Miter Cuts
A miter is an angled crosscut. Miters are usually
cut in the same manner as crosscuts, using the
miter gauge and a predetermined mark on the
workpiece.
To perform a miter cut:
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Ensure that the blade guard and splitter or
riving knife is installed.
3. Determine the angle of your cut. If the angle
needs to be very precise, use a protractor to
set the miter gauge to the blade.
4. Place the face of the miter gauge against
the edge of the workpiece and place the bar
across the face of the workpiece. Use the
bar as a guide to mark your cut as shown in
Figure 45.

5. Place the miter gauge back into the slot and
hold the workpiece firm against the miter
gauge body. Slide the miter gauge near the
blade and adjust the workpiece so the blade
will cut on the waste side of the line.
6. Proceed to make the cut in the same manner
as described in the Crosscutting instruc-
tions.
Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts
When the blade tilt stop bolts are properly adjust-
ed (
Page 49), the blade tilt handwheel allows
the operator to tilt the blade to the left, anywhere
between 0° and 45°. This is used most often when
cutting bevels, compound miters or chamfers.
Figure 46 shows an example of the blade when
tilted to 45°.
