OPERATING THE TOOL
3. Release the positive stop locking lever (2) and set the
miter at the desired angle making sure the lever snaps into
place.
NOTE: The lever will only lock into place at one of the nine
positive stops.
4. Once the desired miter angle is achieved, press down on
the quick-cam locking lever (1) to secure the table into
position.
5. If the desired miter angle is NOT one of the nine positive
stops, simply lock the table at the desired angle by
pressing down on the quick-cam locking lever (1).
6. Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the
table for pre-alignment of your cut.

BEVEL CUT (FIG. 38, 39)
WARNING
The sliding fence must be fully extended
to the left or right when making bevel cuts. Failure
to extend the sliding fence may not allow enough
space for the blade to pass through, which could
result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel
angles, the saw blade may also contact the fence.
1. When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel locking
handle (1) by turning it clockwise.
2. Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle, as shown on the
bevel scale (2). (Fig. 38)
3. The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90°
straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45° left bevel. Tighten
the bevel locking handle (1) to lock the cutting head in
position. Positive stops are provided at 0°, 33.9° and 45°.
(Fig. 38)
NOTE: The saw
comes with a 33.9°
bevel detent pin (3)
for setting up

4. Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the
table for pre-alignment of cutting.
5. For performing 47° bevel cuts, slide the set plate (4) to the
rear of the saw. Slide right set plate for right side 47° bevel
cutting; slide the left
side set plate for
left side 47°
bevel cutting.

DETENT PIN
FOR CROWN
MOLDINGS
(FIG. 38)
1. Push the bevel
detent pin (3) in
towards the
rear of the
machine.
2. Loosen the
bevel locking
handle (1).
3. Rotate the cutting head until the bevel detent pin (3) stops
the bevel angle at 33.9° on the bevel scale (2).
4. Tighten the bevel locking handle (1) before cutting.
COMPOUND CUT (FIG. 40)
A compound cut is the combination of a miter and a bevel cut
simultaneously.
1. Extend the fence by sliding it out to the required location
or remove the sliding fence if necessary. See
"REMOVING OR INSTALLING THE SLIDING FENCE."
2. Set the desired miter angle and lock
into position. See "MITER CUT".
3. Set the desired bevel angle using
the bevel locking handle (1).
See "BEVEL CUT".
