COMPOUND CUT (FIG. 31)
A compound cut is the combination of a miter
and a bevel cut simultaneously.
●
Loosen the miter handle (1). Lift up the
positive stop locking lever (2) and position
the table at the desired angle. Release the
positive stop locking lever (2) and lock the
miter handle (1).
●
Loosen the bevel lock handle (3) and
position the cutting head at the desired bevel
position. Lock the bevel lock handle (3).
●
Turn the laser guide on and position the
workpiece on the table for pre-alignment of
your cut.
SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP TO 8 IN.
WIDE (FIG. 32)
CAUTION:
Always use a work clamp to
maintain control and reduce the risk of
workpiece damage and personal injury.
To avoid injury:
●
Let the blade reach full speed before
cutting. This will help reduce the risk of a
thrown workpiece.
●
Do not make crosscuts by lowering the blade
and pulling the saw head through the wood
toward you. The blade may try to climb
up on top of the workpiece, causing the
cutting assembly and spinning blade to kick
back forcefully.
To Slide Cut Wide Boards (Fig. 32)
●
Unlock the carriage lock knob (1) and allow
the cutting head assembly to move freely.
●
Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the
miter angle and lock into position.
●
Use a hold-down clamp (2) to secure the
workpiece (3).
●
Grasp and pull the switch handle (4) forward
until the center of the saw blade is over the
front of the workpiece (3).
●
Engage the trigger to turn the saw on.
●
When the saw reaches full speed, slowly
push the switch handle down, cutting through
the leading edge of the workpiece.
●
Slowly move the switch handle toward the
fence, completing the cut.
●
Release the trigger and allow the blade to
stop spinning before raising the cutting head
and removing the workpiece.
