A WARNING: When using the hold down clamp included or a C-clamp
(sold separately) to secure the workplace, clamp the workplace on one
side of the blade ONLY.The workplace MUST remain unclamped on the
other sfde of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in the workpieceo
The workplace binding the blade will cause the motor to stall and cause
kickback, resulting In possfble serious Injury.
USETHE FENCE AND HOLD
DOWN CLAMP (Ftg,12)
Aftgn the workplace flush against the
fence to provide sstraight path for the
saw blade This will help e_iminate the
tendency for the blade teeth to binds.

the workpiece to the saw table The
hold down clamp fits into either cramp
mounting hole, teft or right, on the
back of the fence. Clamp the
workpiece to the miter table securely.
The fence and lhe hold down clamp
should both be used as a support for miter, bevel and compound cuts.
CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES
When cutting wide workpiaces (such as 2-tn x 4-tn. boards) the boards MUST BE
clamped wtth the hold down clamp provided or a C-clamp (sold separately)
z_ CAUTION: Pay attention to the position of your body and hands.
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw
witl make cutting easier and safer,. NEVER place hands near the cutting area.
USING THE MITER SAW
Z_ CAUTION: Always hold the cutting handle firmly when making a cut,
because the slatting and stopping action of the motor may cause the handle
to move up or down slightly..

CUTTING BASE MOLDING (Fig_ 16)
Base moldings and many other moldings
can be cut on a miter saw. The setup of the
saw depends on base molding characteristics
and applications, as shown Perform practice
cuts on scrap materials to achieve best
results.
1 Always make sure moldings rest firmly
against fence and table (Fig 16). Use
hold-down cfarnp provided, crown molding
vise, or C-clamps and place tape on the
area being clamped to avoid marks on the
workpiece
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut area
prior to making the cut. Mark the cut line

COMPOUND-ANGLE SETTINGS FOR POPULAR STRUCTURES
*Pitch_f Side=Angleof sidefrom vertl_;a! Example;"i;_1_
CUTTING CROWN MOLDING (Fig. 18)
Your miter saw is ideal for cutting crown motding In order to fit properly, crown
mo_ding must be compound-mitered with extreme accuracy To fit Itat against lhe
ceiling and wall, the sum of the angles of the crown motdlng's two connecting
surfaces must equal g0 ° (Fig 18).
Most crown molding has a high top rear spring angle (the section that fits flat against
the celltng) of 52 _'and a bottom rear spring angle (the section that t_isflat against the
waif) of 38%
In order to accurately cut crown melding for a g0 ° Inside or outside corner, lay the
molding with its broad back surface flat on the miter table and against the fence
(Fig 18)
When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound miter cuts, remember that the
settings are interdependent; changing one changes the elher, as well
Keep in mind that since it is very easy for the angles of crown molding to shift slighUy,
afl settings shoutd be tested on scrap molding Also, most walls do not have angles
of precisely 90% therefore, you will need to fine tune your settings.
When cutting crown motding using thts method, the beve_ angle should be set at
33 9". The miter angle should be set at 31.6" etlher left or right, depending upon
the desired cut for the application See Ihe to!lowing table for correct angte setting
and correct positioning of lhe crown molding on the miter table
