Saw Operations

Compound Cuts

• A "compound cut" is a cross-cut made with the

blade both at a horizontal angle relative to the

fence (at a miter angle) and tilted away from the

vertical position (at a bevel angle).

• A compound cut can be made as either a chop cut

or a slide cut depending on the width of the work-

piece.

• Because it may take several tries to obtain the

desired compound angle, perform test cuts on

scrap material before making your cut.

Follow these instructions for

making your compound cut:

1. Extend the base extensions and fences on the

side on which the cut will be made. (See Sliding

Fences and Base Extensions on page 22.)

2. Properly position workpiece. Make sure work-

piece 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.

3. Set miter and bevel angles according to the

instructions on page 24 and 25 for miter and bevel

cuts.

4. Follow the procedures for either chop cut or slide

cut (see page 23).

5. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before

returning head assembly to the raised position

and / or removing workpiece.
