Compound Miter Saw

What is the Compound Miter Saw?

• A miter saw is a specialized tool that lets you make cuts at a variety of angles.

• Compound miter saws feature blades that pivot left and right for angled cuts and tilt in a single direction for beveled cuts.

• It is useful for picture frames, crown moulding, or any project that requires angled cuts in two planes.

Safety

• Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield.

• Wear a dust mask.

• Make sure any adjustments are secure before making a cut. Only make adjustments when the power is off and the machine is not moving.

• Keep hands out of the path of the blade.

• Only cut one workpiece at a time

• Reduce the risk of an unintentional startup. Make sure the saw switch is in the OFF position before plugging in.

How to use

• Secure the saw to your workspace

• Secure the wood (or workpiece) to the fence and pull the handle down to see where the blade will meet the board.

• Then clamp down your piece and make sure it is secure.

• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting

• Wait for the saw to stop moving before removing the work.
