Cutting Techniques 
There are three basic cutting techniques for sliding miter 
saws, but only two are proper and authorized. These are 
Chop-Cut, Push-Cut, and the improper method is a Pull-Cut.

Chop-Cut 
A chop-cut is used for cutting narrow or tall stock, where 
the front edge of the workpiece is behind the center of the 
sawblade. For this type of cut, the saw head is brought 
straight down into the cut. 
Push-Cut 
A push-cut is used for cutting wider boards, but is also 
usable in most situations where a chop-cut could be used. 
For this type of cut, the saw head is pulled out toward the 
operator, plunged downward, and the primary cutting of the 
workpiece occurs as the saw head is being pushed back 
toward the rear of the saw (as shown in the picture below). 
Pull-Cut (Improper Method) 
 
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury from loss 
of control, never use the pull-cut technique. 
The third type of cut, called a pull-cut, or climb-cut, should 
be avoided for both safety reasons and for cutting 
performance reasons. This type of cut is made by plunging 
the saw head down, and then pulling it forward. The danger 
of this type of cut is that the sawblade wants to self-feed 
into the cut (called climb-cutting), and this can cause the 
saw head to jump forward unexpectedly. The reason this 
type of cut results in a poor quality cut is because it is using 
two different actions for the same cut. It starts out with a 
lunge-cut, and then finishes with a climb-cut. This means 
that the sawblade is cutting the wood in two different 
manners, and there will frequently be a rough edge at the 
transition from one type of cut to the other.

Tips for Successful Cutting 
► 
For more accurate cuts, mark your cutting length with 
a thin pencil line. A thick line will result in a less 
accurate cut length. 
► 
When fitting one piece to another, it may be helpful to 
make the initial cut slightly long, and then trimming 
the cut to final length after test-fitting the piece. 
► 
When cutting a new board, cut off the original factory 
end to ensure a square, fresh end, before measuring 
for your final length. 
► 
When cutting small trim, use a zero clearance fence 
and/or insert to prevent small offcuts from being 
thrown behind the fence by the windage from the 
spinning blade (see page 23). 
► 
When cutting multiple pieces of varying lengths from 
a limited supply of stock, always cut the longest 
pieces first, and cut the remaining pieces from the 
leftovers.  
► 
Do not force the blade through the cut. A cleaner 
edge will be achieved with a steady, moderate feed 
rate. 
► 
A chop-type of cut yields the lowest tearout on the 
front and top edges of the cut, but the most tearout 
on the rear side of the cut. 
► 
A push-type cut yields moderate tearout on the top 
surface, but the best cut edge.
