COMPOUND MITRE CUT
A compound mitre cut involves using a
mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same
time (Fig 21). It is used to make picture
frames, cut mouldings, make boxes with
sloping sides and roof framing. Always
test cut on a piece of scrap wood before
cutting into the final work piece.
1. Ensure the cutting head is raised. If the
head locking pin is locked in place, pull
the head locking pin and gently raise the
cutting head.
2. Set the desired mitre angle following
the steps in the 'adjusting the mitre angle'
section.
3. Set the bevel angle by following the
steps in the 'adjusting the bevel angle'
section.
4. Place the work piece flat on the rotating
mitre table with one edge securely against
the rear fence. If the work piece is warped,
ensure the convex side is against the rear
fence.
5. When cutting long pieces of timber,
support the opposite end of the timber with
the side support bars, a roller stand or a
work surface (bench) that is level with the
rotating mitre table.
6. Before turning the Mitre Saw on, perform
Warning:
Ensure the mitre table lock
knob is tight before making a cut. Failure
to do so may result in the rotating mitre
table moving during operation and
cause serious personal injury.
will cause the blade to become blunt and
cause the blade to lock-up.
8. Turn on the Mitre Saw, wait for the blade
to reach full speed and then lower the
cutting head whilst pushing the safety
guard release lever so the blade starts
cutting the work piece.
9. Release the on/off switch when the cut
is complete and allow the blade to stop
rotating before raising the cutting head.
