▶ Miter Cuts
Miter cutting 5-1/2" base boards
– This saw
can miter cut 5-1/2" tall base boards vertically
positioned against the fence at any angle
from 0° to 52°. All angled cuts must be made
with the base board placed on the left side of
the table. For certain cuts, the base board
will have to be flipped upside down or placed
with the face side against the fence. Always
use a C-clamp to hold the base board to the
fence before making cuts. NOTE: For cutting
standard base board up to 3-1/4" tall, no
special placement is required and it can be
miter cut at any angle left or right.

▼ SETTING SAW TO MAKE A MITER CUT
1.
See Using Miter Detent on page 38.
2.
Loosen the miter lock knob. Lift miter
detent lever and move the saw to the
desired angle, using either the detents or
the miter scale. Tighten miter lock knob
(see Figure 47).
3.
Properly position workpiece. Make sure
workpiece is clamped firmly against the
table or the fence.
Use a clamping position
that does not interfere
with operation. Before switching “ON” saw,
lower saw head to make sure the clamp
clears guard and head assembly.
4.
Follow procedures for either chop cut or
slide cut (see pages 39–40).
5.
Wait until saw blade comes to a complete
stop before returning head to the raised
position and then remove workpiece.
