TO MITER CUT / CROSS CUT
See Figures 25 - 26.
A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table
set at the 0 position. Miter cross cuts are made with the
°
miter table set at some angle other than zero.
 Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
 Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock handle
approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.
 Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale.
 Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
 Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place
the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge
of a board is placed against the fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the
blade. See Figures 33 - 34.

 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
a work surface level with the miter table. See Figure 31.
 Align cutting line on workpiece with edge of saw blade
or laser line.
 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the work clamp, C-clamp, or other suitable
clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
 Grasp the saw handle firmly then squeeze the switch
trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach
maximum speed.
 Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
 Release the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait
until the electric brake stops blade from turning before
removing the workpiece from the miter table.
