NOTE: To remove the saw from the track, loosen the
anti-tip knob and swing it outwards to retract the lock
plate and pull the saw up and away from the track.
Loosen the bevel lock knobs and move the saw to the
desired bevel angle.
Bevel angles can be set from -1° to 48°.
NOTE: Use the bevel bypass lever to achieve bevel angles
between 45 and 48°. Use the negative bypass tab to
achieve a bevel angle of -1°. Refer to Extended Bevel
Settings later in this section.
Tighten the bevel lock knobs.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock
knobs securely tightened can result in serious injury.
Reinstall the battery pack.
Slide the saw to the starting end of the track and ensure
the blade is positioned to cut all the workpiece.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Carefully lower the blade until it contacts the workpiece.
Guide the saw in a forward direction along the track to
achieve a bevel cut.
NOTE: Use caution to prevent the blade from binding in
the cut.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of splintering, always make
a score cut before cutting through laminated or veneer
faced plywood or composite materials.
Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
Slowly allow the front handle to rise until the blade is
completely inside of the guard and the saw is in the locked
position.
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
BEVEL CUTTING WITHOUT A TRACK
Remove the battery pack and install the riving knife.
NOTE: Always install the riving knife when making through
cuts (except pocket cuts).
Secure workpiece to a workbench, table or other suitable
support.
Place the plunge depth control lever in the plunge cut
position.
Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
Install vacuum hose (not included) if desired.
Loosen the bevel lock knobs and move the saw to the
desired bevel angle.
OPERATION
Bevel angles can be set from -1° to 48°.
NOTE: Use the bevel bypass lever to achieve bevel angles
between 45 and 48°. Use the negative bypass tab to
achieve a bevel angle of -1°. Refer to Extended Bevel
Settings later in this section.
Tighten the bevel lock knobs.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock
knobs securely tightened can result in serious injury.
Reinstall the battery pack.
Place the front of the base flat on the workpiece.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Carefully lower the blade until it contacts the workpiece.
Guide the blade into and through the workpiece.
NOTE: Use caution to prevent the blade from binding in
the cut.
Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
Slowly allow the front handle to rise until the blade is
completely inside of the guard and the saw is in the locked
position..
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
EXTENDED BEVEL SETTINGS
See Figures 37 - 38, page 23 .
The extended bevel capacity of the saw allows you to make
bevel cuts from -1° to 48°.
NOTE: Always use the anti-tip feature when bevel cutting
along a track to prevent the saw from tipping or becoming
unbalanced.
To achieve bevel angles between 45 and 48°:
Remove the battery pack.
Rotate the bevel bypass lever fully clockwise to change
the upper bevel limit from 45° to 48°.
NOTE: Rotate the lever fully counterclockwise to change
the upper bevel limit back to 45°.
Loosen the bevel lock knobs and move the saw to the
desired bevel angle.
Tighten the bevel lock knobs.
To achieve a bevel angle of -1°:
Remove the battery pack.
Rotate the negative bypass tab near the rear of the saw
fully couterclockwise.
Rotate the negative bypass tab near the front of the saw
fully clockwise.
Loosen the bevel lock knobs and move the saw to the
desired bevel angle.
