The bevel lock knob
11
allows you to bevel the saw 49° left or right. To adjust the bevel setting,
turn the knob counterclockwise. The saw head bevels easily to the left or to the right once the 0°
bevel override knob is pulled. To tighten, turn the bevel lock knob clockwise.
0° Bevel Override (Fig. A)
The bevel stop override allows you to bevel the saw to the right past the 0° mark.
When engaged, the saw will automatically stop at 0° when brought up from the left. To
temporarily move past 0° to the right, pull the bevel lock knob
override will be reengaged. The bevel lock knob can be locked out by twisting the knob 180°.

. The saw is factory set to be used for typical crown in North America
(52/38), but can be reversed to cut non-typical (45/45) crown. To reverse the crown bevel pawl,
remove the retaining screw, the 22.5° bevel pawl and the 33.9° crown bevel pawl. Flip the crown
bevel pawl so the 30° text is facing up. Reattach the screw to secure the 22.5° bevel pawl and the
crown bevel pawl. The accuracy setting will not be affected.

This is necessary when making certain cuts or when transporting the saw.
Depth Stop (Fig. A)
The depth stop
24
allows the depth of cut of the blade to be limited. The stop is useful for
applications such as grooving and tall vertical cuts. Rotate the depth stop forward and adjust the
depth adjustment screw
28
to set the desired depth of cut. To secure the adjustment, tighten
the wing nut
. Rotating the depth stop to the rear of the saw will bypass the depth stop

can be used to loosen the screw.
Lock Down Pin (Fig. A)
WARNING: The lock down pin should be used only when carrying or storing the saw. NEVER
use the lock down pin for any cutting operation.
To lock the saw head in the down position, push the saw head down, push the lock down pin
in and release the saw head. This will hold the saw head safely down for moving the saw from
place to place. To release, press the saw head down and pull the pin out.

Automatic Electric Brake
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake which stops the saw blade within
5 seconds of trigger release. This is not adjustable.
On occasion, there may be a delay after trigger release to brake engagement. On rare occasions,
the brake may not engage at all and the blade will coast to a stop.
If a delay or "skipping" occurs, turn the saw on and off 4 or 5 times. If the condition persists, have
the tool serviced by an authorized D
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from the kerf. The brake is not a
substitute for guards or for ensuring your own safety by giving the saw your complete attention.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect
it from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and bystanders must wear eye protection
that conforms to ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3).
Plug the saw into any household 60 Hz power source. Refer to the nameplate for voltage. Be sure
the cord will not interfere with your work.
Body and Hand Position (Fig. L1–L4)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position
as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of
a sudden reaction.
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw will make cutting
easier, more accurate and safer. Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer than
4" (100 mm) from the blade. Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting.
Keep hands in position until the trigger has been released and the blade has completely stopped.
ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT YOU CAN CHECK THE
PATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS ARMS, AS SHOWN IN FIGURE L3.
Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As you move the miter arm
left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw blade. Sight through the guard
louvers when following a pencil line.
