TO BEVEL CUT
See Figure 27.
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 45°.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the partial sliding miter
fence to ensure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
 Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
 Loosen the miter lock knob approximately one-half turn
and press the detent release button.
 Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale.
 Release the detent release button, then tighten the miter
lock knob to secure the miter table.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and
45° left or right by releasing the detent release button as
you rotate the control arm. The control arm will seat itself
in one of the positive stop notches, located in the miter
table base.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the
left to the desired bevel angle.
 Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.
 Align the indicator point for the desired angle.
 Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle,
securely 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 32 - 33.
 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 30.
 Grasp the workpiece firmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the work clamp, C-clamp, or other
suitable clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
OPERATION
 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the trigger lockout
lever and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several sec-
onds 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 the workpiece.
Wait until the blade stops turning before removing the
workpiece from miter table.
