What's a Chop Cut – Saw features
A "chop cut" is a cross-cut made when the saw is
held to the rearmost position and is operated like
a conventional (non-sliding) miter saw. Using the
chop cut method lowers the cross-cutting
capacity; however, many users prefer using this
method because it is quicker when making repeat
cuts. This method can also produce more
accurate cuts because the saw head is locked in
the retracted position.
This saw has bevel angle stops that accurately
stop at critical angles: 45° Left/Right and 0° Right.
It comes factory-set and should not require
adjustment. However, after extensive use or if the
tool has received a hard impact, it may require an
adjustment.
A chop cut can cut pieces with a width of 5-1/2" or
less
preparing for Chop Cut

over the fence to the rear.
2. Engage the mechanism lock lever (item 27 – page

mechanism movement is stopped.
3. Properly position your workpiece and clamp it
firmly to the table and/or fence.
WARNING
Before switching "ON," lower head assembly to
make sure clamp clears guard and head
assembly.
