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 by loosening bevel lock handle (A) Fig. 18, tilting cutting arm (B) to the desired angle and tightening 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. 18, on the scale (D).

The support bar (A) also acts as a carrying handle, as shown in Fig. 20, when transporting the saw.
