OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you care- less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING:

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

CUTTING WITH YOUR Compound

MITER SAW

WARNING:

When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure your workpiece, 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.

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.

APPLICATIONS

This product has been designed only for the purposes listed below:

Cross cutting wood and plastic (do not cut metals, ceramics, or masonry products.)

Cross cutting miters, joints, etc. for picture frames mold- ings, door casings, and fine joinery

Bevel cutting and compound cutting

Note: The blade provided is fine for most wood cutting operations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use one of the accessory blades available from the dealer.

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to any cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade causing serious personal injury.

To Cross cut

See Figures 29 - 30.

A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table set at the 0° position. Miter cross cuts are made with the miter table set at some angle other than zero.

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

Lift the miter lock lever.

Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.
