OPERATION
A groove should be cut as a slide cut.
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Rotate the depth-stop lever out as
shown in Fig. 33.
3. Loosen the lock nut, rotate the depth
stop bolt to the desired cutting depth,
and retighten the locking nut.
4. Plug the saw into an electrical socket.
5. Cut the two outside edges of the
groove.
6. To create the groove, use a wood chisel
or make multiple passes with the router
to remove the material between the
outside edges.
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
(FIG. 34-35)
FIG. 34
FIG. 35
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, as shown (Fig. 34). If the warped
material is positioned the wrong way
(Fig. 35), it will pinch the blade near the end
of the cut.
CUTTING BASE MOLDING
(FIG. 36)
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, as shown.
Perform practice cuts on scrap materials
to achieve best result.
1. Always make sure that the molding rests
rmly against the fence and table
(Fig. 36). Use the hold-down clamp
provided or use C-clamps (available
separately), and place tape on the area
being clamped to avoid marks on the
work piece.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut
area prior to making the cut. Mark the
cutting line directly on the tape.
