OPERATION  Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.  Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.  Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the trigger lockout lever and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.  Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.  Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning before removing the workpiece from miter table. TO COMPOUND MITER CUT See Figures 30 - 31. A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used to make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping sides, and for certain roof framing cuts. To make this type of cut the control arm on the miter table must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always be taken when making compound miter setups due to the interaction of the two angle settings. Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interdependent with one another. Each time you adjust the miter setting you change the effect of the bevel setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you change the effect of the miter setting. It may take several settings to obtain the desired cut. The first angle setting should be checked after setting the second angle, since adjusting the second angle affects the first. Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have been obtained, always make a test cut in scrap material before making a finish cut in good material. NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the partial sliding miter 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.  Pull out the lock pin and lift 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.  Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.  Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.  Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the bevel lock knob.  Recheck miter angle setting. Make a test cut in scrap material.  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.

the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to
secure the workpiece when possible.
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when

Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the trigger lockout
lever and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds
for the blade to reach maximum speed.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait until
the electric brake stops blade from turning before removing
the workpiece from miter table.
TO COMPOUND MITER CUT
See Figures 30 - 31.
A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle and a
bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used to make
picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping sides,
and for certain roof framing cuts.
To make this type of cut the control arm on the miter table must
be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be tilted
to the correct bevel angle. Care should always be taken when
making compound miter setups due to the interaction of the
two angle settings.
Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interdependent with
one another. Each time you adjust the miter setting you change
the effect of the bevel setting. Also, each time you adjust the
bevel setting you change the effect of the miter setting.
It may take several settings to obtain the desired cut. The first
angle setting should be checked after setting the second angle,
since adjusting the second angle affects the first.
Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have been
obtained, always make a test cut in scrap material before making
a finish cut in good material.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to adjust the partial sliding miter
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.
Pull out the lock pin and lift 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.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the
left to the desired bevel angle.
Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.
Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely
tighten the bevel lock knob.
Recheck miter angle setting. Make a test cut in scrap
material.
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
