Bevel Cut• A“bevel cut” is a cross-cut made with the blade per-
pendicular to the fence but tilted away from the
vertical position.
• A bevel cut is made at 0° miter and any bevel angle
in the range up to 47°.
• There are factory set bevel stops at 0° and 45° on
both the left and right. (See Adjustment section if
adjustments are required.)
• The front-positioned bevel range selector knob
provides three bevel range choices.
•There are also positive crown molding bevel
stops at 33.9° on both the left and right. Disengage
this stop unless using the 33.9° angle (See Cutting
Crown Molding for details.)
•The front-positioned bevel lock lever locks the
head assembly at the desired bevel angle.
Bevel Range Selection
Choose the desired bevel range using the bevel
range selector knob (Figure 1).
To operate in Bevel Range - 45°Left to 0°
(This left bevel range is the default setting)
a. Extend left sliding fence to clear saw assembly and
re-lock (Figure 2).
b. Lift bevel lock lever to release bevel lock (Fig. 1).
c. Grasp the front carry handle with right hand and tilt
saw head to angle desired (Figure 2).
d.Push down bevel lock lever until you feel the lever
snap into the locked position.
To operate in Bevel Range 0°to 45° Right:
a. Extend right sliding fence to clear saw assembly
and re-lock (Figure 2).
b. Lift bevel lock lever to release bevel lock (Fig. 1).
c. Standing on right side of saw, grasp the front car-
ring handle with right hand and tilt saw head slight-
ly to the left while rotating the bevel range selector
knob with left hand to “0-45° Right” (Figure 2).

the 45° stop.
e. Push down bevel lock lever until you feel the lever

NOTE: When the saw assembly is tilted back left past
0°, the bevel control knob will snap back to the default
bevel range 1. This is designed to regain the pre-set
bevel stop at the important 0° position.
To operate in Bevel Range 47°Left to 47° Right:
This full capacity bevel range setting overrides all
preset stops and allows for cutting at bevel angles
beyond the normal 45° on either side.
a. Move left or right sliding fence to clear saw assem-
bly and re-lock (Figure 2).
