LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE SLIDING RAIL (FIG 25)
Turning the Sliding Rail Lock (1) clockwise will lock the rail (2)
and keep it from traveling forward or backwards. Turning the
lock counter-clockwise will loosen the sliding rail lock, permitting
travel of the saw head and the rail system.
CUTTING WITH A SLIDING MITER SAW
(FIG 26)
When cutting material that does not require the sliding rail
system, lock the cutting head in the rear-most position and cut
the material by simply applying downward pressure on the
D-Handle.
The sliding miter saw has much greater cutting capacities than a
conventional miter saw. It is also used a little differently. The FIG
26 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 13-3/8".
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:
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:
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.
WArNINg:
machine's "Hazard Zone", clamp the workpiece in place and move your hand(s) to a
safe position before making the cut.
Regardless of the type of cut being performed with your compound miter saw the following basic set-up steps
are used, unless specified otherwise.
1. Check and confirm the cutting arm (bevel position) and the rotating table (miter position) are at the correct
settings and the related adjustment handles are firmly locked in place.
2. Mark the position of desired cut onto the workpiece surface to ensure proper blade and laser alignment.
3. Place the workpiece on the saw table, align the blade and/or laser light with the cut line, then position it
firmly against the fence and hold or clamp it firmly in place. If using a hand to hold the workpiece in place,
be sure it is outside the "Hazard Zone". Never attempt freehand cutting or cutting a workpiece not firmly
held against the fence or table!
4. Turn on the saw, allowing the blade to reach full speed. Lower the cutting head slowly into the workpiece
and perform the cut at a steady rate.
5. When the cut is completed, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to completely stop rotating
before raising the blade and cutting head out of the completed cut.

Always be sure the miter saw is disconnected from the power
Be sure the miter saw is securely bolted down or clamped to a
