Introduction
The Miter Saw has the ability to also cut trenches (really big grooves) into a workpiece. This is achieved by a stop that is built into the miter saw itself.

Trenching is cutting out material in large grooves, or "trenches"
-
The upright green knob on the right side of the saw controls the depth of the cut and can be turned for micro adjustments.
-
The farther the knob is pushed down, the deeper the trench will be.
-
-
-
Make sure to return the trench depth back to the original state once done with the machine.
-
This is done by returning the green knob to its original upright position.
-
Place any and all scrap materials either in one of the bins at the back of the woodshop or by the DeWalt power tool wall, or keep for personal use.
