What's a Miter Cut – Saw features
A "miter cut" is a cross-cut made with the blade
perpendicular to the horizontal table. The blade is
not tilted and the bevel pointer is on the 0° line.
Miter cuts can be made at any angle across a
workpiece within this saw's range, from 52° left to
60° right.
The miter scale shows the angle of the blade
relative to the saw's fence. The miter pointer is
attached to the table and indicates the saw's miter
position before the cut is made.
Ten positive miter detents are provided for fast and
accurate preset miter angles – locations are at
45°, 31.6°, 22.5°, 15° left and right, and center at
0°. The right side has an additional miter detent of
60°.
The crown molding detents on the left and right are
at 31.6° for compound cutting 38° "spring angle"
crown molding lying flat on the table (see Cutting
Crown Molding on page 36).
For precision settings at miter angles very close to
the miter detents, use the miter detent override to
prevent the detent from automatically engaging
the detent slot. See detent override instructions on
page 28.
A miter cut can be made either as a chop cut or
Making a Miter Cut
1. Loosen miter lock knob. Lift miter detent lever and
move the saw to the desired angle, using either the
detents or the miter scale. Tighten miter lock knob
(figure 40).
2. Extend the base extensions and fence on the side on
which the cut will be made. (See Sliding Fence and
Base Extension on pages 26 & 27).
3. Properly position workpiece. Make sure workpiece is
clamped firmly against the table or the fence. Use
clamping position that does not interfere with
operation. Before switching on, lower head assembly
to make sure clamp clears guard and head assembly.
WARNING
Off by conducting a simulated cutting cycle, and
observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep
hands at least six (6) inches away from the
projected path of the saw blade.
4. Follow procedures for either chop cut or slide cut
(see page 29).
5. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before
returning head assembly to the raised position and/or
removing workpiece.
Saw Operations
Be aware of the path of the saw
blade. Make a dry run with the saw

slide cut, depending on the width of the workpiece.
The kerf inserts should be adjusted to be as close
to the blade as possible to reduce splintering (see
kerf insert adjustment instructions on page 18).
Reading the Miter Scale
The miter scale used on this saw includes several
scales of information to help the user accurately preset
this saw before making the cuts (see figure 39).
