To miter cut/cross cut (Fig . 33)
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
an angle other than 0°.
1. Slide the head assembly to its most
rearward position and tighten the slide-rail-
lock knob securely.
2. Raise the head assembly to its full height.
3. Set the bevel angle to 0°.
4. Set the miter angle to the desired position.
Then press down the miter-lock lever to
secure the miter table (See "Miter-angle
adjustment").
5. 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 "Cutting warped material").
6. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the workpiece
with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the saw table (See "To support long
workpieces").
7. Turn the Shadow Light switch on.
8. Lower the blade and align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade or
the blade shadow.
9. Grasp the workpiece firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the work
clamp, a C-clamp, or other suitable clamp to secure the workpiece whenever possible.
10. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to make sure that no
problems will occur when the cut is made.
11. Grasp the main handle firmly. Turn the saw on. Allow several seconds for the blade to
reach maximum speed.
12. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
13. Release the power switch and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before
returning head assembly to the raised position and/or removing workpiece.
