Bevel Cut; Compound Cut - Stanley FATMAX FME720 Original Instructions Manual

● When the saw reaches full speed, push the main
operating handle (2) down slowly, cutting through the
workpiece.
● Slowly move the main operating handle (2) toward the
fence to complete the cut.
● Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the blade to stop
before allowing the cutting head to rise.
Operating the high sliding fence for all bevel and
compound mitre cuts
● The moveable part of the left side of the fence can be
adjusted to provide maximum support of the work piece
near the blade, while allowing the saw to bevel to a full
47° left. The sliding distance is limited by stops in both
directions.
Adjusting the fence (fig. E)
● Loosen the high sliding fence clamp (20) and slide the
fence to the left.
● Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for
clearance.
● Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to
provide maximum work piece support, without interfering
with the up and down movement of the arm.
● Tighten the high sliding fence clamp (20) to secure the
@
fence in place.
Warning! The guide groove can become clogged
with sawdust. Use a stick or low pressure air to
clear the guide groove.

Bevel cut

● Make sure that the high sliding fence is adjusted to the
correct orientation before adjusting the bevel angle.
Note: The saw is fitted with a special 33.9° bevel pin (23) for
special crown moulding.
● Loosen the bevel lock handle (30) (fig. F) and move the
cutting head to the required angle. Tighten the bevel lock
handle (30).
● Operate the on/off switch, then press the release
lever (36) when the saw reaches full speed, push the
main operating handle (2) down slowly, cutting through the
workpiece.
● When the saw reaches full speed, push the main
operating handle (2) down slowly, cutting through the
leading edge of the workpiece.
● Slowly move the main operating handle (2) toward the
fence to complete the cut.
● Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the blade to stop
before allowing the cutting head to rise.
● Make sure that the arm is securely locked when bevelling.

Compound cut

● Make sure that the high sliding fence is adjusted to the
correct orientation before adjusting the bevel angle to
make a compound cut.
A compound cut is a combination of mitre cut and bevel cut.
● Switch the laser on/off switch (1) to on.
● Refer to the above procedures to perform this cut.

Crown moulding cut (fig. L)
Crown moulding can only be cut flat on the table with this
mitre saw.
● This mitre saw has special mitre stops on 31.6° left and
right and a bevel stop of 33.9° for special crown moulding,
i.e. 52° between the back of the moulding and the top
flat surface that fits against the ceiling; 38° between the
back of the moulding and the bottom flat surface that fits
against the wall.
