Compound Miter Cut - Wen 70712 Manual

WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter lock before making a cut.
Failure to do so could result in the table moving during operation,
causing serious personal injury.
5. Loosen the bevel lock (FIGURE 11). Move the saw arm to the desired
bevel angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock.
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the
fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the
concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the
blade.
7. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with the sidebars, a roller stand or a
work surface that is level with the saw table.
8. Use the clamp assembly to secure the workpiece wherever possible.
9. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly by loosening the clamp assembly lock and moving it to the other side
of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly lock is tight before using the clamp.
10. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
11. Hold the operating handle firmly and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
12. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
13. Once the cut has been made, release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the
blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece.

COMPOUND MITER CUT

A compound miter cut involves using a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same time (FIGURE 24). Always make
a test cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting into good material. Use the slide action when cutting wide work-
pieces.
1. Pull on the release knob (FIGURE 2) and lift the saw arm to its full height.
2. Loosen the miter lock ((FIGURE 10).
3. Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the miter scale. Retighten the miter lock.
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter lock before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the
table moving during the cut, causing serious personal injury.
4. Loosen the bevel lock ((FIGURE 11) and move the saw arm to the left or right to the desired bevel angle (between
0° and 45°). Tighten the bevel lock.
5. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the
convex side against the fence. If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break.
