To Make a Compound Miter Cut with your Miter Saw
1. Unplug the saw.
WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting
causing serious injury.
2. Release the saw arm by pulling out the locking pin.
3. Raise miter lock lever and pressing the detent locking knob to loosen the
miter table.
4. Hold the base of the saw arm firmly and rotate the miter table on the miter
lock lever by pressing the detent locking knob while holding the saw base
steady.
5. You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° left or right by the stops
or clicks, located and/or color coded at the above angle settings.
6. Once you have the miter table setting you want, tighten the miter lock lever
by pressing it down.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, ALWAYS tighten the miter
lock lever securely BEFORE making a cut. Failure to do so could result in
movement of the control arm or miter table while making a cut.
7. To set the bevel angle, loosen the bevel lock knob (Fig. 1a), turn
counterclockwise, pulling the 0°stop bolt out.
8. Tilt the saw arm to the desired bevel angle as shown on the bevel scale.
Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 48° left and right bevel.
9. Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the
bevel lock knob.
10. 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 the board is against the fence, the
board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut and jam the blade
(Figs. 19, 20).
11. Align your pencil line in the middle of the dual “red laser lines”.
12. Use the hold down clamp to secure workpiece against saw table and
fence.
13. When cutting long workpieces, pull out extension wing for extra support
for the long workpieces. (Fig. 14a)
CAUTION: NEVER use another person as an additional support for a work-
piece that is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to help feed, sup-
port, or pull the workpiece.
