CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
WARNING Never pull the saw toward
you during a cut. The blade can
suddenly climb up on top of the work
piece and force itself toward you.
WARNING Failure to unplug the saw
could result in accidental start up,
which may cause serious injury.
WARNING Use a clamping position
that does not interfere with the cutting
operation.
WARNING To avoid kickback and
serious personal injury, never position
the concave side of bowed or warped
material against the fence.
When cutting warped material, be certain
that the material to be cut is positioned on
the miter table with the convex side
against the fence (Fig. 31). If the warped
material is positioned the wrong way, it will
pinch the blade near the end of the cut
(Fig. 32).
CUTTING GROOVES
The depth-stop adjustment is a feature for
cutting grooves in the work piece. A
groove should be cut as a slide cut.
WARNING Never pull the saw toward
you during a cut. The blade can
suddenly climb up on top of the work
piece and force itself toward you.
WARNING Failure to unplug the saw
could result in accidental start up,
which may cause serious injury.
WARNING Use a clamping position
that does not interfere with the cutting
operation.
WARNING To avoid serious personal
injury, always tighten the bevel-lock
lever and miter-lock lever securely
before making a cut. Failure to do so
could cause serious injury.
NOTE: This tool has multi-slide bar
of two sections. Each section can be
locked/ unlocked by its own locking
knob.
Step 1: Unplug the saw.
Step 2: Loosen the lock nut, rotate the
depth stop adjustment bolt to the desired
cutting depth, and retighten the lock nut.
Step 3: Place a proper spacer between the
work piece and the fence.
Step 4: Plug the saw into a power source.
Step 5: Cut the two outside edges of the
groove.
Step 6: To create the groove, use a wood
chisel or make multiple passes with a
router to remove the material between the
outside edges (Fig. 33).
CUTTING BASE MOLDING
Base moldings and many other moldings
can be cut on a miter saw. The setup of
the saw depends on the base molding
characteristics and applications. Perform
practice cuts on scrap materials to achieve
the best result.
WARNING Failure to unplug the saw
could result in accidental start up,
which may cause serious injury.
WARNING To avoid serious personal
injury, always tighten the bevel-lock
lever or miter-lock lever securely before
making a cut. Failure to do so could
cause serious injury.
WARNING Always use the work
piece clamp, and place tape on the area
being clamped to avoid marks on the
work piece.
Step 1: Unplug the saw.
Step 2: Always make sure that the molding
rests firmly against the fence (bevel 0°)
and table (miter 0°). Use the work piece
clamp provided or use C-clamps (not
supplied), and place tape on the area
being clamped to avoid marks on the work
piece (Fig. 34).
Step 3: Tilt the saw head to desired bevel
angle and turn the miter table to desired
angle.
