Bevel Cuts

! WARNING for bevel cutting, adjust sliding fence clear of blade path and guard system.

Bevel Angle Stops and Detents

•The saw has bevel angle stops that accurately stop at critical angles: 45° left, 0°, and 45°. It comes factory-set and should not need to be adjusted. However, after extensive use or if the tool has received a hard impact, it may require an adjustment.

•The saw has a bevel angle detent pin which can only be engaged at 33.9° left or right - this is the bevel angle required when cutting 38° “spring angle” crown molding flat on the table. NOTE: If the bevel detent pin automatically engages at 33.9° and prevents tilting the saw to another angle, simply pull it to the front and rotate its cross pin 1/4 turn so it rests in the disengaged position. If pin is sticking in, tilt and rock saw head side to side as you pull on it (see Figure 52).

Setting Saw to Make a Bevel Cut

1.Lift up the bevel lock lever to unlock (see item 14

– page 8).

2.Choose the desired bevel range using the bevel range selector knob. NOTE: If in the 0° position and moving to “0-45° Range,” it may be necessary to move the head assembly slightly to the left before the selector knob can be turned.

3.Grasp the main handle and tilt the saw head assembly to the desired angle while watching one of the bevel angle pointers – watch the right pointer when tilting to the left or the left pointer when tilting to the right.

4.Continue to hold saw and push down on the bevel lock lever (with your left hand) to lock. Let go of tool.
