OPERATION

Note: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22-1/2°, left or right, 31.62° and 45° left or right as you rotate the control arm. The miter table will seat itself in one of the positive stop index points, located in base.

Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.

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 col- lapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.

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 35.

Align cutting line on workpiece with edge of saw blade.

Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.

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.

Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

Release the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning before removing the workpiece from the miter table.

TO Bevel Cut

See Figures 31 - 32.

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 0° and 45°.

Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.

Lift the miter lock lever.

Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.

NOTE: You can quickly locate 0° as you rotate the control arm. The miter table will seat itself in one of the positive stop index points, located in base.

Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.

Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.

Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.

Align the indicator point for the desired angle.

Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the bevel lock knob.
