| Capabilities and limitations || This tool can be used for cutting all types of timber up to a size of 300 mm for a straight cut and <??>200 mm for a 45 degree cut, and up to a 200 mm height. Be extremely wary of nails when using reclaimed wood, as this can rip off teeth and make the tool unbalanced and less functional. The Mitre saw can be used to cut plastics, some plastics will give better results than others so make a test cut if it's an important piece (the blade must be changed in order to do this). This tool will not cut metal and any attempt to do so will cause severe damage, if you need to cut metal then the [[Tools/bandsaw|bandsaw]](requires level-2 induction) or [[Tools/metalchopsaw|cold-cut saw]] can be used || Description of what the tool can and cannot safely do.

| Adjustment the saw for your cut ||
* Ensure the machine is switched off prior to all adjustments, and ensure that all locks are in place prior to switching on.
* To adjust the mitre, unscrew the knob and lift the handle at the end of the bed, adjust to a custom mitre angle between 0 and <??>55 degrees or use the slots at the base of the bed to adjust to 0, 15, 22.5, 30, or 45 degrees; retighten the knob when finished. <areThese theangles scalesare fairly accurate?, but if in doubt, use ofthe angle gauge/test cut(found ifabove not>the wood lathe).
* To adjust the bevel angle, pull the lever located underneath the rail, then turn the unit counterclockwise until you are at the correct bevel angle. <are the scales accurate? use of angle gauge/test cut if not>
* The compound slide position does not need to be adjusted, but when in use it should be extended as far out as is necessary prior to switching on, and when not in use it should be contracted as deep in as possible locked by twisting the red screw above the rail.
