CROSS CUT
MITER CUT
TO MITER CUT/CROSS CUT
See Figures 24 - 25.
A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table
set at the 0° position. Miter cross cuts are made with the
miter table set at some angle other than zero.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the sliding miter fence
to ensure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
 Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
 Loosen the miter lock knob approximately one-half turn
and press the detent release button.
 Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero
on the miter scale.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°
left or right by releasing the detent release button as you
rotate the control arm. The control arm will seat itself in one
of the positive stop notches, located in the miter table base.
 Release the detent release button, then tighten the miter
lock knob to secure the miter table.
 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 32 - 33.
 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 30.
 Lower the blade and align the 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 work clamp, C-clamp, or other suitable
clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
 Before 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.
 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the trigger lockout
lever and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several sec-
onds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
 Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
 Release the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece and
removing the workpiece from the miter table.
