Bevel Cuts - Bosch CM12SD Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

BM 1609B04985 11-14_CM12SD 11/12/14 2:52 PM Page 30
A "bevel cut" is a cross-cut made with the blade
perpendicular to the fence and with the table set at 0°
miter. The blade can be tilted at any angle within the
saw's range: 47° left and 47° right from the vertical.
The bevel scale is sized and positioned for easy
reading. And the side bevel lock lever is to lock and
unlock the various settings.
A rotating Left Bevel Stop indicator allows you to set
the most common bevel stops 22.5°, 33.9°, 45° and
47° Left and Right, (figure 39). The 33.9° bevel stop
is for cutting 38° "spring angle" crown molding flat on
the table. (See Compound Cuts for more information,
page 31.)
to Make A Bevel Cut
1. Extend the base extension and fence (See Sliding
Fence and Base Extension on pages 25 & 26)
Note: Be sure to move sliding fence away from the
blade to avoid cutting into the fence when bevel
cutting. The sliding fence may need to be removed
when preforming extreme bevel cuts and most
compound cuts, (see page 25).
2. With one hand, pull the bevel lock lever forward to
unlock the saw head (figure 40).
3. Adjust your left or right bevel stop indicator to one
of the four pre-set locations 22.5°, 33.9°, 45°, 47°,
or tilt the head assembly until you reach the
desired angle on your bevel scale (figure 39).
Note: To bevel the saw to the right, the Zero Bevel
Detent must be pulled forward (figure 40).
4. Lock the bevel lock by pushing it toward the back
of the saw.
5. Follow procedures for either chop cut or slide cut
(see page 28).
