■ Recheck miter angle setting. Make a test cut in scrap
material.
■ 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
a board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut,
jamming the blade.
See Figures 32 and 33.
■ When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a
work surface level with the saw table.
See Figure 29.
■ Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw
blade.
■ Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to
secure the workpiece when possible.
See Figure 28.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always keep your hands
outside the no hands zone; at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) from
blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand
(without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade
could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
■ Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
■ Grasp the saw handle firmly then squeeze the switch
trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach
maximum speed.
■ Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
See Figures 28 and 29.
■ Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.
Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning
before removing the workpiece from miter table.
SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
See Figure 30.
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be
placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support
should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and
work table during the cutting operation. Use the optional
work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always keep your hands
outside the no hands zone; at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) from
blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand
(without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade
could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
