CROWN MOLDING (FIG. II)
1. Push the bevel detent stop
pin (2) in toward the front
of the machine.
2. Loosen the bevel lock handle (1).

COMPOUND CUT (FIG. JJ)
WARNING

SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP TO 12 IN. WIDE (FIG. KK)
To avoid injury:
• Never pull the cutting head assembly and spinning blade
toward you during the cut. The blade may try to climb up
on the top of the workpiece, causing the cutting assembly
and spinning blade to kick back, forcefully. The cutting
head assembly should be drawn back completely then
pushed forward when sawing.
• Let the blade reach full speed before cutting. This will help
reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece.
To Slide Cut Wide Boards (Fig. KK)
1
1. Unlock the carriage lock handle (1) and allow the cutting
head assembly to move freely.
2. Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the miter angle
and lock into position.
3. Use a hold down clamp to secure the workpiece.
4. Grasp the switch handle (2) and pull the carriage (3)
forward until the center of the saw blade is over the front
of the workpiece (4).
5. Engage the trigger to turn the saw on.
6. When the saw
reaches full
speed, push the
switch handle
down, slowly,
cutting through
the leading edge
of the workpiece.
7. Slowly move the saw
handle back toward the
fence, completing the cut.
8. Release the
trigger and
allow the blade
to stop spinning
before allowing
the cutting head
to raise.
CUTTING GROOVES (FIG. LL)
WARNING
on metals.
1. Mark lines identifying the width and depth of the desired
cut on the workpiece and position on the table so the
inside tip of the blade is positioned on the line. Use a
clamp to secure the workpiece.
2. Lower the cutting head so the tip of the blade touches
the top surface workpiece at the marked line.
3. While holding the upper arm in position, turn the stop knob
(1) until it touches the stop plate (2).
4. Cut two parallel grooves as shown below.
