COMPOUND CUT (FIG. 28)
A compound cut is the combination of a miter and a
bevel cut simultaneously.
● Loosen the bevel lock handle (1) and position the
cutting head at the desired bevel position. Lock
the bevel lock handle (1).
● Loosen the miter handle (2). Lift up the positive
stop locking lever (3) and position the table at the
desired angle. Release the positive stop locking
lever (3) and lock the miter handle (2).
SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP TO 8 IN. WIDE
(FIG. 29)
CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain
control and reduce the risk of workpiece damage and
personal injury.
To avoid injury:
● Let the blade reach full speed before cutting. This
will help reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece.
● Do not make crosscuts by lowering the blade and
pulling the saw head through the wood toward
you. The blade may try to climb up on top of the
workpiece, causing the cutting assembly and
spinning blade to kick back forcefully.
To Slide Cut Wide Boards (FIG. 29)
● Unlock the carriage lock handle (1) and allow the
cutting head assembly to move freely.
● Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the miter
angle and lock into position.
● Use a hold down clamp (2) to secure the
workpiece (3).
● Grasp and pull the switch handle (4) forward until
the center of the saw blade is over the front of the
workpiece (3).
● Engage the trigger to turn the saw on.
● When the saw reaches full speed, slowly push the
switch handle down, cutting through the leading
edge of the workpiece.
● Slowly move the switch handle toward the fence,
completing the cut.
● Release the trigger and allow the blade to stop
spinning before raising the cutting head and
removing the workpiece.
CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. 30)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned against the fence
and secured with a clamp (1) before cutting as shown.
Do not position workpiece incorrectly or try to cut the
workpiece without the support of the fence. This will cause
the blade to bind and could result in personal injury.
