• When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait
for the blade to come to a complete stop be-
fore removing any part of the workpiece.
• After the blade has stopped completely, re-
move the cutoff stock.
• Grasp the workpiece from the lead end (the
end fed into the blade first) and carefully re-
move it from the saw table.
To make compound (bevel) miter cut
WARNING: Make sure the blade guard as-
sembly is installed and working properly to
avoid serious personal injury.
• Remove the rip fence by depressing the lock
and lifting the locking handle.
• Turn the bevel locking lever to the left to un-
lock it. Turn the blade adjusting handle until
the bevel indicator is at the desired angle.
• Retighten the bevel locking lever and set the
blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
• Set the miter gauge to desired angle and
tighten the miter gauge lock knob.
• Make sure the wood is clear of the blade be-
fore turning on the saw.
• Turn the saw ON.
• Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands
on the miter gauge and feed the workpiece
into the blade.
NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be
placed on the miter gauge lock knob and the
hand farthest from the blade should be placed
on the miter gauge and workpiece.
• Keep the workpiece flush against the miter
gauge. Stand slightly to the side of the wood
as it contacts the blade to reduce the chance of
injury should kickback occur.
• When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait
for the blade to come to a complete stop be-
fore removing any part of the workpiece.
• After the blade has stopped completely, re-
move the cutoff stock.
To make a non-through cut
Non-through cuts can be made with the grain
(ripping) or across the grain (cross cut). The
use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting
grooves. DO NOT perform bevel non-through
cuts on this machine.
NOTE: This is the only type of cut that is made
without the blade guard assembly installed.
Compound Miter Cut
Make sure the blade guard assembly is rein-
stalled upon completion of this type of cut. DO
NOT install dado blades on this machine.
Read the appropriate section which describes
the type of cut in addition to this section on
non-through cuts. For example, if your non-
through cut is a straight cross cut, read and
understand the section on straight cross cuts
before proceeding.

ing most of the cut. Be alert to the exposed
cutter at the start and finish of every cut to
avoid the risk of serious personal injury.
