Sliding Fence; Miter Cut; Bevel Cut; Compound Cut - Craftsman MULTI-MITER 137.242760 Operator's Manual

SLIDING FENCE (FIG. W) BEVEL CUT (Fig. Y)
The sliding fence must be fully extended to the left
when making any miter or bevel cuts other than 0 °.
Failure to fully extend the sliding fence will not allow
enough space for the blade to pass through, which
could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or
bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the
fence.
1. Unlock the fence cam locking lever (1) by pushing it
toward the rear of the machine.
2. Fully extend the fence by sliding it out as far as
possible (2).
3. Lock the fence cam rock by pushing it IN toward the
fence.
NOTE: When transporting the saw, always secure the
sliding fence in the collapsed position (toward the saw
blade).

I_ WARNING]
The sliding fence must be fully extended to the left
when making any compound cuts. Failure to fully
extend the sliding fence will not allow enough space
for the blade to pass through, which could result in
serious injury. Failure to extend the fence may cause
the saw blade to make contact with the fence.
When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel lock
handle (1). Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle as
shown on the bevel scale (2). The blade can be
positioned at any angle, from a 90 ° straight cut (0° on the
scale) to a 45 ° left bevel. Tighten the lock handle (I) to
lock the cutting head in position. Positive stops are
provided at 0° and 45 °,
