OPERATION
TO MAKE NON-SLIDING CUTS
WARNING:
Securely tighten the slide lock knob when making any
non-sliding cuts. Failure to tighten the knob could result
in the saw head moving during the cutting operation.
TO MITER CUT / CROSS CUT
See Figures 26 - 27.
A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table
set at the 0° position. Miter cross cuts are made with the
miter table set at some angle other than 0°.

Raise saw arm to its full height.
 Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale. Securely tighten the
miter lock handle.
 Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place
the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge
of a board is placed against the
fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the
blade.
See Figures 38 - 39.
 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
a work surface level with the saw table.
See Figure 32.
 Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw
blade.
 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure
the workpiece when possible.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut-
ting operation to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Squeeze the switch trigger.
Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum
speed.
 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 workpiece
and removing the workpiece from the miter table.
