TILTING CUTTINGHEAD
FOR BEVEL CUTTING
The cuttinghead of your compound miter saw can be tilted to cut any bevel angle from a 90 degree straight
cut off to a 45 degree left bevel angle by loosening bevel lock handle (A) Fig. 18, tilting cutting arm (B) to the
desired angle and tightening lock handle (A).
Positive stops are provided to rapidly position the saw blade at 90 and 45 degrees to the table. Refer to the
section of this manual titled "ADJUSTING 90 AND 45 DEGREE BEVEL STOPS." The bevel angle of the
cutting arm is determined by the position of the pointer (C) Fig, 18, on the scale (D),
In addition, a triangle indicator is provided on the bevel scale at the 33-718 degree bevel angle for cutting
crown moulding. Refer to the "CUTTING CROWN MOULDING" section of this manual.
REAR SUPPORT/CARRYING
HANDLE
A rear support bar (A) Fig. 19, is provided to prevent the miter saw from tipping to the rear when the cutting-
head is returned to the up position after a cut has been made. For maximum support the bar (A) should be
pulled out as far as possible.
The support bar (A) also acts as a carrying handle, as shown in Fig. 20, when transporting the saw.
