Bevel Range 2 = 0-45° Right
To operate in Bevel Range 2:
1. Move the right sliding fence out to clear saw
assembly and relock (see Fig. 51).
2. Lift bevel lock lever above table height with
the left hand.
3. Grasp the main handle with the left hand
and tilt the saw assembly slightly to the left
while rotating the spring-loaded bevel range
selector knob with the right hand so the
knob's indicator points to "0-45° Right" as
on the label.
4. Once in the desired bevel position, hold the
saw assembly with right hand and use left
hand to fully press down the bevel lock lever
below table height.
NOTE: When the saw assembly is tilted back to
left past 0°, the bevel control knob will snap
back to the default bevel range 1. This is de-
signed to regain the preset bevel stop at the im-
portant 0° position.
Bevel Range 3 = Max. Bevel Angle to 47° Left
or Right
This full-capacity bevel range setting overrides
all preset stops and allows for cutting at bevel
angles beyond the normal 45° on either side.
To operate in Bevel Range 3:
1. Move the left and right sliding fences out to
clear saw assembly and relock (see Fig. 51).
2. Lift bevel lock lever above table height with
the left hand.
3. Grasp the main handle with the left hand and
tilt the saw assembly slightly to the left while
rotating the spring-loaded bevel range selec-
tor knob with the right hand so the knob's in-
dicator points to the red square below "Max.
Bevel Angle to 47° Left or Right."
4. Once in needed bevel position, hold saw
head by the right hand and use left hand to
press down the bevel lock lever below table
height.
NOTE: The selector knob will stay in this "over-
ride" position. Turn the knob slightly clockwise
and it will snap back to bevel range 1 (default
position).
