Compound Cuts
• A compound cut is a cut requiring both a miter setting and
a bevel setting.
• Because it may take several tries to obtain the desired
compound angle, perform test cuts on scrap material
before making your cut.
Follow these instructions for making your
compound cut:
1. Move sliding fence to proper position 1 (see Sliding Fence
on page 50).
2. Extend the sliding base 2 (see Sliding Base Extension on
page 50). Select the desired miter and bevel angles 3
(Figure 30). (See Miter Cut and Bevel Cut on pages 52
and 54.)
3. Properly position workpiece 4. Make sure workpiece is
clamped 5 firmly against the table and the fence.
4. Make sure all controls are locked before cutting.
Use clamping position that does not
interfere with operation. Before switching
on, lower head assembly to make sure clamp clears guard
and head assembly.
4. Activate the switch. Lower the head assembly and make
your cut.
5. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before
returning head assembly to the raised position and/or
removing workpiece.
