angled to the fence and miter table. The miter table is set at the zero degree
position and the blade set at an angle between 0
1. Pull on the release knob and lift the saw arm to its full height.

with sloping sides and for roof framing. Always make a test cut on a piece of
scrap wood before cutting into good material. Use the slide action when cutting
wide workpieces, unlock slide by unscrewing lock knob (A) Fig.15.
