OPERATING YOUR MITRE SAW
(Use only for the purposes listed below)
• cross cutting wood.

Warning: Before starting any cutting operations, clamp
or screw your compound mitre saw to a workbench.
Never operate your mitre saw on the floor or in a
crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
CROSSCUT
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90° crosscut is made with the mitre table
set at the 0° position. Mitre crosscuts are made with the
mitre table set at some other angle other than 0°.
TO CROSS CUT WITH YOUR MITRE SAW

■ Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one
edge securely against the fence. If the board is
warped, place the convex side against the fence
and clamp. 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. (fig. 23
& 24)
■ When cutting long piece of timber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock. Align cutting line on the
workpiece with the edge of the saw blade.
Grasp the stock firmly and secure it against the fence.
■ 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.

trigger (17). Allow several seconds for the blade to
reach maximum speed.
■ Use thumb to press the safety lock(2) toward the

to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the
workpiece.
■ Slowly move the blade upward to the highest position
and release the safety lock.
