Making a cut
MitEr SaWS caN QuicKLy aMputatE FiNGErS iF MiSuSED.
Keep hands well clear of cutting area.
1.
Observe all safety and planning items
discussed in this manual. Detailed instructions
on each of the following steps are discussed
in this manual. Do not make any cuts until
you have read this entire manual and are
familiar with the operation of this tool.
2.
Release the Locking Pin to allow the Saw Head
Assembly to come up. Check to be sure the
Table is fixed in place at the desired miter angle.
3.
Blow any sawdust or debris away from the Fence.
Place the work material against the Fence.
4.
Make any necessary miter or bevel adjustments.
5.
Align the marked location of the cut on the work
material with the Saw Blade. Be aware that the
Saw Blade will remove material from the cut equal
to the width of the Blade. This is the “kerf”.
Note:
To prevent your work piece from being cut too
short, align the edge of the Blade with your measured
mark, keeping the kerf on the waste side of the cut.
6.
Hold the work material in place using the
Hold Down Vise. Ensure that the work
material is level and supported securely.
Use saw horses or supports if necessary.
7.
Grip the Saw Handle and squeeze the
Trigger to start the Blade turning.
8.
With narrow material, press down lightly to
cut the workpiece. Press straight down,
“chopping” the material. Do not bear down on
the material — use light downward pressure.
If the material binds the blade, release the Trigger.
9.
With wide material, move the Blade across
the workpiece while cutting as follows:
a. Loosen Slide Lock and pull Saw
Head Assembly forward.
b. Press down on the Saw Handle.
c. Push the Saw Head toward the rear to
make the cut. Refer to Figure B.
Do not bear down on the material — use
light downward and lateral pressure. If the
material binds the blade, release the Trigger.

disconnect its power supply after use. Clean,
then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
