OPERATION TO MAKE A MITER CUT See Figure 24. Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners on material, decorative chair rail, and base molding with the material at any angle to the wheel other than 90°. Miter cuts tend to "creep" during cutting. This can be controlled by holding the workpiece securely against the miter guide. Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material. Install the miter guide to the left of the wheel. Set the miter guide to desired angle using the miter guide scale, and tighten securely with lock knob. Place the material on the table and firmly against the sliding table fence. Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw. Turn the on/off switch to the ON position. Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel. Hold the material firmly against the sliding table fence and feed the material into the cutting wheel. When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material. TO MAKE AN L-CUT See Figure 25. L-cuts are cuts that remove a piece of tile to fit in a corner, around a cabinet, or a piece of molding and are made by two separate cuts. NOTE: Only overcut on the bottom or underneath side of the material being cut. Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material. Remove the miter guide. Place the material on the table and firmly against the sliding table fence. Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw. Turn the on/off switch to the ON position. Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel. Hold the material firmly against the sliding table fence and feed the material into the cutting wheel. Make the cut far enough into the material without overcutting. When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material. 20 - English MITER CUT L-CUT Fig. 24 Fig. 25
