Using the Bevel Range Selector Knob
Bevel Range 1 = 0-45° left
This left-side bevel range is the default setting.
To operate in Bevel Range 1:
1. Move the left sliding fence out to clear saw
assembly and relock (Figure 51).
2. Lift bevel lock lever above table height with left hand.
3. Grasp the main handle with the right hand and tilt
the saw assembly to the angle desired.
4. Once in the desired bevel position, hold the saw
assembly with right hand and use left hand to fully
press down the bevel lock lever below table height.
NOTE: Without turning the saw "ON," perform a dry
cut to make sure the fence clears the guards and
adjust if necessary.
Bevel Range 2 = 0-45° Right
To operate in Bevel Range 2:
1. Move the right sliding fence out to clear saw
assembly and relock (see Figure 51).
2. Lift bevel lock lever above table height with the left
hand.
3. Grasp the main handle with the left hand and tilt
the saw assembly slightly to the left while rotating
the spring-loaded bevel range selector knob with
the right hand so the knob's indicator points to "0-
45° Right" as on the label.
4. Once in the desired bevel position, hold the saw
assembly with right hand and use left hand to fully
press down the bevel lock lever below table height.
NOTE: When the saw assembly is tilted back to left
past 0°, the bevel control knob will snap back to the
default bevel range 1. This is designed to regain the
preset bevel stop at the important 0° position.
Bevel Range 3 = Max. Bevel Angle to 47° left or
Right
This full-capacity bevel range setting overrides all
preset stops and allows for cutting at bevel angles
beyond the normal 45° on either side.
To operate in Bevel Range 3:
1. Move the left and right sliding fences out to clear
saw assembly and relock (see Figure 51).
2. Lift bevel lock lever above table height with the left
hand.
3. Grasp the main handle with the left hand and tilt the
saw assembly slightly to the left while rotating the
spring-loaded bevel range selector knob with the
right hand so the knob's indicator points to the red
square below "Max. Bevel Angle to 47° Left or Right."
4. Once in needed bevel position, hold saw head by
the right hand and use left hand to press down the
bevel lock lever below table height.
