13. When cutting long workpieces, support the opposite end of the workpiece
with a roller stand or with another work surface that is level with the saw table.
,_ WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always securely tighten the
miter-lock knob before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement
of the control arm or miter table while making a cut.
_, CAUTION: Never use another person as an additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to help feed,
support, or pull the workpiece.
,_ WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always keep
hands outside the "No Hands Zone" marked on the saw
table: at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) from the blade. Also, never
perform any cutting operation "freehand" (i.e., without holding
the workpiece against the fence); the blade could grab the
workpiece, causing it to slip and twist.
14. Before turning on the saw, perform a test of the cutting operation by lowering
the saw arm to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.
15. To turn on the saw, push the safety-lock button in with the thumb while
squeezing the On/Off trigger switch located under the handle. Allow several
seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
16. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
17. Release the safety lock and the trigger switch, and turn off the laser
switch. Allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of
the workpiece.
BEVEL CUTTING (Fig. 35)
A bevel cut is a cut made across the
grain of the workpiece with the blade at
an angle to the workpiece.
A straight bevel cut is made with the
miter table set in the 0° position and the
saw arm set at a bevel angle between
0° and 46°
To Bevel Cut with the Miter Saw
1. Unplug the saw.
_, WARNING: Failure to unplug the
saw could result in accidental starting, causing serious injury.
2. Make sure that the miter table is at 0° and locked, and check that the miter-
table lock is locked and secured in position.
,_ WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always securely tighten the
miter-lock knob before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement
of the control arm or miter table while making a cut.
