Miter Cut•A miter cut is made at 0° bevel and any miter
angle in the range from 50° left to 60° right.
•The miter scale is cast-in on the table for easy
reading.
•Positive detents have been provided for fast and
accurate mitering at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, and 45° left
and right and 60° right.
•There are crown molding detents (left and right)
at 31.6° (see Cutting Crown Molding for more

•For off detent settings, use the detent override to
lock out the detent.
•A miter cut can be made as either a chop cut or
a slide cut depending on the width of the work-
piece.
Follow these instructions for making your
miter cut:
1. Loosen miter lock knob. Lift miter detent trigger
and move the saw to the desired angle, using
either the detents or the miter scale. Tighten

clamp clears guard and head assembly.
3. Follow procedures for either chop cut or slide
cut (see page 24).
