- Always wear eye and ear protection and secure any loose clothing, jewelry and long hair. Keep hands 6 inches from the blade and off the turntable. Do not cross your arms as you cut. Support your work piece with a feed support or stand.
Before powering up, bring the blade down to ensure you are still on your mark. Bring the blade up to the top position, power it up and bring it back down, into the wood. If you're using a sliding miter saw, you always want the sliding motion to be in toward the fence.

This guy has such a nice manner. I want his company regularly.
That IS a nice saw. One thing missing: it looks like he is cutting a pressure-treated deck board. One should always wear respiratory protection like a dust mask when cutting any "treated" wood.
Habitat Pro newer treated woods don't have the arsenic the older treated used to have. Having said that, it's recommended that dust masks be worn at all times when cutting wood.
Is the dusk mask "needed" even when you are outside, like this guy is?
Also always remember to have your wood flush with the fence! I made the mistake of pushing my wood into the fence too far to the left, and the wood was not totally flush with the fence, so there was a little kickback. That can be scary, so be careful!
I dont understand..
I love it when you talk about the hair, no pun intended though, because I'm sporting a long hair nowadays and your advice is just spot on. Thanks...
Clear instructions! Need more details!
Great video!
Thank you
Love this guy!
Dude same!!!
Nice demo, thanks
thank you!
You didn't show me how to release the saw. Mine's in the locked down position and I can't get it up!
....and that's the reason I'm here too.
jx14aby OMG me too! 😆
I just found one that explained there's a pin in the back to lock it for movement.
Nice simple explanation even without the hair. 🐕
Nice saw!!!
I liked your video, Where is the safety located. Or the lock down. I need to release the blade...
@@Alexanderortiz99 wtf? Cringe dude
Hey guy, have you got a video on your Kobalt 7 1/4 inch sliding compound miter saw (Model # SM1850LW). I just bought my first one and could use Lowe's expertise to teach me the basics.Thanks in advance
As a matter of fact, we do +william patterson!! There's a quick product intro video at the link below. There's also some much more detailed operational instructions starting on page 27 of the instruction manual (a digital version is also available at the link below). Good luck!

+Lowe's Home Improvement Yes I found all that and I was hoping there might be a bit more for us novice woodworkers. I got the Kobalt stand as well and buzzed through a stack of 2x4s this morning and couldn't believe what a great tool this was for under $300 for Saw and Stand. Thanks for replying, I'll keep searching CZcams. Bill in Las Vegas

Don't put your 2x4 or 2x6 so it is sitting on the 2x side - always cut it so it has a nice wide base to rest against the fence.
I need that miter saw in my life
Your tools are the only things that miter in life? *Feeling particularly dad-jokish, today.
If you have a sliding miter saw, does it mater if you "chop" down to make a cut, or should you use the slide and slide thru the piece your cutting ?
great
Hey, this is Frank Sabotka's lobbyist. Knew i saw him somewhere.
In towards the fence?
I'm having a hard time finding a video that shows HOW to tilt the blade at an angle like that. Shouldn't there be a mechanism that loosens the blade to allow it to tilt, and the re-tighten to keep it at that angle? Normally it stays straight up and down, so I thought this video would show us how to enable this tilting option. But this guy just reaches over and the blade tilts easily. Seems unsafe that it can do that without some prior maneuvering of the settings.
Hi, Emily, on my miter saw there is a twist knob on the blade support, and you loosen in to tilt the blade and tighten it when you are at the angle you want.
@@mrsameyer Thank you so much! After more research, I found the knob, although it was very tight so it took me awhile to loosen it, but finally I succeeded and have been able to use my mitering function. Thank you for the helpful info!
Mine is down and I can't get it up
Go see a dr.
A little too brief and do not make assumptions, assume all the audience are idiots...
I wanted to know more about cutting bevels... especially if you have a saw that only cuts on one side, as I do have cause it cost me much less money....
+Stuart William Johnson True True
Stuart William Johnson If you are doing crown, the most common reason for bevel cuts, you might be better off looking up coping saws.
Here is something for you.... Look It UP!!!!!
Keith flippen is my name I have never seen somebody with the same name as me much less the same spelling of flippen
