Cutting Bowed Material - Craftsman 137.375640 Operator's Manual

[,_WARNING ]
The sliding fence must be extended
to the left when making bevel cuts.
The sliding fence has been notched
three bevel angles where the user
must adjust the fence to match the
degree of the bevel cut. Failure to
extend the sliding fence will 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
come in contact with the fence.
COMPOUND CUT (FIG. FF)
A compound cut is the combination of
a miter and a bevel cut simultaneously.
1. Extend the sliding fence as
described in "SLIDING FENCE".
2. Loosen the bevel lock handle (1)
and position the cutting head at the
desired bevel position. Lock the
bevel lock handle.
3. Release miter lock lever (2). Press
down the positive stop locking lever
(3) and position the table at the
desired angle. Release the positive
stop locking lever and lock the miter
lock lever.

CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL
(FIG. GG)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned
against the fence and secured with a
clamping devise before cutting. Do not
position workpiece incorrectly or try to
cut the workpiece without the support
of the fence. This will cause the blade
to bind, and could result in personal
injury.

REPETITIVE CUTTING USING THE

during repetitive cutting. Only use
