OPERATION
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 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.
 Loosen the miter lock knob. Rotate the miter lock knob
approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.
 Press the miter lock plate down with thumb and hold.
 Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with zero
on the miter scale.
 Release the miter lock plate.
 Tighten the miter lock knob securely.
 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 48°.
NOTE: Use the bevel override to locate 33.9°, 45°, and
48° bevel angles. See Figure 22.
 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 29.
 Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of
saw blade.
 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.
WORK CLAMP
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut-
ting 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.
