WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt your
compound miter saw to a workbench. Never operate your
miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to
heed this warning can result in serious persional injury
CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND
MITER SAW
WARNING:
When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure your
workpiece against the fence, clamp workpiece on one
side of the blade only. The workpiece must remain free on
one side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in
workpiece. The workpiece binding the blade will cause
motor stalling and kickback. This situation could cause an
accident resulting in possible serious personal injury.
CROSSCUTTING
See Figure 26.
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight crosscut is made with the miter table
set at the zero degree position. Miter crosscuts are made
with the miter table set at some angle other than zero.
TO CROSSCUT WITH YOUR MITER SAW:
■ Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
■ Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock
handle approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.
■ Press the lock plate down with your thumb and hold.
■ Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale.
■ Release the lock plate.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 22-1/2° left or right,
and 45° left or right by releasing the lock plate as you
rotate the control arm. The lock plate will seat itself in one
of the positive stop notches, located in the miter table
frame.
■ Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter
lock handle securely before making a cut. Failure to do so
could result in movement of the control arm or miter table
while making a cut.
■ Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place
the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge
of a board is placed against the fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the
blade.
■ When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
a work surface level with the saw table.
■ Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw
blade.
■ Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to
secure the workpiece when possible.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands outside
the no hands zone; at least 3 in. (76.2 mm) from blade.
Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without
holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could
grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
■ Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
■ Grasp the saw handle firmly, slide the lock-off lever
back, then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several
seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
■ Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
See Figure 26.
■ Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.
Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning
before removing the workpiece from the miter table.
