 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 the
workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing
the workpiece from the miter table.
TO COMPOUND MITER CUT
See Figures 26 - 27.
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, and make
boxes with sloping sides.
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 al-
ways be taken when making compound miter setups due
to the interaction of the two angle settings.
Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interdepen-
dent with one another. Each time you adjust the miter set-
ting 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.
 Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
 Lift the miter lock lever.
 Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero
on the miter scale.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22-1/2°, left
or right, 31.62° and 45° left or right as you rotate the
control arm. The miter table will seat itself in one of the
positive stop index points, located in base.
 Push the miter lock lever down to lock 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.
