8. Always allow the saw to do the work. Forcing the
tool may stall or overheat the motor.
9. After the cut is complete, release the trigger and
wait for the blade to stop completely. Then gently
raise the saw head and remove the workpiece.
Always unplug the tool before retrieving loose
cut-off pieces from inside the guard area.
Making a Sliding Cut
Wider workpieces can be cut using the sliding
mechanism.

1. Make sure that the slide rail lock is loose and that
the saw head moves freely back and forth.
2. Select the desired angle following the steps in
"Adjusting the Miter Angle" and "Adjusting the
Bevel Angle".
3. Place the workpiece on the turntable and line up
the cut.
4. Raise saw head and pull it out OVER the work-
piece WITHOUT cutting (1).
5. Start the motor. Wait a few seconds for the blade
to reach full speed.
6. Press down on saw head (2).
7. Push saw through the cut (3).
8. After the cut is complete, release the trigger and
wait for the blade to stop completely. Then gently
raise the saw head (4) and remove the workpiece.
Always unplug the tool before retrieving loose cut-
off pieces from inside the guard area.
APPLICATIONS
Do not cut stone, brick, concrete,
WARNING
or ferrous metals (iron, steel, stain-
less steel, or alloys of these metals) with this saw.
Do not use abrasive wheels with this saw.
Dust created by cutting these materials and/or
using abrasive cut-off wheels can jam the blade
guard and possibly cause personal injury.
Recommended Materials and Applications
The following materials can be cut with the slide
compound miter saw. There are many types of saw
blades available. Always use the proper blade for the
particular material and application.
• Wood - solid wood, plywood, particle board, MDF
(medium density fiberboard), HDF (high density
fiberboard), melamine laminated particle board,
formica laminates, hardboard (masonite).
• Plastics - PVC, CPVC, ABS, solid surfacing materi-
als (such as Corian
When cutting plastic, avoid overheating the blade
and blade teeth to prevent melting the workpiece.
• Nonferrous Metals - aluminum, brass, copper, and
other non-ferrous materials.
), and other plastic materials.

Cutting Non-Square Materials
Cutting Round (Cylindrical) Materials
"V" shaped blocks can be used to support round
materials like closet rod and plastic pipe.
Aluminum Sash and Other
Channel Type and Materials
Aluminum sash material can be supported with
blocks to prevent it from deforming while it is be-
ing cut.

Two Methods for Cutting Crown Molding
The angles created on a piece of crown molding that
fits flat against the ceiling and wall will, when added
together, equal 90° (A + B = 90°).The most common
crown molding angles are :
52 /38 : A 52° angle against the ceiling (A) and a 38°
° °
angle against the wall (B). The miter saw has spe-
cial miter settings at 31.6° left and right and a bevel
setting at 33.9° to use when cutting 52°/ 38° crown
molding flat on the miter saw table. These settings
are identified with a diamond mark.
45 /45 : A 45° angle against the ceiling (A) and a 45°
° °
angle against the wall (B). The miter saw has special
miter settings at 35.3° left and right and a bevel set-
ting at 30° to use when cutting 45°/ 45° crown flat
on the miter saw table. These settings are identified
with a black circle.
NOTE: Even though all of these angles are standard,
rooms are very rarely constructed so the corners
are exactly 90°. You will need to "fine tune" these
settings and make necessary adjustments to the
cutting angles.
