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 28 - 29.
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.
 Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn
and squeeze the detent release lever.
 Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale.
 Release the detent release lever, then tighten the miter
lock knob to secure the miter table.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22-1/2°, 31.6°,
and 45° left or right by releasing the detent release lever
as you rotate the control arm. The control arm will seat
itself in one of the positive stop notches, located in the
miter table base.
 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 40 - 41.
 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 33.
 Slide the saw head to its most rearward position and
tighten the slide lock knob securely.
 Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw
blade or laser line.
 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 cutting
operation to make sure that no problems will occur when
the cut is made.
