Making a Diagonal Cut
Diagonal cuts are also referred to as “long point-to-long
point cuts”.
• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
• Adjust miter guide to 45° using angle scale and tighten
securely with lock knob.
• Place the material on the table and firmly against the
sliding table fence.
• Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
• Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
• Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
• Hold the material firmly against the sliding table fence and
feed the material into the cutting wheel.
• When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing
any part of the material.
Making a Miter Cut
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners
on material, decorative chair rail, and base moulding with
the material at any angle to the wheel other than 90°. Miter
cuts tend to “creep” during cutting. This can be controlled
by holding the workpiece securely against the miter guide.
• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
• Set the miter guide to the desired setting, lock in place,
and tighten the lock knob.
• Place the material on the table and firmly against the miter
guide and fence.
• Make sure the material is clear of cutting wheel before
turning on the saw.
• Turn the on/off switch to ON position.
• Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
• Hold the material firmly against the miter guide and feed
the material into cutting wheel.
• When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing
any part of the material.
