Compound mitre cut

A compound mitre cut
involves using a mitre angle
and a bevel angle at the
same time (Fig. s). It is used
in making picture frames, to
cut mouldings, making boxes
with sloping sides and for roof
framing. Always make a test
cut on a piece of scrap wood
before cutting into the good material.
1. Pull on the release knob (2) and lift the saw arm to
its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock (15).
3. Rotate the mitre table (12) until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the mitre scale (13).
4. Retighten the mitre lock (15).
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre lock before making
a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving
during the cut, causing serious personal injury.

securely against the fence (11). 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.
