The sliding compound miter saw scale
can be easily read, showing miter
angles from 0° to 45° to the left, and 0°
to 45° to the right. The miter saw table
has nine of the most common angle
setttings with positive stops at 0°, 15°,
22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These positive
stops position the blade at the desired
angle quickly and accurately. Follow

miter handle.
4. If the miter angle desired is not one
of the nine positive stops, simply
lock the miter table into desired
angle position by turning the miter
