OPERATION
TO MAKE EXTENDED MITER CUTS
See Figures 33 - 35.
The extended miter capacity of the saw allows you to make
miter cuts up to 70 . Using the miter extension tables, you
°
can cut 22.5° miters for acute 45° corners.
The rotating extension tables can be set to one of three
positions, depending on the desired type of cut.
Use the rotating extension tables when making miter cuts
greater than 45°.
 Slide the saw head to its most rearward position and
tighten the slide lock knob securely.
 Raise saw arm to its full height.
 Slide out the fence on the side opposite of where the cut
will be made. This ensures that the bevel lock bracket
will not bump against the fence when setting the blade
for extended miter cuts.
 To rotate the extension tables outward, press the table
lock button and select one of the preset positions.
 Release the table lock button and move the table until it
locks into position.
 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.
 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.
WARNING:
For extended miter cuts, place the clamp on the
large miter angle side of the table. Clamping or
holding the workpiece on the small miter angle side
of the table may place your hand too close to the
blade and cause serious personal injury.
 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.
