OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
25. Cutting Warped Material
WARNING
• 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 show. If
the warped material is positioned the wrong way, it
will pinch the blade near the end of the cut.
26. Cutting Base Molding
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
the best result.
a. Always make sure that the molding rests firmly
against the fence and table. Use the work
clamp provided or use C-clamps (not supplied),
and place tape on the area being clamped to
avoid marks on the work piece.
b. Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior
to making the cut. Mark the cutting line directly
on the tape. Splintering typically happens due
to incorrect blade style, dull blade, thinness of
work piece, or improperly dried wood.
NOTE: Always perform a dry-run cut so you can
determine if the operation being attempted is
possible before power is applied to miter saw.
c. Use the LED switch (C) to turn on the LED and
a align your pencil line with the LED shadow
line.
d. Use extra support when cutting long work
pieces.
e. Carefully follow all instructions for applicable
miter, bevel, or compound cuts.
