Bevel Cut - Wen 70712 Instruction Manual

CROSS-CUTTING WITH SLIDE ACTION
When cutting wide work pieces, first unscrew the slide lock knob.
1. Pull on the release knob (FIGURE 2), raise the saw arm to its highest posi-
tion and slide it towards you (FIGURE 22).
2. Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow the blade to
reach maximum speed.
3. Slowly lower the blade into the workpiece while pushing it away from you
until the workpiece is cut.
4. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before
raising the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before re-
moving the workpiece.

BEVEL CUT

A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade
angled to the fence and miter table. The miter table is set to the zero degree
position with the blade angle between 0° and 45° (Fig. 23). Use the slide action
when cutting wide workpieces.
1. Pull on the release knob (FIGURE 2) and lift the saw arm to its full height.
2. Loosen the miter lock (FIGURE 4).
3. Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.
4. Retighten the miter lock (FIGURE 4).
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter lock before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the
table moving during operation, causing serious personal injury.
5. Loosen the bevel lock (FIGURE 11) and pull out the 0° bevel adjuster. Move the saw arm to the desired bevel
angle (between 0° and 45°). Tighten the bevel lock (FIGURE 11).
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the
convex side against the fence. If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the
blade.
7. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with the sidebars, a roller stand or a
work surface that is level with the saw table.
8. Use the clamp assembly to secure the workpiece wherever possible.
9. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly by loosening the clamp assembly lock and moving it to the other
side of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly lock is tight before using the clamp.
10. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
11. Hold the operating handle firmly and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
12. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
13. Once the cut has been made, release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising
the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece.
