OPERATION

nRelease 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.

nTighten the miter lock handle securely.

nPlace 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.

nWhen 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 37.

nAlign cutting line on workpiece with edge of saw blade.

nGrasp 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.

nBefore turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

nGrasp the saw handle firmly then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

nSlowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

nRelease the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning before removing the workpiece from the miter table.

TO BEVEL CUT

See Figures 34- 35.

A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade angled to the workpiece. A straight bevel cut is made with the miter table set at the zero degree position and the blade set at an angle between 0° and 45°.

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

nLoosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.

nPress the miter lock plate down with thumb and hold.

nRotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.

nRelease the miter lock plate.

NOTE: You can quickly locate zero by releasing the lock plate as you rotate the control arm. The lock plate will seat itself in one of the built-in positive stop notches, located in the miter table frame.

nTighten the miter lock handle securely.

nAdjustments of the miter fence must be made to cor- respond to the desired angle of the bevel cut prior to tilting the saw arm. The bevel scale is marked for 15°, 30°, and 45°. Loosen the fence screw on the miter fence, slide the fence to the desired position, and retighten the fence screw.
