OPERATION

WARNING:

Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt your miter saw to a workbench. Never operate your miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury

CUTTING WITH YOUR MITER SAW

WARNING:

When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure your workpiece against the fence, clamp workpiece on one side of the blade only. The workpiece must remain free on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The workpiece binding the blade will cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting in possible serious personal injury.

with the miter table set at some angle other than zero.

 

TO CROSSCUT WITH YOUR MITER SAW:

■Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.

■Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.

■Press the miter lock plate down with your thumb and hold.

■Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the miter scale.

■Release the miter lock plate.

NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, or 15°, 22-1/2°, 30°, and 45° left or right by releasing the miter lock plate as you rotate the control arm. The miter lock plate will seat itself in one of the positive stop notches, located in the miter table frame.

■Tighten the miter lock handle securely.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter lock handle securely before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the control arm or miter table while making a cut.

■Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. 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. See Figures 24 and 25.

■When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 23.

■Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.

■Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands outside the no hands zone and at least 3 in. (76.2 mm) from blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without securing workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.

■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.

■Grasp the saw handle firmly, slide the lock-off lever back, then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

■Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

■Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning before removing the workpiece from the miter table.
