LOCKING CUTTINGHEAD
IN THE DOWN POSITION
When transporting the saw, the cuttinghead should
always be locked in the down position. Lower the cutting
arm (A) Fig. 18, and push in plunger (B) until other end of
plunger (B) engages with hole in cutting arm.
IMPORTANT: CARRYING THE MACHINE BY THE
SWITCH HANDLE WILL CAUSE MISALIGNMENT.
ALWAYS LIFT THE MACHINE BY THE BASE OR BY
THE CARRYING HANDLE (See Fig. 21).
TILTING CUTTINGHEAD FOR
BEVEL CUTTING
The cuttinghead of your compound miter saw can be
tilted to cut any bevel angle from a 90 degree straight
cut off to a 45 degree left bevel angle. Loosen bevel lock
handle (A) Fig. 19, tilt cutting arm (B) to the desired
angle, and tighten lock handle (A).
Positive stops are provided to rapidly position the saw
blade at 90 and 45 degrees to the table. Refer to the
section of this manual titled "ADJUSTING 90 AND 45
DEGREE BEVEL STOPS." The bevel angle of the
cutting arm is determined by the position of the pointer
(C) Fig. 19 on the scale (D).
In addition, a triangle indicator is provided on the bevel
scale at the 33.9 degree bevel angle for cutting crown
moulding. Refer to
MOULDING" section of this manual.

A rear support bar (A) Fig. 20 is provided to prevent the
machine from tipping to the rear when the cuttinghead is
returned to the up position. For maximum support the
bar (A) should be pulled out as far as possible.
The support bar (A) Fig. 21 can also be used to carry the
machine.
