Basic Saw Operations (continued)
Compound Cut
When a compound cut is required, select the correct
bevel and miter position. Move your feet and body with
the handle to the desired miter angle to make the cut.
Cutting Bowed Material
Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it is not
bowed. If it is bowed the workpiece must be positioned
and cut as illustrated. Do not position workpiece incor-
rectly or try to cut the workpiece without the support of
the fence. This will cause pinching of the workpiece on
the blade. The workpiece could suddenly jump or move
and your hand could hit the blade.
