Cross Cuts; Bevel Cuts; Compound Miter Cuts - Delta ShopMaster S26-260L Mode D'emploi

CROSS CUTS

A cross cut is a cut made across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight cross cut means the miter scale
indicator is set at 0°. For a miter cross cut, the miter scale
indicator is set at an angle other than 0°.
Refer to Figure 17.
1. Disengage the lock pin (A) and lift saw arm to its full
height.
2. For a straight cross cut, skip to step 5.
3. To make a miter cross cut, loosen the miter lock
handle (B).
4. Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale (C) then tighten the
miter lock handle securely.
5. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence. If the
concave edge of a board is placed against the fence,
the board could collapse on the blade at the end of
the cut, jamming the blade.
6. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the opposite end of the stock with a roller
stand or with a work piece support that is level
with the table surface. See SUPPORTING LONG
WORKPIECES (Page 20).
7. Align cutting line on workpiece with edge of saw
blade or laser line.
8. Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the optional work clamp (D)
9. Before turning on the saw, practice the cut to ensure
no problems will occur when the cut is made.
10. Hold the saw handle firmly and squeeze the power
switch. Wait until the blade reaches maximum speed
before making cut.
11. Slowly lower the blade into and through the
workpiece.
12. Release the power switch and allow the blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.
13. Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning
before removing the workpiece from the table.

BEVEL CUTS

A bevel cut is made across the grain with the blade
angled to the workpiece. A straight bevel means the miter
scale indicator is set at 0° and the bevel scale indicator is
set at an angle other than 0°.
OPERATION

COMPOUND MITER CUTS

A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle
and a bevel angle at the same time. Adjustments of miter
and bevel settings are interdependent. Each time you
adjust the miter setting you change the effect of the bevel
setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you
change the effect of the miter setting.
