CUTTING A SLOT IN THE ZERO CLEARANCE
THROAT PLATE
In order to use your compound miter saw, you must cut
a slot through the zero clearance throat plate to allow for
blade clearance. To cut the slot, set your saw at 0
°
miter,
turn saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed, then
carefully make a straight cut as far as it will go through the
throat plate. Turn your saw off and allow the blade to come
to a complete stop before raising the saw arm.
Next, adjust the bevel angle to 45°, turn your saw on and allow
the blade to reach full speed, then carefully make another
cut through the zero clearance throat plate. The slot in the
throat plate will then be wide enough to allow the blade to
pass through it at any angle from 0° to 45°.
