TYPICAL OPERATIONS (Co,-,t,-,uod)
CUTTING MOULDINGS
You can cut 45 ° miter cuts on material and moldings
up to 2.3/8" thick, See Fig, 18. Instead of making
right and left hand 45 ° cuts for matching miters, or
cornering, simply make the 45 ° cut and for the mat.
ching face turn the work completely over and make
your cut with the saw at the same setting, Your miter
saw is also capable of cutting angles up to 47.1/20
to allow the operator to compensate for existing out
of square corners, Miters on material such as
baseboards that are wider than 2-3/8" should be cut
with the material lying flat on the saw table, The
miter cut can be made with the bevel post at 45 ° set,
ting and the miter arm at 0°, Refer to page 21 for pro-
per blades to be used with your materials.
CUTTING FRAMING MATERIALS
2 x 4 and 2 x 6 framing material as well as moldings
can be cut at all angle settings of the miter arm. it is
an ideal saw for squaring ends of framing material
where random lengths are being used, See Fig, 19.
NOTE: Care must be taken to properly support long
lengths of material during cutting to avoid possible
damage to the miter saw and/or serious injury to
operator. See page 21 for proper blade for your cut-
ting requirement.
CUTTING ROOF RAFTERS
With this saw it is possible to make compound angle
cuts using required settings cf both the miter arm
and the bevel post, See Fig, 20, Ends of roof rafters,
for joining with hip roof ridge and valley rafters, can
be readily cut to proper angles. With the material lay-
ing flat on the saw table and firmly against fences,
set the miter arm for the correct pitch angle and the
bevel post for the correct intersect angle, The
resulting cut will give an excellent fitting rafter end,
NOTE: After cut is completed, release the switch
trigger, depress the brake button to stop rotation of
blade, Then remove the material from the saw table
before returning saw head to rear position. This
prevents the blade guard from binding on the
material when returning saw head to rear position,
Again care should be used to properly support long
lengths of material, See Fig, 17, NOTE: Table exten.
sion and clamp are not used when making this cut,
WARNING: Keep hands clear of cutting area.
