Compound Mitre Cuts

3
Note:
The compound mitre cut is a combina-
tion of mitre and bevel cuts.This means
the workpiece is cut at an angle other
than 90° against the rear guide edge
and against its surface.
A
Danger!
When cutting compound mitres the saw
blade is much more exposed than nor-
mally – increased risk of injury. Always
keep sufficient distance to the saw
blade.

Note:
Together with the track arm, the cutting
depth limiter makes grooving possible.
With grooving no parting cut is made,
but the workpiece is cut to a certain
depth only.
