4. Make dry run (practice). With the Bat-
tery Pack 29 disconnected, move the Miter
Gauge 14 and workpiece along the Facing
Block 100 until it touches the idle Blade 32.
(Blade 32 is set 1/8 inch (3.2mm) higher
than workpiece.)
NOTE: The workpiece MUST be off the Fac-
ing Block 100 BEFORE it contacts the Blade
32. Crosscutting Capacity 101 for these
cuts is 5" (127 mm) with a 3/4" (19 mm)
workpiece or 4-1/8" (105 mm) with a 1-1/2"
(38 mm) workpiece. If the "dry run" is suc-
cessful, go to the next step.
5. Insert the Battery Pack 29, turn the saw on,
and make the cut. Turn the saw off.
6. After the Blade 32 has stopped remove the
Cutoff Piece 102 before cutting the next
piece.
Miter Cutting
(Fig. 86)
Miter cutting is cutting wood at an angle other
than 90° with the edge of the wood. Follow the
same procedure as you would for crosscutting.
Adjust the Miter Gauge 14 to the desired angle,
and lock it. (See "Adjusting the Miter Angle" on
page 52.)
The Miter Gauge 14 may be used in either of the
Miter Gauge Slots 73 in the Table.
When using the Miter Gauge 14 in the LEFT hand
Miter Gauge Slot 73, hold the workpiece firmly
against the body of the Miter Gauge 14 with

your left hand, and grip the Miter Gauge Lock
Knob 107 with your right hand.
When using the RIGHT hand Miter Gauge Slot
73, hold the workpiece with your right hand and
grip the Miter Gauge Lock Knob 107 with your
left hand.
Bevel Crosscutting
(Fig. 87)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting,
ex cept that the wood is also cut at a bevel angle
other than 90° with the flat side of the wood.
1. Adjust the Blade to the desired angle.
2. Use the Miter Gauge 14 in the Miter Gauge
Slot 73 to the RIGHT of the Blade 32.

Compound Miter Cutting
Compound miter cutting is a combination of
miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut
is made at an angle other than 90° to both the
edge and the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the Miter Gauge 14 and the Blade 32
to the desired angle and make sure the Miter
Gauge 14 is locked.
