OPERATION
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figures 28 - 29.
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 between 0° and 48°.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust or remove the sliding
miter fence to insure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
Lift the miter lock lever, then depress and hold the detent
release button to release the miter table.
Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with zero
on the miter scale.
Release the detent release button, then push the miter
lock lever down to secure the miter table.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to
the desired left bevel angle.
NOTE: To obtain right bevel angles, tip the head 10° to
the LEFT then push the zero bevel stop button and tilt
the saw to the desired RIGHT bevel angle.
Left and right bevel angles can be set from 0° to 48°.
NOTE: Use the bevel stop turret to locate 33.9°, 45°, and
48° bevel angles. See Figure 29.
Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle,
securely tighten the bevel lock knob and push the zero
bevel stop button.
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 36 - 37.
When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 31.
Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of
saw blade or laser line.
Grasp the stock 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 cutting
operation to make sure that no problems will occur when
the cut is made.
Grasp the saw handle firmly. Squeeze the switch trigger.
Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum
speed.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece
and removing the workpiece from the miter table.
