Sliding Fence
When beveling the blade to the left the fence may have to
be repositioned. Loosen the fence locking knob and slide
the fence to the left. Adjust the fence as close to the
guard and link as possible to provide maximum support
for the workpiece. Securely tighten knob and make a dry
run with the saw off to check for clearance between the
fence and guard. After completing bevel cut(s) remember
to slide the fence back to the right.
Miter Cut
When a miter cut is required, loosen miter lock knob,
depress the index spring and move the saw to the
desired angle. Retighten miter lock knob. Move with the
handle to the miter angle to make the cut.
Bevel Cut
When a bevel cut is required, loosen bevel lock knob. Tilt
the blade to desired bevel angle. Retighten bevel lock
knob. Stand to the left side of the handle to make the cut.
The bevel stop pin, found at the rear of the saw, has three
positions as shown. For most cuts the 0 - 45° middle
position is used. Push the pin all the way in to utilize the 0
- CM position when cutting crown molding. Pull the pin all
the way out to allow the bevel adjustment to go beyond
the 0° and 45° stops.
