Saw Operations

Bevel Cuts

Using the Bevel Range Selector Knob

Bevel Range 1 = 0-45° left

This left-side bevel range is the default setting.

To operate in Bevel Range 1:

1.Move the left sliding fence out to clear saw assembly and relock (Figure 51).

2.Lift bevel lock lever above table height with left hand.

3.Grasp the main handle with the right hand and tilt the saw assembly to the angle desired.

4.Once in the desired bevel position, hold the saw assembly with right hand and use left hand to fully press down the bevel lock lever below table height.

NOTE: Without turning the saw “ON,” perform a dry cut to make sure the fence clears the guards and adjust if necessary.

Bevel Range 2 = 0-45° Right

To operate in Bevel Range 2:

1.Move the right sliding fence out to clear saw assembly and relock (see Figure 51).

2.Lift bevel lock lever above table height with the left hand.

3.Grasp the main handle with the left hand and tilt the saw assembly slightly to the left while rotating the spring-loaded bevel range selector knob with the right hand so the knob’s indicator points to “0- 45° Right” as on the label.

4.Once in the desired bevel position, hold the saw assembly with right hand and use left hand to fully press down the bevel lock lever below table height.

NOTE: When the saw assembly is tilted back to left past 0°, the bevel control knob will snap back to the default bevel range 1. This is designed to regain the preset bevel stop at the important 0° position.

Bevel Range 3 = Max. Bevel Angle to 47° left or 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.

To operate in Bevel Range 3:

1.Move the left and right sliding fences out to clear saw assembly and relock (see Figure 51).

2.Lift bevel lock lever above table height with the left hand.

3.Grasp the main handle with the left hand and tilt the saw assembly slightly to the left while rotating the spring-loaded bevel range selector knob with the right hand so the knob’s indicator points to the red square below “Max. Bevel Angle to 47° Left or Right.”

4.Once in needed bevel position, hold saw head by the right hand and use left hand to press down the bevel lock lever below table height.

NOTE: The selector knob will stay in this “override” position. Turn the knob slightly clockwise and it will snap back to bevel range 1 (default position).
