STRAIGHT CROSSCUT
Fig. 24
WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt your
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 personal injury.
CUTTING WITH YOUR MITER SAW
WARNING:
When using the optional 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 25.
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 miter 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 miter lock plate.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, or 15°, 22-1/2°, 30°,
and 45° left or right by releasing the miter lock plate as you
rotate the control arm. The miter lock plate will seat itself
in one of the positive stop notches, located in the miter
table frame.
■ Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
OPERATION
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.
See Figures 26 and 27.
■ 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.
See Figure 25.
■ 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 optional 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 and at least 3 in. (76.2 mm) from blade.
Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without
securing workpiece against the fence). The blade could
grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purposes listed below)
■ Cross cutting wood and plastic.
■ Cross cutting miters, joints, etc. for picture frames,
moldings, and fine joinery.
NOTE: The crosscut blade provided is fine for most wood
cutting operations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic,
use one of the accessory blades available from your Ryobi
dealer.
