CAUTION:
Always tighten the miter lock handle to secure the miter table in position
before cutting with the miter saw.
POINTER AND SCALE (FIG 19)
An arrow shaped pointer (3) is located at the front end of the miter table. Each line on the miter scale (4) represents
1°. When the miter table is rotated, the pointer is moved from one line to the next along the miter scale, changing
the angle of cut by one degree.
TILTING THE CUTTING HEAD FOR BEVEL
CUTTING (FIG 20)
Your compound miter saw is equipped with a cutting head that can
be tilted to cut any bevel angle from a 90° straight vertical cut to
a 45° left bevel angle cut.
To bevel the cutting head, loosen the bevel lock handle (1) at the
rear of the miter saw, tilt the cutting arm left to the desired angle,
and then tighten the lock handle.
Each line on the bevel scale (3) represents one degree of
movement. The angle setting is indicated by a stationary red
pointer (2) and the bevel angle position of the cutting arm is
determined by the position of the red pointer to a line on the bevel
scale.
Positive stops are provided at 0°, 45° LEFT for quick adjustments.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE SLIDING
RAIL (FIG 21)
Turning the Sliding Rail Lock Knob (1) clockwise will lock the
rail (2) and keep it from traveling forward or backward. Turning
the lock knob counterclockwise will loosen the sliding rail lock,
permitting travel of the saw head and the rail system.
CUTTING WITH A SLIDING MITER SAW
(FIG 22)
The sliding miter saw has much greater cutting capacities than a
conventional miter saw. It is also used a little differently. The FIG
22 shows the proper way to cut using the sliding rail.
Position "a" shows the saw head in the back position. If cutting small, narrow stock, the user needs only to push
down on the cutting head with the saw running to cut the piece.
Position "b" now shows the saw head in the most forward position. This is the starting position for cutting wide
stock up to 12".
With the saw running and the blade at full speed, Push the saw head down into the material slowly and steadily
as shown in position "c"
Once the saw has cut through the initial thickness of the material, steadily push the saw head away from you
while the saw is still cutting to complete the cut as show in position "d".
APPLICATION
TYPICAL COMPOUND MITER SAW OPERATIONS
WARNING:
Always be sure the miter saw is disconnected from the power source
before making any adjustments or during set-up prior to cutting. Failure to disconnect or
unplug the machine may cause accidental starting, resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Be sure the miter saw is securely bolted down or clamped to a
workbench or appropriate work surface before performing any cutting operations. Failure
to do so may result in loss of machine control and/or result in personal injury.
