Your compoundmiter saw has been adjusted at the

factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some

of the components might have been jarred out of

alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time,

readjustment will probably become necessary due to

wear. After unpacking your sew, check the following

adjustments before you begin using saw. Make any

readjustments that are necessary and periodically

check the parts alignment to make sure that your saw

is cutting accurately.

_l_ WARNING: Your saw shouldnever be

connectedto powersupplywhen you are

assemblingparts, making adjustments,installing

or removingblades, or when not in use.

Disconnectingyoursaw willprevent accidental:

startingthat could cause serious injury.

Note:Manyoftheillustrationsinthismanualshow

cu'rlrlNG A SLOT IN THE ZERO

CLEARANCE THROAT PLATE

In orderto use your compound miter saw, you must

cut a slotthroughthe zero clearance throat plate to

allow for blade clearance.To cut the slot, sat your

saw at Odegrees miter,turn saw on and allow the

blade to reach fullspeed, then carefully make a

straight cut as far as it will go throughthe throat plate.

Turn your saw off and allow the blade to come to a

complete stop before raisingthe saw arm.

Next, adjust the bevel angle to 45 degrees, tum your

saw on and allowthe blade to roach full speed, then

carefully make another cut throughthe zero clearance

throat plate. The throat plate will then be wide enough

to allow the blade to pass throughit at any angle from

Oto 45 degrees.

DEPTH STOP I

The depth stop limitsthe blade's downwardtravel. It,

allows the blade to go below the mitertable enoughto

maintainfull cuttingcapacities. The depth stop posi-

tions the blade 114in. from the mitertable support.

Note: The miter table supportis locatedinsidemiter

table.

The depth stop is factory setto providemaximum

cuttingcapacity for the 10 in. sew blade providedwith

your saw. Therefore, the saw blade providedshould

never need adjustments.

However, when the diameter of the blade has been

reduced due to sharpening, it may be necasseryto

adjust the depth stop to providemaximumcutting

capacity. Also, when a new blade is installed,it is

necessary to check the clearance of the blade to the

miter table support before startingthe saw. Make

adjustmentsif needed.

COMPOUND MITER CUT

A compoundmitercut is a cut made usinga miter

angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of

cut is usedto make pictureframes, cut molding, make

boxes withslopingsides, and for certainroof framing

cuts.

To make thistype of cut the controlarm on the miter

table must be rotatedto the correctangle and the saw

arm must be tilted to the correct bevelangle. Care

shouldalways be taken when making compound miter

setupsdue to the interactionof the two angle setings..

Adjustmentsof miter and bevel settingsare interde-

pendent withone another. Each time you adjustthe

mitersetting you change the effect of the bevel

setting.Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting

you change the effectof the miter setting.

It may take several settingsto obtainthe desiredcut.

The firstangle setting shouldbe checked after setting

the second angle, since adjustingthe second angle

affects the first.

Once the two correct settingsfor a particularcut have

been obtained,always make a test cut inscrap

matedal before makinga finishcut in goodmatedaL

COMPOUND-ANGLE SETTINGS FOR POPULAR STRUCTURES

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

Your compoundmiter saw does an excellent job of

cuttingcrown molding. In general, compound miter

saws doa betterjob of cuffingcrown moldingthan

any other tool made.

In orderto fit properly,crown moldingmust be com-

pound m/tared with extreme accuracy.

The two contact surfaces on a piece of crown molding

that fit fiat against the ceiling and the wall of a room

are at angles that, when added together, equal

exactly 90°. Mcet crown moldinghas atop rear angle

(the sectionthat fits fiat against the ceiling) of 52° and

a bottom rear angle (the section that fits fiat against

the wall) of 38°.

To use thismethod foraccurateiy cuttingcrown

moldingfor a 90° insideor outsidecomer, lay the

moldingwith its broad beck surfacefiat onthe miter

table and against the fence.

When settingthe beval and miterangles forcom-

pound miters, remember that the settingsare interde-

pendent;changingone angle changes the other angle

as well.

Keep in mind that the angles for crownmoldingsare

very precise and difficultto set. Since it is very easy

for these angles to shift,all settingsshouldfirstbe

tested on scrap molding.Also mostwalls do nothave

angles of exactly 90", therefore, you will needto fine

tune your settings.

When cuttingwarped material,always make sure it is

positionedon the mitertable with the convex side

against the fence as shown infigure 33.

If the warped matadai is positionedthe wrong way as

shown infigure 34, it will pinchthe blade near the

completion of the cut.

_lb WARNING: To avoid a kickbackand to avoid

serious personalinjury,never positionthe

concave edge of bowed or warped material

against the fence.
