out backward rotate it a 1/4 turn in either direction

and releasing it in that position (A in Fig. 29a). Bevel
angles can be set from 0° to 48°. Move the saw head
assembly to the desired angle.
•
To use the quick pre-set stops, pull the lock button
out backward until the saw head assembly can be
moved and then release the lock button. The saw head
assembly will lock into place at often-used bevel angles,
including 0°, 22.5°, 33.6°, and 45° on left side.
•
Lock the saw head assembly into position by tighten
the bevel lock knob clockwise.
•
Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one
edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence. If the concave
edge of a board is placed against the fence, the board
could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut,
jamming the blade. (See Fig. 34a-34b)
•
When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the opposite end of the workpiece with
extension table. (See Fig. 24b)
•
Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of
saw blade.
•
Turn the precision blade guide systems ON/OFF switch
on to project the blade shadow onto the workpiece.
•
Grasp the workpiece rmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the workpiece clamp or a C-clamp
to secure the workpiece when possible.
•
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to make sure that no problems will
occur when the cut is made.
•
Grasp the saw handle rmly. Turn the switch on and
allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum
speed.
•
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
•
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece
and removing the workpiece from the miter table.

Compound miter cut (Fig. 30a-30b)
CAUTION: It may be necessary to slide the sliding
fence out to the required location or remove it to
ensure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
CAUTION: Use a clamping position that does not
interfere with the cutting operation.
A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle
and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used
to make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with
sloping sides, and for certain roof framing cuts.
To make this type of cut the control arm on the miter table
must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must
be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always be
taken when making compound miter setups due to the
interaction of the two angle settings.
Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interdependent
with one another. Each time you adjust the miter setting
you change the e ect of the bevel setting. Also, each time
you adjust the bevel setting you change the e ect of the
miter setting.
It may take several settings to obtain the desired cut. The
rst angle setting should be checked after setting the
second angle, since adjusting the second angle a ects the
rst.
Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have been
obtained, always make a test cut in scrap material before
making a nish cut in good material.
•
Loosen the miter lock handle by turning it counter-
clockwise and squeeze the miter latch lever.
•
Move the table to the desired angle.
•
Release the miter latch and tighten the miter lock
handle after adjusting the miter angle.
NOTICE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45°
left or 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° and 60° right by releasing the
miter latch lever as you rotate the miter table. The table will
seat itself in one of the positive stop notches, located in the
miter table base.
•
Loosen the bevel lock knob at the rear of the saw.
•
For adjustments at any bevel angle, pull the lock button
out backward rotate it a 1/4 turn in either direction
and releasing it in that position (A in Fig. 29a). Bevel
