Miter cutting 6-3/4" (171mm) base boards – This
saw can miter cut 6-3/4" (171mm) tall base boards
vertically positioned against the fence at any angle from
0° to 52°. All angled cuts must be made with the base
board placed on the left side of the table. For certain
cuts, the base board will have to be flipped upside down
or placed with the face side against the fence. Always
use a C-clamp to hold the base board to the fence
before making cuts. NOTE: For cutting standard base
board up to 3-7/8" (100mm) tall, no special placement
is required and it can be miter cut at any angle left or
right.
SETTING SAW TO MAKE A MITER CUT
1.
See Using Miter Detent on page 41.
2.
Loosen the miter lock knob 12. Lift miter detent
lever 13 and move the saw to the desired angle,
using either the detents 17 or the miter scale 15.
Tighten miter lock knob (see Fig. 47).
3.
Extend the base extensions 22 and fence on the side
on which the cut will be made (see Workpiece Sup-
port on page 38).
4.
Properly position workpiece. Make sure workpiece
is clamped firmly against the table or the fence.
Use a clamping position that
does not interfere with oper-
ation. Before switching "ON" saw, lower saw head to
make sure the clamp clears guard and head assem-
bly.
5.
Follow procedures for either chop cut or slide cut
(see pages 42–43).
6.
Wait until saw blade comes to a complete stop
before returning head to the raised position and
then remove workpiece.
