheck miter angle setting. Make a test cut in scrap

material.

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 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 the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of

saw blade.
