OPERATION
MAKING A COMPOUND (BEVEL) MITER CUT
See Figure 65.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed
and working properly to avoid possible serious
injury.
WARNING:
The miter gauge must be on the right side of the
blade to avoid trapping the wood and causing
kickback. Placement of the miter gauge to the
left of the blade will result in kickback and the
risk of serious personal injury.
 Remove the rip fence.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob.
 Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting.
 Tighten the bevel lock knob.
 Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
 Set the miter gauge to the desired angle and tighten the
lock knob.
 Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
on the saw.
 Turn the saw on.
 Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
 Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands on the miter
gauge and feed the workpiece into the blade.
NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be placed
on the miter gauge lock knob and the hand farthest from
the blade should be placed on the workpiece.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
MAKING A LARGE PANEL CUT
See Figure 66.
Make sure the saw is properly secured and the leg stand is
lowered (feet on the floor) to avoid tipping from the weight
of a large panel.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed
and working properly to avoid possible serious
injury.
WARNING:
Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter
gauge or rip fence), which can result in serious
injury.

SUPPORTS
 Install feather board in the appropriate position for the
cut being made.
 Place a support the same height as the top of the saw
table behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports to
the sides as needed.
 Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence
or miter gauge. If the panel is too large to use either the
rip fence or the miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.
 Make sure the wood does not touch the blade before you
turn on the saw.
 Turn the saw on.
 Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full
speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.
 Use a push stick and/or push blocks to move the piece
through the cut and past the blade.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
