Miter Cut
• A “miter cut” is a cross-cut made with the blade ver-
tical (non-tilted) at a horizontal angle relative to the
fence.
• A miter cut is made at 0° bevel and any miter angle
in the range from 52° left to 60° right.
• The miter scale shows the angle of the blade
relative to the fence angle is cast-in on the table for
easy reading.
• Positive detents have been provided for fast and
accurate mitering at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°
and 45° left and right and 60° right.
• The crown molding detents (left and right) are at
31.6° (See Cutting Crown Molding for more infor-
mation page 31).
• For precision settings at angles next to the
detents, use the detent override to lock out the
detent. This prevents the wedge on the detent
lever from slipping back into the detent.
• A miter cut can be made as either a chop cut or a
slide cut, depending on the width of the workpiece.
• The kerf inserts should be as close to the blade as
possible without touching the blade (see Kerf
Inserts for adjustment procedures).
Follow these instructions for making
your miter cut:
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.
2. Extend the base extensions and fence on the side
on which the cut will be made. (See Sliding Fences
and Base Extensions on page 25).
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.
4. Follow procedures for either chop cut or slide cut
(see page 26).
5. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before
returning head assembly to the raised position
and/or removing workpiece.
