OPERATION
TO MITER CUT/CROSS CUT
See Figures 31 - 32.
A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table
set at the 0 position. Miter cross cuts are made with the
°
miter table set at some angle other than 0
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the sliding miter fence
to ensure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
 Slide the saw head to its most rearward position and
tighten the slide lock knob securely.
 Raise saw arm to its full height.
 Lift the miter lock lever, then press the miter detent bypass
in all the way.
 Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°,
60° and 67.5° left or right by pressing the miter detent
bypass button halfway as you rotate the control arm. The
control arm will seat itself in one of the indexed stops,
located in the miter table base.
 Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.
 Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place
the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge
of a board is placed against the fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the
blade. See Figures 51 and 52.
 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 39.
 Turn the LED switch on.
 Lower the blade and align the cutting line on the
workpiece with the edge of saw blade or the blade
shadow.
 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the work clamp, C-clamp, or other suitable
clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut-
ting operation to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the trigger lockout
lever and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several sec-
onds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

 Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
 Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece
and removing the workpiece from the miter table.
