POSITIVE STOP LOCKING LEVER Locks the miter saw at a preset positive stop for the desired miter angle. SWITCH HANDLE - The switch handle contains the trigger switch and the laser on/off switch. The blade is lowered into the workpiece by pushing down on the handle. The saw will return to its upright position when the handle is released. WARNING LABELS - Read and understand for your own safety. Make sure all labels are present on machine and legible. WRENCH STORAGE - Convenient storage to prevent misplacing the blade wrench. WOODWORKING TERMS ARBOR - The shaft on which a blade is mounted. BEVEL CUT - An angle cut made through the face of the workpiece. COMPOUND CUT - An angled cut to both the edge and face of a board, most common use is with crown molding. CROSS CUT - A cut which runs across the board perpendicular to the grain. KICKBACK - Sudden and unintended movement of the tool or workpiece. It is typically caused by binding or pinching of the workpiece MITER CUT - A miter is a type of joint where the two parts to be joined are cut at an angle, and typically the finished joint forms a 90-degree angle. Also commonly spelled "mitre". REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPM) - The number of turns completed by a spinning object in one minute. SAW BLADE PATH - The area of the workpiece or table top directly in line with the travel of the blade or the part of the workpiece which will be cut. SET - The distance between two saw blade tips, bent outward in opposite directions to each other. The further apart the tips are, the greater the set. THIN-KERF BLADE - Thinner than normal blades, remove less material, smaller kerfs (between .065 and .070). Blade thinness also may increase the heat generated while cutting. WORKPIECE - The wood being cut. The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to as faces, ends and edges. FREEHAND - Performing a cut without using a fence (guide), hold down or other proper device to prevent the workpiece from twisting during the cutting operation. HEEL - Misalignment of the blade. KERF - The width of a saw cut, determined by the thickness and set of the blade. 16

POSITIVE STOP
LOCKING
LEVER -
Locks the miter saw at a preset positive
stop for the desired miter angle.
SWITCH
HANDLE
- The switch
handle contains the trigger switch and
the laser on/off switch. The blade is
lowered into the workpiece
by pushing
down on the handle. The saw will
return to its upright position when the
handle is released.
WARNING
LABELS
-
Read and
understand
for your own safety. Make
sure all labels are present on machine
and legible.
WRENCH
STORAGE
- Convenient
storage to prevent misplacing
the blade
wrench.
WOODWORKING
TERMS
ARBOR
- The shaft on which a blade
is mounted.
BEVEL
CUT - An angle cut made
through the face of the workpiece.
COMPOUND
CUT - An angled cut
to both the edge and face of a board,
most common
use is with crown
molding.
CROSS CUT - A cut which runs across
the board perpendicular
to the grain.
KICKBACK
- Sudden and unintended
movement
of the tool or workpiece.
It is
typically caused by binding or pinching
of the workpiece
MITER CUT
- A miter is a type of joint
where the two parts to be joined are cut
at an angle, and typically
the finished
joint forms a 90-degree
angle. Also
commonly
spelled "mitre".
REVOLUTIONS
PER
MINUTE
(RPM)
- The number of turns completed
by a
spinning object in one minute.
SAW BLADE
PATH - The area of the
workpiece or table top directly
in line
with the travel of the blade or the part
of the workpiece
which will be cut.
SET - The distance between
two saw
blade tips, bent outward
in opposite
directions to each other. The further
apart the tips are, the greater the set.
THIN-KERF
BLADE - Thinner than
normal blades, remove
less material,
smaller kerfs (between
.065 and .070).
Blade thinness also may increase the
heat generated
while cutting.
WORKPIECE
- The wood being
cut. The surfaces of a workpiece are
commonly
referred to as faces, ends
and edges.
FREEHAND
-
Performing a cut without
using a fence (guide), hold down or
other proper device to prevent the
workpiece
from twisting
during the
cutting operation.
HEEL - Misalignment
of the blade.
KERF - The width of a saw cut,
determined
by the thickness and set of
the blade.
