Making a Sliding Cut (Cross Cut)
Wider workpieces can be cut using the sliding
mechanism. Always use chop cut whenever possible.

1. Make sure that the slide rail transport lock is loose,
and the saw head moves freely back and forth.
2. Select the desired angles and adjust the fences to
ensure fence hand holds are positioned to keep
hands out of the No Hand Zone.
3. Place the workpiece on the turntable and line up
the cut.
4. Insert battery pack.
5. Support the workpiece using any of the methods
described in "Support the Workpiece Properly".
6. WARNING! Keep hands out of the No Hands
Zone at all times during use. Contact with blade
will result in serious injury.
7. Raise saw head and pull it out OVER the workpiece
WITHOUT cutting.
8. Start the motor. Wait a few seconds for the blade
to reach full speed. WARNING! Do not allow
the blade to contact the workpiece while tool is
ramping up.
9. Press down on saw head.
10. Push saw through the cut. WARNING! Return
saw head to the full rear position after each
crosscut operation.
11. After the cut is complete, release the trigger
and wait for the blade to stop completely. Raise
the saw head and remove the workpiece.
WARNING! If small cut-off pieces get caught
in the guard area, remove battery pack before
clearing.
APPLICATIONS
Do not cut stone, brick, concrete,
WARNING
magnesium, 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.
Recommended Materials and Applications
The following materials can be cut with the compound
sliding miter saw. There are many types of saw
blades available. Always use the proper blade for the
particular material and application. Use only 7-1/4"
sliding miter saw blades rated at least 5000 RPM.
• 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.
Cutting Non-Square 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

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.
