Saw Operations

• A miter cut is made at 0° bevel and any miter angle in the
range from 48° left to 48° right.
• Positive detents have been provided for fast and accurate
mitering at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, and 45° left and right.
• There is also a crown molding detent at 31.6° (see
Cutting Crown Molding for more information page 65).
• For maximum support, the sliding fence must always be
as close to the blade as possible without interfering with
head assembly. (see Sliding fence adjustment, if
necessary, page 54).
