OPERATION
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figures 36 - 37.
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece with the blade angled to the workpiece. A straight
bevel cut is made with the miter table set at the zero degree
position and the blade set at an angle.
Bevel cuts may be made by angling the blade to the left or
right.
NOTICE:
It may be necessary to adjust or remove the slid-
ing miter fence to insure proper clearance prior to
making the cut. Make sure the fence lock knob is
tightened securely to avoid interference with the
saw head.
 Make sure the slide lock knob is tightened securely.
 Pull out the head lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
 Lift the miter lock lever and press the miter detent bypass
button. Set the miter table to zero.
 Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob.
 Move the bevel detent lever to the detent engaged posi-
tion to select one of the preset bevel settings or place
the bevel detent lever in the detent disengaged position
to select any desired setting.
NOTE: Indexed bevel positions are located at 0°, 15°,
22.5°, 33.9°, and 45° left or right.
 Tighten the bevel lock knob.
 Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place
the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge
of a board is placed against the fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the
blade. See Figures 51 - 52.
 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the
opposite end of the workpiece with a roller stand or with a
work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 42.
 Grasp the workpiece firmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to
secure the workpiece when possible.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut-
ting operation to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
 Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw
blade.
 Turn the LED switch on to project the blade shadow onto
the workpiece.
 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Turn on the saw and allow
several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
 Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
