Compound Cuts
•
A compound cut is a cut requiring both a miter setting and
a bevel setting.
•
Because it may take several tries to obtain the desired
compound angle, perform test cuts on scrap material
before making your cut.
Follow these instructions for making your
compound cut:
Be aware of the path of the saw blade.
Make a dry run with the saw OFF by
conducting a simulated cutting cycle, and observe the
projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6)
inches away from the projected path of the saw blade.
1.
Select the desired miter and bevel angles). (See Miter Cut
and Bevel Cut on pages 46 and 48.)
Before sawing, always check that there
is no interference between moving and
stationary parts of the saw.
Do not operate the saw in the
following range of miter and bevel combinations: Left miter
angles greater than 45° and bevel angles greater than 35°.
These miter and bevel combinations may result in interference
between the lower guard and the work piece clamp.
2.
Properly position workpiece. Make sure workpiece is
clamped firmly against the table and the fence.
3.
Make sure all controls are locked before cutting.
Always use clamp to hold workpiece
against the table and fence when making
compound miter cuts. Do not support by hand. Use clamping
position that does not interfere with operation. Before
switching on, lower head assembly to make sure clamp clears
guard and head assembly.
4.
Activate the switch. Lower the head assembly and make
your cut.
5.
Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before
returning head assembly to the raised position and/or
removing workpiece.
