MAKING A COMPOUND (BEVEL) MITER CUT
See Figure 42.
It is recommended that you place the piece to be saved on
the left side of the blade and that you make a test cut on
scrap wood.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed
and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking lever.
Unlock the bevel locking lever and move height/bevel
adjusting handwheel until bevel indicator is at desired
angle.
Push the bevel locking lever toward the table to relock
it.
Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
Set the miter gauge to desired angle and tighten the lock
knob.
Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
ON the saw.
Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands and feed the
workpiece into the blade.
NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be placed
on the miter gauge lock knob and the hand farthest from
the blade should be placed on the workpiece.
Advance the workpiece and the miter gauge toward the
blade. Keep the workpiece flush against the miter gauge.
Stand slightly to the side of the wood as it contacts the
blade to reduce the chance of injury should kickback
occur.
When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing any
part of the workpiece.
After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff
stock.
MAKING A LARGE PANEL CUT
See Figure 43.
Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface to
avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed
and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
Place a support the same height as the top of the saw
table behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports to
the sides as needed.
Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence
or miter gauge. If the panel is too large to use either the
rip fence or the miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.
WARNING:
Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter
gauge or rip fence). Such a cut increases the risk
of kickback and can result in serious injury.
Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
on the saw.
Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
Hold the workpiece firmly and feed the workpiece into
the blade.
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop before removing any part of
the workpiece.
After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff
stock.
