Bring the saw arm down so the blade is approximately
1/4 in. from the workpiece. The shadow of the blade will be
projected onto the workpiece, indicating where the blade
teeth will make contact as the cut is made.
TO MAKE NON-SLIDING CUTS
WARNING:
Securely tighten the slide lock knob when making any
non-sliding cuts. Failure to tighten the knob could result
in the saw head moving during the cutting operation.
TO MITER CUT/CROSS CUT
See Figures 28 - 29.
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 partial sliding 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.
Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn
and squeeze the detent release lever.
Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale.
Release the detent release lever, then tighten the miter
lock knob to secure the miter table.
