MAKING A 45° DIAGONAL CUT
45° Diagonal cuts are also referred to as
“long point-to-long point cuts”.
• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be
cut on material.
• Install the miter gauge (C).
• Adjust miter gauge to 45° using angle scale and
tighten securely with lock knob.
• Position the rip guide rail (D) the desired distance from
the wheel for the cut and securely lock the lever.
• Place the material on the table and rmly against the
rip guide.
• Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel
before turning on the saw.
• Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
• Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel.
• Hold the material rmly against the miter guide and slide miter guide along rip guide. Feed the
material into the cutting wheel.
• When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop
before removing any part of the material.
TO MAKE A MITER CUT
Miter cuts are used for cutting outside and inside
corners on material, decorative chair rail, and base
moulding with the material at any angle to the wheel
other than 90°. Miter cuts tend to “creep” during cutting.
This can be controlled by holding the workpiece
securely against the miter guide.
• Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to
be cut on material.
• Install the miter gauge (C).
• Position the rip guide rail (D) the desired distance from
the wheel for the cut and securely lock the lever.
• Set the miter guide to desired angle using the miter
guide scale, and tighten securely with lock knob.
• Place the material on the table and rmly against the
rip guide.
• Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw.
