OPERATION

■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 then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

■Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece. See Figure 29.

■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.

BEVEL CUT

See Figures 30 and 31.

A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade angled to the workpiece. A straight bevel cut is made with the miter table set at the zero degree position and the blade set at an angle between 0° and 45° .

■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 zero on the miter scale.

■Release the miter lock plate.

Note: You can quickly locate zero by releasing the lock plate as you rotate the control arm. The lock plate will seat itself in one of the built-in 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.

■The 45° triangle on the miter fence provides for the maximum clearance required for adjusting the miter saw's angle when making a bevel or compound cut.

■Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.

■Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45° .

■Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the bevel lock knob.

■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 36 and 37.

■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 34.

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