OPERATION
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figures 27 - 29.
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
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the sliding miter fence to assure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock han- dle approximately
Press the miter lock plate down with your thumb and hold.
Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.
Release the miter lock plate.
NOTE: You can quickly locate zero by releasing the lock plate as you rotate the control arm. The lock plate will seat itself in one of the
Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.
Bevel angles can be set from
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 34 - 35.
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 32.
Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.
Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a
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 switch lock with thumb then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
