- Raise the blade until it is approximately 1/8"
(3.2 mm) above the top of the work piece.
- Hold the work piece firmly against the miter
gauge, with the path of the blade in line with the
desired cutting line. Move the work piece to
within 1" (2.5 cm) of the blade.
- Start the saw, and wait for the blade to reach
full speed. Do not stand directly in line with the
saw blade's path. Instead, stand on the side
where the cut is being made.
- Keep the work piece against the face of the miter
gauge and flat against the table. Slowly push the
miter gauge with the work piece through the
blade.
- Do not attempt to pull the work piece backward
while the blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF,
and wait until the blade has come to a complete
stop before carefully sliding the work piece out.
WARNING: In order to avoid instability, always
place the larger surface of the workpiece on the
table when crosscutting and/or bevel crosscutting.
5. Bevel crosscutting 0° - 45° blade bevel &
90° miter angle (Fig. 29)
This operation is the same as crosscutting, except
that the blade is at a bevel angle other than 0°.
- Adjust the blade to the desired angle, and then
tighten the blade bevel-locking knob.
- Tighten the miter locking handle at 90°.
- Hold the work piece firmly against the face of
the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.
6. Compound miter crosscutting 0° - 45°
blade bevel & 0° - 45° miter angle (Fig. 30)
This sawing operation combines a miter angle
with a bevel angle.
- Set the miter gauge to the desired angle.
- Set the blade bevel to the desired bevel angle,
and tighten the blade bevel-locking knob.
- Hold the work piece firmly against the face of
the miter gauge throughout the cutting operation.
7. Mitering: 0° - 45° miter angle (Fig. 31)
This operation is the same as crosscutting, except
that the miter gauge is locked at an angle other
than 90°.
- Set the blade to a 0° bevel angle, and tighten
the blade bevel locking knob.
