Cutting with your miter saw
WARNING: When using a workpiece clamp or
C-clamp to secure your workpiece, 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.
WARNING: NEVER move the workpiece or make
adjustment to any cutting angle while the saw is
running and the blade is rotating. Any slip can result
in contact with the blade causing serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Do not try to cut narrow pieces using the
sliding feature. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Securely tighten the slide lock knob when
making any non-sliding cuts. Failure to tighten the
knob could result in the saw head moving during the
cutting operation.
CAUTION: It may be necessary to slide the sliding
fence out to the required location or remove it to
ensure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
Chop cuts (Fig. 25)
Chop cuts are used mainly for narrow workpieces.
•
Turn the slide lock knob counter-clockwise to release
the slide bars.
•
Slide the saw head to the rear as far as it will go.
Tighten the slide lock knob by turning the knob
clockwise.
•
Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one
edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped,
18
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 Fig. 34a-34b)
•
When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the opposite end of the workpiece with
extension table. (See Fig. 24b)
•
Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of
saw blade.
•
Turn the precision blade guide systems ON/OFF switch
on to project the blade shadow onto the workpiece.
•
Grasp the workpiece rmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the workpiece clamp or a C-clamp
2
to secure the workpiece when possible. Make sure that
the clamp does not interfere with the cutting operation.
•
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to make sure that no problems will
occur when the cut is made.
•
Grasp the switch handle rmly. Turn the switch on and
allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum
speed.
•
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
•
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece
and removing the workpiece from the miter table.

Slide cuts (Fig. 26a-26b)
This type of cut is used mainly for wide pieces. The slide lock
knob is loosened and saw head is pulled towards the
operator. The saw head is lowered to the workpiece and
then pushed to the rear of the saw to make the cut.
WARNING: Never make a cut by pulling the saw
toward you as the blade can climb on top of the
workpiece and come toward you. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
•
Pull out the head lock pin and lift saw head to its full
height.
