Basic Saw Operations

Making Common Slide Compound Cuts

There are two types of cuts that can be made with the

slide compound miter saw;

1. Chop Cutting

a. The carriage lock knob is tightened and the saw

handle is pushed down to cut through the work-

piece.

b. This type of cut is used mainly for narrow pieces.

2. Slide Cutting

a. The carriage lock knob is left loose, the cutting head

is pulled towards the operator, the sawblade is low-

ered into the workpiece and then pushed to the rear

of the saw to complete the cut.

b. Used for cutting wide pieces.

Make Workshop Child-proof, Lock the shop. Discon-

nect master switches. Store tool away from children and

others not qualified to use the tool.

WARNING: For your convenient use, your saw has

a blade brake. The brake is not a safety device.

Never rely on it to replace proper use of the guard

on your saw. If the blade does not stop within 6

seconds, unplug the saw and follow the instruc-

tions in the Trouble Shooting section for fixing the

brake before using saw again.

WARNING: Do not try to cut short pieces. You can-

not properly support the workpiece and keep your

hold down hand the required distance from the

blade.
