▼ WHAT'S A MITER CUT

• A "miter cut" is a cross-cut made with the
blade perpendicular to the horizontal table.
The blade is not tilted and the bevel
pointers are both on the 0° lines.
• Miter cuts can be made at any angle across
a workpiece within this saw's range, from
52° left to 60° right.
• The miter scale shows the angle of the
blade relative to the saw's fence. The miter
pointer is attached to the turntable and
indicates the saw's miter position before
the cut is made.
• Ten positive detents are provided for fast
and accurate preset miter angles – locations
are at 45°, 31.6°, 22.5°, 15° left and right,
and center at 0°. The right side has an
additional detent of 60°.
• The crown molding detents on the left and
right are at 31.6° for compound cutting 38°

• For precision settings at miter angles very
close to the miter detents, use the miter
detent override to prevent the detent from
automatically engaging the detent slot. See
detent override instructions on page 38.
• A miter cut can be made either as a chop cut
or slide cut, depending on the width of the
workpiece.
• The kerf inserts should be adjusted to be as
close to the blade as possible to reduce
splintering (see kerf insert instructions on
page 24).

▼ READING THE MITER SCALE
