OPERATION
14. Release the safety lock and the trigger
switch, and turn the laser switch off.
Allow the saw blade to stop rotating
before raising the blade out of the work
piece.
Always perform a
“dry-run” cut to determine whether the
operation being attempted is possible
before power is applied to the Miter Saw.
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
(FIG. 29)
A compound miter cut is a cut made using
a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same
time. This type of cut is used for decorative
moldings, picture frames, and other ne
joinery. To make this type of cut, the
miter table must be rotated to the correct
miter angle and the saw arm must be
tilted to the correct bevel angle.
Always take special care when making
compound miter cuts, due to the interaction
of the two angle settings.
Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are
interdependent. Whenever the miter setting
is adjusted, the effect of the bevel setting
also changes. Whenever the bevel setting is
adjusted, the effect of the miter setting
is changed.
CAUTION:
FIG. 29
It may take several settings to obtain the
desired cut. The rst angle setting should
be checked after setting the second angle,
because adjusting the second angle affects
the rst.
Once the two correct settings for a
particular cut have been obtained, always
make a test cut in scrap material before
making a nish cut in good material.
Compound Miter Cut with the Miter Saw:
1. Unplug the saw.
Failure to unplug the
saw could result in accidental startup,
which may cause serious injury.
2. Mark the cutting line on the work piece
with a pencil.
3. Pull out the locking pin to release the
saw arm.
4. Loosen the miter locking knob, and lift
the miter-detent locking lever; rotate
the miter table to desired miter angle.
5. Quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and
45° left or right by the stops or clicks
at these angle settings.
6. When the desired miter table setting is
achieved, tighten the miter locking knob.
To avoid serious
personal injury, always tighten the miter
locking knob securely before making a
cut. Failure to do so could result in
movement of the control arm or miter
table while making a cut.
7. To set the bevel angle, loosen the bevel
locking lever by rotating it and tilt
the saw arm to the desired bevel angle,
as shown on the bevel scale. Bevel
angles can be set from 0° to 48º left.
8. When the saw arm has been set at the
desired angle, tighten the bevel locking
lever securely.
9. Plug the saw into an electrical socket.
