    How can I improve the quality of the cuts of my miter saw?

    There are several factors that contribute to the quality of the cut your saw is making. See the suggestions listed below:

    • Check condition of blade, replace if dull or damaged.
    • Use blade designed for application. Blades with lower, or negative "hook angles", and higher tooth counts will produce higher quality results.
    • Make the downward stroke in a consistent, smooth manner.

    If you continue to have problems with the quality of the cut, please contact your local Service Center.
