TILTING THE CUTTINGHEAD FOR BEVEL CUTTING
The cuttinghead of your compound miter saw can be tilted to cut any bevel angle from a 90° straight cut off to a 45° left bevel angle. Loosen bevel lock handle (A) Fig. 19, tilt the cutting arm to the desired angle, and tighten the lock handle (A).
Positive stops are provided to rapidly position the saw blade at 90° and 45° 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 (B) Fig. 19 on the scale (C).
In addition, a triangle indicator is provided on the bevel scale for cutting crown moulding. Refer to the “CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” section of this manual.

| by hand to ensure that the teeth do not contact any |
|
| |||
| metal surfaces. Adjust if necessary. |
