Bring the saw arm down so the blade is approximately
1/4 in. from the workpiece. The shadow of the blade will be
projected onto the workpiece, indicating where the blade
teeth will make contact as the cut is made.
TO MAKE NON-SLIDING CUTS
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.
TO MITER CUT/CROSS CUT
See Figures 28 - 29.
A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table
set at the 0° position. Miter cross cuts are made with the
miter table set at some angle other than 0°.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the partial sliding fence
to ensure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
 Slide the saw head to its most rearward position and
tighten the slide lock knob securely.
 Raise saw arm to its full height.
 Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn
and squeeze the detent release lever.
 Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale.
 Release the detent release lever, then tighten the miter
lock knob to secure the miter table.
