WARNING: When mitring the end of a piece of wood with a small off-cut, position
the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to the side of the blade with the greater angle to
thefence:
left mitre, off-cut to the right
right mitre, off-cut to theleft.
Bevel Cross-Cut (Fig. A2, Q3)
Bevel angles can be set from 48° left to 2° right and can be cut with the rotating table set
between zero and a maximum of 45° mitre position left orright.
1. Loosen the fence clamping knob
77
and slide the upper part of the side fence to the left
as far as it willgo.
2. Loosen the bevel clamp knob
16
and set the bevel asdesired.
3. Tighten the bevel clamp knobfirmly.
4. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Compound Mitre (Fig R1–R4)
A compound mitre is a cut made using a mitre angle (Fig. R1) and a bevel angle (Fig. R2) at the
same time. This is the type of cut used to make frames or boxes with slanting sides like the one
shown in Fig.R3.

WARNING: If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check that the bevel clamp knob
and the mitre lock knob are securely tightened. These knobs must be tightened after
making any changes in bevel ormitre.
1. The chart shown below will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and mitre settings
for common compound mitre cuts. To use the chart, select the desired angle “A” (Fig. R4)
of your project and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in the chart. From that point
follow the chart straight down to find the correct bevel angle and straight across to find
the correct mitreangle.
2. Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trialcuts.
3. Practice fitting the cut piecestogether.
4. Example: To make a 4 sided box with 25° exterior angles (angle “A”) (Fig. R4), use the upper
right arc. Find 25° on the arc scale. Follow the horizontal intersecting line to either side to
get the mitre angle setting on the saw (23°). Likewise follow the vertical intersecting line to
the top or bottom to get the bevel angle setting on the saw (40°). Always try cuts on a few
scrap pieces of wood to verify the settings on thesaw.

Cutting Base Mouldings
The cutting of base moulding is performed at a 45° bevelangle.
• Always make a dry run without power before making anycuts.
• All cuts are made with the back of the moulding laying flat on thesaw.
Inside Corner
Left Side
• Position the moulding with top of the moulding against thefence.
• Save the left side of thecut.
Right Side
• Position the moulding with the bottom of the moulding against thefence.
• Save the left side of thecut.
Outside Corner
Left side
• Position the moulding with the bottom of the moulding against thefence.
• Save the right side of thecut.
Right Side
• Position the moulding with top of the moulding against thefence.
• Save the right side of thecut.
Cutting Crown Mouldings
The cutting of crown moulding is performed in a compound mitre. In order to achieve extreme
accuracy, your saw has pre-set angle positions at 35.3° mitre and 30° bevel. These settings are
for standard crown mouldings with 45° angles at the top and 45° angles at thebottom.
• Make test cuts using scrap material before doing the finalcuts.
• All cuts are made in a left bevel and with the back of the moulding against thebase.
Inside Corner
Left Side
• Top of the moulding against thefence.
• Mitreright.
• Save the left side of thecut.
Right Side
• Bottom of the moulding against thefence.
• Mitreleft.
• Save the left side of thecut.
Outside Corner
Left Side
• Bottom of the moulding against thefence.
• Mitreleft.
• Save the right side of thecut.
Right Side
• Top of the moulding against thefence.
• Mitreright.
• Save the right side of thecut.
Sawing in the Bench Mode
• Always use the rivingknife.
• Always ensure that the riving knife and blade guard are correctlyaligned.
• Always ensure that the mitre saw is set and locked in 0°mitre.

WARNING: Do not cut metal in thismode.
Ripping (Fig. S1, S3)
1. Set the bevel angle to 0°.
2. Adjust the saw bladeheight.
3. Set the parallel fence to the requireddistance.
4. Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the fence. Keep the workpiece approx.
25mm away from the sawblade.
5. Keep both hands away from the path of the sawblade.
6. Switch the machine on and allow the saw blade to reach fullspeed.
7. Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the upper blade guard, keeping it firmly pressed
against the fence. Allow the teeth to cut, and do not force the workpiece through the saw
blade. The saw blade speed should be keptconstant.
8. Remember to use the push stick
25
when close to theblade.
9. After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the saw blade to stop and remove
theworkpiece.

WARNING: Never push or hold the free or cut-off side of theworkpiece.

WARNING: Always use a push stick when ripping smallworkpieces.
Bevel Cuts (Fig. S2)
• Set the required bevelangle.
• Proceed as forripping.
Cross-cutting
• Set the bevel angle to 0°.
• Adjust the saw bladeheight.
• Proceed as for ripping, push the workpiece through theblade.
Bevel Cross-cutting
• Set the required bevelangle.
• Proceed as for cross-cutting.
