Basic Saw Operations (continued)
Cutting a Dimensional 4x4 (3-1/2" X 3-1/2"
Actual) With One Cut
A dimensional 4x4 may be cut with one cut by attaching
auxiliary fence.

Vertical Bevel Cutting

To make a miter cut in a 2x4 workpiece (actual 1-5/8" x 3-1/2")
in the vertical position (on edge) a spacer, such as the auxiliary
fence described in the previous page, is required.

Repeat-A-Cut Fence

The repeat-a-cut surface allows pencil marks to be made
and easily erased. Measure once; repeat cuts accurately
and quickly.
Use and Operation of Extension Bars and
Stop Block
WARNING: Avoid thrown workpieces. Avoid bind-
ing the work against the blade:
- Always hold or clamp your work down to the saw.
- Do not hold or clamp the workpiece on both
sides of the blade. The blade can throw a cut off
piece if you confine the workpiece on both sides
of the blade.
- Always perform dry runs. Make sure the saw is
unplugged. Completely set up your saw and
accessory. Pull the blade and power head through
the full range of motion to check for interference.
The accessory can be used in a left or right con-
figuration. Make sure that your blade,saw guard or
motor does not interfere with the accessory. Cor-
rect any interference before use.
- No visible gap should be present between saw
and wood.
1. Set the adjustable stop block to the desired length of
cut and tighten the screw to hold it in place.
2. Place material to be cut on table of miter saw.

3. Perform a dry run with the saw unplugged: after the
saw is completely set up, pull the power head down as
if you were making an actual cut. Check for interfer-
ences and for potentially dangerous situations. Adjust
the set up so that a safe operation can be completed.
4. Complete the cut.
IMPORTANT: To help perform the safest and most pre-
cise miter saw cut, lower the blade through the cut and
then release the power switch. Hold the power head
down and keep your hands in place until the blade stops
rotating. Then raise the power head and remove work-
piece from worktable.
