APPLICATIONS

Only use your compound miter saw for the purposes listed below:

• Crosscutting wood and plastic

• Crosscutting miters, joints, etc., for picture frames,

moldings, door casings, and fine joinery

NOTE: The blade included with this saw is ideal for a wide variety of wood

cutting operations. However, for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, we

recommend using one of the accessory blades sold separately at your

local Sears Store.

I /KWARNING: BEFORE starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt I

your compound miter saw to a work bench. NEVER operate your miter saw

on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning could

result in serious personal injury.

CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND MITER SAW

/_WARNING: When using a hold-down clamp or C-clamp to secure the

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 the workpiece. The workpiece binding the blade will cause the motor to stall

and cause kickback, resulting in possible serious personal injury.

CROSSCUTTING (See Figure 22)

A crosscut is a cut made

across the grain of the workpiece.

A straight crosscut is a cut made

with the miter table set in the 0°

position. Miter crosscuts are

made with the miter table set

at some angle other than zero.
