WARNING
moving and stationary parts of the saw. Do not
operate the saw in the following range of miter
and bevel combinations: left Bevel 45° to 47°
plUS Right Miter 46° to 55°. These miter and bevel
combinations may result in interference between the
sliding and stationary parts of the saw or between the
sliding parts and the work piece.
What's a Compound Cut – Saw features
•
A "compound cut" is a single cross-cut made with
the saw blade preset at two angles combining a
miter angle (relative to the vertical fence) with a
bevel angle (relative to the horizontal table).
•
Miter angles will be with the table rotated away
from 0° and within this saw's range from 52° left
to 60° right.
•
A bevel angle is when the blade is tilted away
from 0°. This saw's range is from 47° left to 47°
right. NOTE: If the bevel detent pin automatically
engages at 31.6° and prevents tilting the saw to
another angle, simply pull it to the front and
rotate its cross pin 1/4 turn so it rests in the
disengaged position. If pin is sticking in, tilt and
rock saw head side to side as you pull on it.
•
A compound cut can be made as a chop cut or a
slide cut.
•
Cutting crown molding flat on the table requires
compound cuts. See Cutting Crown Molding
section on page 45.
•
When performing compound cuts it will be
necessary to move the sliding fence away from
the blade. Some compound cuts may require the
removal of the fence, refer to page 29.
Saw Operations
Compound Cuts
for compound cutting, adjust sliding fence clear of blade path and guard system.
Before sawing, always check that
there is no interference between
