2. Place the machine on a firm, level surface with proper support of the workpiece. 3. The 36-412 is shipped with the cuttinghead beveled right to 45° and locked in the down position, and the table rotated 45° left. To release the head and move it to the operating position, see “MOVING CUTTINGHEAD TO THE UP POSITION”... - Page 9 FENCE OPERATION The saw is supplied with left and right fence segments (A) Fig. 7 that incorporate a squeeze clamp feature.

(A) Fig. 22. Positive stops (A) Fig. 23 are provided to rapidly position the saw blade at 0°, 33.9° and 45°. Refer to the section of this manual titled “ADJUSTING 0°, 33.9° AND 45° BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS.” The bevel angle of the cutting head is determined by the position of the pointer (B) on the scale (C). - Page 13 NOTE: To perform a bevel cut of more than 45°, pull the bevel pin (B) out to bypass the bevel detent plate. 48° left or right is possible. MAKE SURE THAT THE FENCES ARE CLEAR OF THE GUARD AND BLADE BEFORE USING SAW. Fig. 25 ADJUSTING 0°, 33.9°, AND 45°...
- Page 14 Correct adjustment provides a snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the tilting movement of the trunnion when bevel cutting, or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.
- Page 15 ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUARD The 36-412 incorporates an moveable lower blade guard (C) Fig. 36, and it also has a secondary blade guard (B) to cover the rear section of the blade. After an extended period of use, the moveable lower blade guard (C) Fig. 36 may not operate smoothly when the cuttinghead is lowered.
- Page 16 Aluminum extrusions (aluminum screens and storm windows) can easily be cut with your miter saw. When cutting aluminum extrusions, or other sections that can be cut with a saw blade and are within the capacity of the machine, position the material so that the blade is cutting through the smallest cross-section, as shown in Fig. 39. The wrong way to cut aluminum angles is illustrated in Fig.
- Page 17 Then if necessary turn knob(s) (A) Fig. 45 to fine adjust the stop. A recessed slot (D) Fig. 44 is provided for the user to add pencil markings to establish various quick reference stop positions. MAKE SURE THAT THE FENCES ARE CLEAR OF THE GUARD AND BLADE BEFORE USING SAW. Fig. 43 Fig.
