Basic Saw Operations (continued)
Compound Cut
When a compound cut is required, select
the correct bevel and miter position. Move
your feet and body with the handle to the
desired miter angle to make the cut.
Cutting Bowed Material
Before cutting a workpiece, check to
make sure it is not bowed. If it is bowed
the workpiece must be positioned and cut
as illustrated. Do not position workpiece
incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece with-
out the support of the fence. This will
cause pinching of the workpiece on the
blade. The workpiece could suddenly
jump or move and your hand could hit the
blade.
