Saw Operations

Compound Cuts

A compound cut is a cut requiring both a miter setting and a bevel setting.

Because it may take several tries to obtain the desired compound angle, perform test cuts on scrap material before making your cut.

Follow these instructions for making your compound cut:

1.Move sliding fence to proper position 1 (see Sliding Fence on page 54).

2.Extend the sliding base 2 (see Sliding Base Extension on page 54). Select the desired miter and bevel angles 3 (Figure 32). (See Miter Cut and Bevel Cut on pages 56 and 58.)

3.Properly position workpiece 4. Make sure workpiece is clamped 5 firmly against the table and the fence.

4.Make sure all controls are locked before cutting.

!WARNING Use clamping position that does not interfere with operation. Before switching

on, lower head assembly to make sure clamp clears guard and head assembly.

4.Activate the switch. Lower the head assembly and make your cut.

5.Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before returning head assembly to the raised position and/or removing workpiece.
