If the saw arm cannot reach a full 45° position, the 45° bevel
positioning allen screw will have to be reset (Fig 18) so that
when the saw arm is moved to the 45° bevel position the allen
screw bottoms out. Check 45° angle with a 45° set square
(Fig 19) from the table to the blade. If the table and blade do
not align, readjust the 45° positioning screw (Fig 20) so that it
bottoms out at 45° and realign the bevel indication pointer
correctly (Fig 21)

APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purposes listed below)
• Cross Cutting wood & plastics
• Cross Cutting mitres, joints, etc. for picture frames,
moldings, door casings and fine joinery.
NOTE:
The crosscut blade provided is for most wood cutting
operations. For fine joinery and picture frame cuts or cutting
plastic, use a blade suitable, available from your nearest
hardware store.
■
CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND MITRE
SAW
■
CROSSCUTTING
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90° crosscut is made with the mitre table set at
the zero degree position. Mitre crosscuts are made with the
mitre table set at some other angle other than zero.
■
TO CROSSCUT WITH YOUR MITRE SAW
• Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw arm to its full
height.
• Unlock the mitre table.
• Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns with
the desired angle on the mitre scale.
• Lock the mitre table handle.
NOTE:
You can quickly locate 5° increments left or right on the
scale. The mitre table can be seated in one of the positive stop
notches, located in the mitre table frame.
• Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the
convex side against the fence and clamp. If the concave
edge of a board is placed against the fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the
blade. (Fig 22)

WARNING: Before starting any cutting
operations, clamp or bolt your compound mitre
saw to a workbench. Never operate your mitre
saw on the floor or in a crouched position.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury
OPERATIONS
WARNING: Use a clamp to secure your
workpiece on one side of the blade only. The
workpiece must remain free on one side of the
blade to prevent the blade from binding in
workpiece. The workpiece binding blade will
cause motor stalling and kickback. This
situation could cause an accident resulting in
serious personal injury.
