MITRE CUT
(Fig. 15)
•
When a mitre cut is required, unlock the table by
turning the mitre handle (1) counterclockwise.
•
While holding the mitre handle, push down on the
positive stop locking lever (2).
•
Rotate the table to the right or left with the mitre
handle.
•
When the table is in the desired position, as shown
on the mitre scale (3), release the positive stop
locking lever and tighten the mitre handle. The table
is now locked at the desired angle. Positive stops are
provided at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45°.
BEVEL CUT
(Fig. 16)
•
When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel lock
knob (1) by turning it clockwise.
•
Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle, as shown
on the bevel scale (2).
•
The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a
90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45° left bevel.
Tighten the bevel lock knob to lock the cutting head in
position. Positive stops are provided at 0° and 45°.
COMPOUND CUT
(Fig. 17)
A compound cut is the combination of a mitre and a bevel
cut simultaneously.
•
Loosen the bevel lock knob (1) and position the
cutting head at the desired bevel position. Lock the
bevel lock knob.
•
Loosen the mitre handle (2). Push down the positive
stop locking lever (3) and position the table at the
desired angle. Release the positive stop locking lever
and lock the mitre handle.

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
(Fig. 18)
When cutting warped material, be sure that the convex side
is against the fence. If the workpiece is placed with the
concave side facing the fence, it will pinch the blade near
the completion of the cutting.
AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE
(Fig. 19)
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in
cut-off pieces of 1” (2.5 cm) or less, it is possible for the
saw blade to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of the
saw or into the blade guard and housing, possibly causing
damage or injury. To minimize this, an auxiliary wood fence
can be mounted to your saw. Holes are provided in the
saw fence to attach an auxiliary wood fence (this provides
additional depth of cut). This fence should be constructed
of straight auxiliary wood approximately 3/4” (1.9 cm) thick
by 1 1/2” (3.8 cm) high by 17” (43.2 cm) long. Attach the
wood fence securely and make a full depth cut to make a
blade slot. Check for interference between the wood fence
and the lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary.
CUTTING BASE MOULDING
(Fig. 20)
base mouldings and many other mouldings can be cut on
a compound mitre saw. The setup of the saw depends
on moulding characteristics and applications, as shown.
Perform practice cuts on scrap material to
achieve best
results:
•
Always make sure mouldings rest firmly against
the fence and table. Use hold-down or C-clamps,
whenever possible, and place tape on the area being
clamped to avoid marks.

TING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce the risk of workpiece damage and
personal injury.
