Cutting with Your Compound Miter SAW, Crosscutting

OPERATION

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.

CROSSCUTTING

See Figure 29.

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

TO CROSSCUT WITH YOUR MITER SAW

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

■Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible. See Figure 29.

■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 the desired angle on the miter scale.

■Release the miter lock plate.

Note: You can quickly locate 0°, 22-1/2°left or right, and 45° left or right by releasing the lock plate as you rotate the control arm. The lock plate will seat itself in one of the 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.
