COMPOUND MITER CUTS
This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and mitering. See Figure
51 and follow the instructions for both bevel crosscutting and
mitering. Remember to use the right miter slot for all bevel cuts.
DO NOT attempt compound miter cuts, with blade beveled
and miter fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar with
the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except the bevel
angle
A
is set to an angle other than 90°. When making a bevel
crosscut, place the miter gauge in the right miter slot so that the
blade is tilted away from the gauge and hands. See Figure 50.
MITER CUTS
Figure 50
Miter cuts are cross cuts with the miter gauge set at an angle
other than 90°. For instructions about setting miter gauge angles,
see Preparing to Cut section beginning on Page 30. To adjust the
preset index miter stops, see Adjusting the Miter Stops on page 28
of this manual.
Miter angles less than 45° may force the blade guard
assembly into the saw blade causing damage to the blade
guard assembly and personal injury. Before starting the motor,
test the operation by feeding the workpiece into the blade
guard assembly. If the blade guard assembly contacts the
blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard assembly
but not touching the blade - before starting the motor.
Certain workpiece shapes, such as molding may not lift the
blade guard assembly properly. With the power off, feed
the workpiece slowly into the blade guard area and until the
workpiece touches the blade. If the blade guard assembly
contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard
assembly - but not touching the blade - before starting the
motor.
LARGE PANEL CUTS
Place workpiece supports at the same height as the saw table
behind saw to support the cut workpiece, and alongside(s) of saw,
as needed. Depending on shape of panel, use rip fence or miter
gauge to control workpiece. If a workpiece is too large to use either
a rip fence or a miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.

MAKING CUTS
DO NOT allow bystanders to hold or support any
portion of the workpiece.
