OPERATION
WORKPIECE SUPPORT (FIG. MM)
Long pieces need extra support. The support should be
placed under the workpiece.
Keep your hand holding the
workpiece positioned
7-1/2 inches or more
away from the blade.
The support must let
the workpiece lay flat
on the work table
during the cutting
operation.
NOTE: When
mounted on a flat
surface, the saw
table is 3-1/2
inches high.
3-1/2 in.
SUPPORT BASE AS EXTENSION TABLE (FIG. NN)
WARNING
Before using, make sure the height of the
saw table matches the height of the support base.
1. Place the miter saw and support
base (1) on a flat, stable surface
with the support base on the
side of the miter saw where
the support is needed.
2. Adjust the position of the
support base according
to the length of the
workpiece to provide
extra support.

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. OO)
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in cut-off
pieces of one inch or less, it is possible for the saw blade to
catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of the saw or into the
blade guard and housing, possibly causing damage or injury.
To minimize this, an auxiliary wood fence can be mounted to
your saw.
Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an auxiliary
wood fence. This fence is to be constructed of straight wood
approximately 3/4 in. thick by 2-1/2 in. high by 22 in. long.
Attach the wood fence securely and make a full depth cut to
make a blade slot.
Check for interference between the wood fence and the lower
blade guard. Adjust if necessary.
NOTE: This auxiliary
fence is used only with
the saw blade in the 0°
bevel position (90° to
the table). The
Fig. MM
auxiliary wood fence
must be removed
when bevel cutting.
CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG. PP)
Base moldings and many other moldings can be cut on a
compound miter saw. The setup of the saw depends on
molding characteristics and application, as shown. Perform
practice cuts on scrap material to achieve best results:
1. Always make sure moldings rest firmly against fence and
table. Use hold-down, crown molding vice or C-clamps,
Fig. NN
whenever possible, and place tape on the area being
clamped to avoid marks.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to making
the cut. Mark the cut line directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to an incorrect blade
application and thinness of the material.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING (FIG. QQ, RR)
Your compound miter saw is suited for the difficult task of
cutting crown molding. To fit properly, crown molding must be
compoundmitered with extreme accuracy. The two surfaces on
a piece of crown molding that fit flat against the ceiling and wall
are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly 90°.
Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that fits
flat against the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle (the
section that fits flat against the wall) of 38°.
In order to accurately cut crown molding for a 90° inside or
outside corner, lay the molding with its broad back surface
flat on the saw table.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound
miters, remember that the settings are interdependent.
