Correct mitre saw operation

G'day.



I've just purchased a Masters 909 sliding compound mitre saw which was on special.

It's not the best one but for my uses i think it will be good enough.



I had a question though,

I've seen videos on youtube and they seem to operate it in two ways,

I was wondering which one is the correct way, or which results in less wear and tear on the blade/machine.



1) after the cut they will continue to spin the blade at full speed and then bring it up to the top (the original position) still at speed



or



2) after the cut they will wait for the blade to slow down significantly before raising the blade up to its original position.



Thanks.

PS. Any tips on the use of mitre saws are appreciated.

I've already been told to cut slowly, and to wait for the blade to spin up before attempting to cut.
