Compound Miter Cuts; Large Panel Cuts; Non-Through Cuts; Making A Non-Through Cut - Porter-Cable PCX362010 Instruction Manual

COMPOUND MITER CUTS

This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and
mitering. Refer to Figure 26 and follow the instructions
for both bevel crosscutting and mitering. Remember to
use the right miter slot on the right side of the blade for
all bevel cuts.

LARGE PANEL CUTS

Place workpiece supports at the same height as the
saw table behind saw to support the cut workpiece,
and alongside (s) of saw, as needed. Depending on
shape of panel, use rip fence or miter gauge to control
workpiece. If a workpiece is too large to use either a rip
fence or a miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.

NON-THROUGH CUTS

The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting
grooves, and rabbets. Non-through cuts can be made
using a standard blade having a diameter of 10 inches.
Non-through cuts are the only type of cuts that should
be made without the blade guard assembly installed.
Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled
upon completion of this type of cut.
• When making non-through cuts, follow all
applicable warnings and instructions listed below
in addition to those listed above for the relevant
through cut.
• When making a non-through cut, blade is covered
by workpiece during most of cut. Be alert to
exposed blade at start and finish of every cut.

MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT

1. Unplug saw.
2. Unlock bevel lock.
3. Adjust bevel angle to 0°.
4. Lock bevel lock.
5. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
6. Place riving knife in "lowered" position. (See
RIVING KNIFE ADJUSTMENT Section on page 27)
7. Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.
8. Depending on shape and size of wood, use either
rip fence or miter gauge.
MAKING CUTS (CONTINUED)

• Never feed wood with hands when making any
non-through cuts such as rabbets or grooves.
Always use miter gauge, push blocks or push
sticks, and featherboards where appropriate.
• In addition to this section, read the appropriate
section which describes the type of through or cut.
For example, if your non-through cut is a straight
cross cut, read and understand the section on
straight cross cuts before proceeding.
• Once all non-through cuts are completed, unplug
saw and return riving knife to through cut position.
Install anti-kickback pawls and blade guard.
• Carefully follow the instructions accompanying any
specialized blades for proper installation, set up
and operation.
9. Plug saw into power source and turn saw on.
10. Let blade build up to full speed before moving
workpiece into blade.
11. Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or
featherboards when making non-through cuts to
reduce the risk of serious injury.
12. When cut is made, turn saw off. Wait for blade
to come to a complete stop before removing
workpiece.
