GLOSSARY OF TERMS
AMPERAGE (AMPS) – A measure of the flow of electric
current. Higher ratings generally means the tool is suited for
heavier use.
ARBOR LOCK – Allows the user to keep the blade from
rotating while tightening or loosening the arbor bolt during
blade replacement or removal.
BASE – Supports the table, holds accessories and allows for
workbench or leg set mounting.
BEVEL LOCKING HANDLE – Locks the miter saw at a
desired bevel angle.
BEVEL SCALE – To measure the bevel angle of the saw blade
0° to 45° left.
CARBIdE TIPPED – Extremely hard steel pieces with sharp
cutting edges fastened to cutting tools such as saw blades.
COVER PLATE SCREW – Loosen this screw and rotate the
plate for access to the blade arbor bolt.
DOUBLE-INSULATED – A form of electrical protection
featuring two separate insulation systems to help protect
against electrical shock.
EXTENSION CORD – AN electric cord used between power
tools and outlets to extend the range of the tools. The more
amerage your tool uses, the longer the distance, the larger
the size of the wire needed in your extension cord.
EYE PROTECTION – Googles or spectacles intended to
protect your eyes. Eye protection should meet the require -
ments of ANSI Z.87.1 (USA) or CSA Z94.3-M88 (Canada).
FACE SHIELD – An impact resistant shield that helps to
protect your face from chips, sparks, small debris. Should
only be used in conjunction with additional eye protection.
FENCE – Helps to keep the workpiece from moving when
sawing. Scaled to assist with accurate cutting.
GUARD – Protective devise that forms a barrier between a
hazardous object such as a blade, wheel or cutter and the
operator.
HOLD DOWN LATCH – Locks the miter saw in the lowered
position for compact storage and transportation.
INSTRUCTION OR OWNER’S MANUAL – Booklet
accompanying your power tool that describes the hazards and
safe operation procedures, outlines basic tool operation, care
and maintenance.
mITER HANDLE – Used to rotate the table, and to rotate the
saw to a right or left cutting position.
mITER SCALE – Measures the miter angle 0° to 50° left and
right.
MOUNTING HOLES – To mount the miter saw to a stable
surface.
ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH – To start the tool, squeeze the
trigger. Release the trigger to turn off the miter saw.
POSITIVE STOP LOCKING LEVER – Locks the miter saw at
a preset positive stop for the desired miter angle.
SWITCH HANDLE – The switch handle contains the trigger
switch and the laser on/off switch. The blade is lowered into
the workpiece by pushing down on the handle. The saw will
return to its upright position when the handle is released.
WARNING LABELS – Read and understand for your own
safety. Make sure all labels are present on machine and
legible.
WRENCH STORAGE – Convenient storage to prevent
misplacing the blade wrench.
WOODWORKING TERMS
ARBOR – The shaft on which a blade is mounted.
BEVEL CUT – An angle cut made through the face of the
workpiece.
COMPOUND CUT – An angled cut to both the edge and face
of a board, most common use is with crown molding.
CROSS CUT – A cut which runs across the board
perpendicular to the grain.
FREEHANd – Performing a cut without using a fence (guide),
hold down or other proper device to prevent the workpiece
from twisting during the cutting operation.
HEEL – Misalignment of the blade.
KERF – The width of a saw cut, determined by the thickness
and set of the blade.
KICKBACK – sudden and unintended movement of the tool
or workpiece. It is typically caused by binding or pinching of
the workpiece.
mITER CUT – A miter is a type of joint where the two parts to
be joined are cut at an angle, and typically the finished joint
forms a 90-degree angle. Also commonly spelled “mitre”.
REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPM) – The number of turns
completed by a spinning object in one minute.
SAW BLADE PATH – The area of the workpiece or table top
directly in line with the travel of the blade or the part of the
workpiece which will be cut.
SET – The distance between two saw blade tips, bent outward
in opposite directions to each other. The further apart the tips
are, the greater the set.
THIN-KERF BLADE – Thinner than normal blades, remove
less material, smaller kerfs (between .065 and .070). Blade
thinness also may increase the heat generated while cutting.
WORKPIECE – The wood being cut. The surfaces of a
workpiece are commonly referred to as faces, ends and
edges.
