BEVELCUTFig.28•Loosenthe bevel lock knobend movethe sew
armto the leftto the desired bevel angle.
•Bevelangles can beset from 0° to 45 °.
•For yourconveniencethere is a doublescale
locatedon the mountingbracket. See Figure 27. If
one side becomes difficultto readas youmove
thesaw armto the left, simplyrefer to the other
side.Align the indicatorpointfor the side you
choosewith the desiredangle.
•Oncethe sew arm has been set atthe desired
angle, securelytightenthe bevel lock knob.
•Placethe workpiece fiaton the mitertable with
oneedge securelyagainst the fence. If the beard
iswarped, place the convexside against the
fence. Ifthe concave edge of a boardis placed
againstthe fence, the board could collapse on the
bladeat the end of the cut,jamming the blade.
See Figures33 and 34.
•When cuttinglong piecesof lumberor molding,
supportthe oppositeendof the stock with a roller
standor with a work surface level withthe sew
table.
Alignthe cuttingline on the workpiece with the
edge of sew blade.
Grasp the stockfirmlywith one hand and secure it
againstthe fence. Use the optionalworkclamp or
a C-clampto secure theworkpiecewhen pos-
sible.See Figure 28.
_1, WARNING: To avoidsedous personal injury,
keepyour hands outside the no handszone; at
least3 in.from blade. Never performanycutting
operationfreehand (withoutholdingworkpiece
againstthe fence). The bladecould grab the
workpieceifit slips or twists.
•Beforeturning onthe saw, performa dry run of
thecutting operationjust to make sure that no
problemswilloccurwhen thecut is made.
•Graspthe sew handle firmly,press the lock.offtab
down,then squeeze the switchtrigger. Allow
severalsecondsfor the blade to reach maximum
speed.
•Slowlylower theblade intoand through the
workpiece.See Figure 28.
•Releasethe switchtrigger and allow thesaw
bladeto stoprotating before raisingthe bladeout
ofworkpiece.Wait until the electricbrakestops

from mitertable.
COMPOUND MITER CUT
A compoundmitercut is a cutmade usinga miter
angleand abevel angle at thesame time. This type of
cutis used to make pictureframes,cut molding,make
boxeswith slopingsides, and for certainroof framing
cuts.
To make thistype of cutthe controlarm on the miter
table mustbe rotatedto the correctangle and thesaw
arm mustbe tiltedto the correctbevel angle. Care
shouldalways betaken when making compound miter
setupsdue to the interactionofthe two angle setings..
Adjustmentsofmiter and bevel settings are interde-
pendentwith one another. Each time you adjustthe
mitersetting you changethe effectof the bevel
setting.Also,each time you adjust the bevelsetting
youchange the effectof the miter setting.
It may take several settingsto obtain the desiredcut.
The firstanglesetting shouldbechecked after setting
thesecond angle, since adjustingthe second angle
affectsthe first.
Once thetwo correct settingsfor a particularcuthave
been obtained,always make a testcut in scrap
matedal beforemaking a finishcut in good matedaL
