Compound Cut; Cutting Bowed Material; Auxiliary Wood Fence - Craftsman 137.212150 Operator's Manual

COMPOUND CUT (Fig. Z)
The sliding fence must be fully extended to the left
when making any compound cuts. Failure to fully
extend the sliding fence will not allow enough space for
the blade which could result in serious injury.
1. Fully extend the fence by sliding it out as far as
possible. See "SLIDING FENCE".
2. Set the desired bevel angle and lock into position
with the bevel lock handle (1).
3. Set the desired miter angle using positive stop the
locking lever (3) or the miter quick lock (2).

CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (Fig. AA)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned properly before
cutting. Do not position workpiece incorrectly or try to
cut the workpiece without the support of the fence. This
will cause the blade to bind and could result in personal
injury.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT (Fig. BB)
Long pieces need extra support. The support should be
placed under the workpiece. Keep your hand holding
the workpiece positioned 8-1/2" or more away from the
blade. The support must let the workpiece lay flat on
the work table during the cutting operation.
NOTE: When mounted on a flat surface, the miter saw
table is 3-13/16 inches high.
NOTE: When mounted on a flat surface, the miter
saw table is 3-7/8" high.
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in
cut-off pieces of one inch or less, it is possible for the
saw blade to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of
the saw or into the blade guard and housing, possibly
causing damage or injury. To minimize this risk, turn off
the machine, wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop, unplug the unit & remove the cut pieces.
AUXILARY WOOD FENCE (Fig. CC)
Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an
auxiliary wood fence (this provides additional depth of
cut). This fence should be constructed of straight
auxiliary wood approximately 3/4 inch thick by 2-1/2
inches high by 21 inches long. Attach the wood fence
securely and make a full depth cut to make a blade slot.
Check for interference between the wood fence and the
lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary.
