Compound Cuts

A “compound cut” is a cross-cut made with the blade both at a miter angle and at a bevel angle.

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.Extend the base extensions and fence. (See Sliding Fences and Base Extensions on page 26 & 27.)

2.Properly position workpiece. Make sure workpiece is clamped firmly against the table or the fence (figure 43).

Use clamping position that does not interfere with operation.

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

Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the saw Off by conducting a simulated cutting cycle, and

observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6) inches away from the projected path of the saw blade.

3.Set miter and bevel angles according to the instructions on page 30 and 31 for miter and bevel cuts.

4.Follow the procedures for chop cut or slide cut.

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

Cutting crown molding flat on the table requires compound cuts. See cutting crown molding section on page 36.
