OPERATION
MAKING A COMPOUND (BEVEL) MITER CUT
See Figure 55.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
working properly to avoid serious personal injury.
WARNING:
The miter gauge must be on the right side of the
blade to avoid trapping the wood and causing
kickback. Placement of the miter gauge to the
left of the blade will result in kickback and the
risk of serious personal injury.
 Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking lever.
 Unlock the bevel locking lever.
 Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting.
 Lock the bevel locking lever.
 Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
 Set the miter gauge to the desired angle and tighten the
lock knob.
 Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
on the saw.
 Turn the power switch to the on position.
 Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
 Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands on the miter
gauge and feed the workpiece into the blade.
NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be placed
on the miter gauge lock knob and the hand farthest from
the blade should be placed on the workpiece.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
MAKING A LARGE PANEL CUT
See Figure 56.
Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface or
leg stand to avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
working properly to avoid serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter
gauge or rip fence). Such a cut increases the risk
of kickback and can result in serious injury.
COMPOUND (BEVEL) MITER CUT
SUPPORT
 Install feather board in the appropriate position for the
cut being made.
 Place a support the same height as the top of the saw
table behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports to
the sides as needed.
WARNING:
Improper support of the workpiece on the side
and/or outfeed side of the saw could create
unexpected movement of the workpiece and/
or the saw, resulting in serious personal injury.
