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 fiber-
board), HDF (high density fiberboard), melamine laminated particle
board, formica laminates, hardboard (masonite).
Plastics
PVC, CPVC, ABS, solid surfacing materials (such as Corian
other plastic materials.
Nonferrous Metals
aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous materials.
Do not cut stone, brick, concrete, or ferrous
metals (iron, steel, stainless 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.
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 (Fig. 10)
Aluminum sash material can be supported with blocks to prevent it from
deforming while it is being cut (Fig. 10).

APPLICATIONS
Cutting Compound Miters (Fig. 11)
The chart below identifies miter and bevel settings for various types of
crown molding for 90° corners. Note that these are ideal settings and
may vary because many moldings have slightly different spring angles
and some walls are not perfectly square. Fig. 11 illustrates the relation-
ship between the spring angle, the ceiling, the wall and the molding.
