Loss of balance can cause an injury in unexpected situation • If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards. • Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. • Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles cannot safely control the tool. TOOL USE AND CARE Secure the work piece. • use clamp or other practical way to hold the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. 10" Compound Laser Miter Saw Operator’s Manual GMS15LB... - Page 4 AnD UnDErSTAnD ALL WArningS, CAUTiOnS AnD OPErATing inSTrUCTiOnS BEFOrE USing THiS EQUiPMEnT.

FIG 12 FIG 11 POINTER AND SCALE An arrow shaped pointer is located at the forward end of the miter saw insert plate. Each line on the miter scale represents 1°. When the miter table is rotated the pointer is moved from one line to the next along the miter scale, changing the angle of cut by one degree. 10" Compound Laser Miter Saw Operator’s Manual GMS15LB... -
Page 12: Miter Crosscutting
MITER CROSSCUTTING Crosscuts are cuts made across the grain of the work piece, with a straight cut being made with the both the blade bevel and miter table set at 0°. A miter crosscut is made when the miter table is set at some angle other then 0°. 1. Measure and mark the work piece with the desired cut line. Mark the work piece on each side of the cut line indicating which side is the scrap or off cut and which the desired finished piece is. 2. unlock the rotating miter table loosening the miter locking knob. 3. use the miter handle to rotate the table, left or right, to the desired cutting angle. Then tighten the miter lock knob. 4. Place the work piece onto the saw table and against the fence. Turn on the laser light source. 5. Move the work piece left or right to align the cut line with the saw blade and laser light. Then secure the work piece in place, holding it either by hand for large pieces or via clamping device for small pieces. 6. After confirming the saw settings and that the work piece is secured, turn on the saw and make the cut. BEVEL CUTTING A bevel cut is made by cutting across the work piece grain with the blade angled or tilted to the work piece. When making a straight bevel cut, the miter table is set at the 0° position and the blade angled and set at a position between 0° and 45°. 1. Measure and mark the work piece with the desired cut line. Mark the work piece on each side of the cut line indicating which side is the scrap or off cut and which the desired finished piece is. 2. Set and lock the rotating miter table in place at 0°. 3. Loosen the bevel locking handle and move the cutting arm left to the desired bevel angle as indicated by the bevel scale pointer. Tighten the bevel locking handle securely 4. Place the work piece onto the saw table and against the fence. Turn on the laser light source. 10" Compound Laser Miter Saw Operator’s Manual GMS15LB... -

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING your compound miter saw is the ideal tool for cutting crown molding, which bridges the wall and ceiling. The most common style of crown molding used today has a top rear angle of 52° at the ceiling and a bottom rear angle of 38° where it meets the wall. For an installation with tight fitting corners where the right and left pieces meet, extremely accurate bevel and miter angle settings are required. Since the most common corners encountered when using crown molding measure 90° inside and outside, the following instructions will be for cutting 52°/38° crown molding to fit 90° corners with the molding laying flat on the saw table. When cutting and installing crown molding keep in mind the bevel and miter angles involved are extremely accurate while the corners you’ll be working on will rarely measure exactly 90°. Therefore, be prepared to make numerous practice cuts with scrap molding to help fine tune your saw settings. Crown molding cutting instructions For all cuts the bevel angle is 33.85° and the miter angle is 31.62° (right and left). Left side, inside corner: 1. Top edge of molding against fence 2. Miter table set right to 31.62° 3. Bevel set at 33.85° 4. Make cut, save left end of cut right side, inside corner 1. Bottom edge of molding against fence 2. Miter table set left to 31.62° 3. Bevel set at 33.85° 4.
