okay this is a safety instruction video
for our Bosch 12 inch sliding compound
miter saw first things first let's talk
about safety there's nothing more
important than these when you're working
with our chairs please wear safety
glasses at all times so this can slide
back and forth however the head won't
come up unless we release it here we
have to push down on the handle a little
bit to release the tension and turn this
90 degrees and now the head come up
you'll notice that the guard clears
itself as you need it no need all day by
hand there's a lot of functionality this
is a compound miter I can by lifting up
on this as long as this is loose I could
lift up and I can turn and it has a
variety of locking points 45 31.6 22 and
1/2 15 and of course zero try and leave
the machine on zero there's a bevel lock
that we can set right now this is set on
45 left so I can tip the saw in this
direction if you're going to tip the saw
make sure that the fence is adjusted out
of the way of the blade it doesn't know
where this fence is it can cut right
through it
and damage the blade again to release
this this allows it to release and I can
go 0 to 45 there are some stops
31.9 45 I'm gonna set it back at 0 and
then lock it down if I turn this one I
can get it to 45 right max range I could
lock it out this way or right
like that if I want to set a different
angle on here somewhere in the middle
like you pick any point rotate this luck
for a cut here
this machine cuts when as a right-handed
person I use my thumb to catch the red
button and then as a left-handed person
I would take my thumb and squeeze this
button hold the button in any case I
want to have to saw past the work that's
the same way of cutting because the
teeth rotate in this direction and the
force is going this way so you want your
work flat on the table and up against
the fence when we cut right now I've set
it up with a stands a little longer
these work on here and cotton-like it
puts tops on it and have repeatable cuts
or if I want to cut to a specific length
take it my pencil mark it where I like
let's say I want to cut it it 38 in a
quarter right here put a mark on the
waste side and I can set this up
when I grab this to check the work I'm
going to make sure I don't engage the
safeties I don't want it to start up
accidentally and then I can set the work
right where I want it anywhere on the
board where I have my mark I'm going to
set the teeth there and adjust so that
this side of the blade is coming right
down on my life
there's a little curve to the blade so
it'll cut a little wider than you think
I'm gonna use my right hand to hold this
in place my left hand will turn on the
saw say I have a little bit of line left
I want to recut that I can just scooch
it over a little bit when I'm done with
the saw I can brush it off
put the head down lock it in place if
you want to you can actually lock this
keep it from moving if you need to
transport it you can lift here and here
there's another feature that allows us
to set the height we can adjust this
pushing and have a data effect on other
cuts I want it to push down here
said it and we go down there was certain
death and no lower so I could create a
do a cut on this Soph I wanted to when
we're done with it please leave it so
that it will go full cutting so that the
saw is below the level of the working
event trough again when we're done knock
it up that's our Bosch 12-inch compound
