 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.
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figure 32.
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece with the blade angled to the workpiece. A straight
bevel cut is made with the miter table set at the zero degree
position and the blade set at an angle between 0° and 45°.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the partial sliding fence
to ensure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
 Slide the saw head to its most rearward position and
tighten the slide lock knob securely.
 Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
 Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn
and squeeze the detent release lever.
 Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator is posi-
tioned at 0°.
 Release the detent release lever, engaging the positive
stop notch, then tighten the miter lock knob to secure
the miter table.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to
the desired bevel angle.
 Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.
 Align the indicator point for the desired angle.
 Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle,
securely tighten the bevel lock knob.
 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 Figures 42 - 43.
 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 35.
 Press the LED switch.
OPERATION
WORK
CLAMP
 Lower the blade and align the cutting line on the workpiece
with the edge of saw blade or the blade shadow.
 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the work clamp, C-clamp, or other suitable
clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the trigger lockout
lever and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several sec-
onds 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. Wait
until the electric brake stops blade from turning before
removing the workpiece from miter table.
