Line 37:
| 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
* 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.
Line 51:
* Consider the forces you are exerting to hold the work securely, ensure that if you slip or fall you will not move towards the blade
* If the work cannot be held securely against the fence in a way that can't rotate or move owing to it's size/shape/orientation, then it cannot be cut on the mitre saw, perhaps consider the [[Tools/tablesaw|table saw]] or [[Tools/bandsaw|bandsaw]] instead.
* If the work has a high aspect ratio then consider what orientation to hold it in to avoid the saw kicking it up. Place the flatest parts of the wood on the bed and fence, with the narrowest flat side on the fence.
* Always cut a bit before or after your line such that the edge of the blade is on the line and the centre is on the waste side, this ensures an accurate cut with minimal waste. Test this with both the laser, and by lowering the saw onto the work piece; the position of the saw takes priority over the laser, the laser is just a guide!
* Consider where your sawdust and chips are going to go, warn people if necessary.
