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.

• 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.

• M

iter 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

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).

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).
