When cutting warped material, be certain
that the material to be cut is positioned on
the miter table with the convex side against
the fence (Fig.17a). If the warped material is
positioned the wrong way (Fig.17b), it will
pinch the blade near the end of the cut.

Base moldings and many other moldings
can be cut on a miter saw. The setup of
the saw depends on the base molding
characteristics and applications, as shown.
Perform practice cuts on scrap materials to
achieve best result.
1. Always make sure that the molding
rests firmly against the fence and table
(Fig.18). Use the work clamp provided or
use C-clamps (available separately), and
place tape on the area being clamped to
avoid marks on the workpiece.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut
area prior to making the cut. Mark the
cutting line directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due
to incorrect blade style, dull blade,
thinness of workpiece, or improperly
dried wood.
4. Place the workpiece flat on the miter
table with one edge securely against the
fence.
5. Align your pencil line with the straight
line from the worklight.
6. When cutting long workpieces, use
extension bars for extra support.
7. Carefully follow all instructions for
applicable miter, bevel or compound
cuts.
