BEVELCUT
_1, WARNING: To avoid sedous personal injury, keep your hands outside the no hands zone; at least 3 in. from blade. Never performany cutting
operation freehand (without holdingworkpiece againstthe fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
•Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operationjust to make sure that no problemswill occurwhen the cut is made.
•Grasp the sew handle firmly, press the lock.off tab down, then squeeze the switchtrigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum
speed.
•Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece. See Figure 28.
•Release the switchtrigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotatingbefore raisingthe blade out
of workpiece.Wait until the electricbrake stops blade from turningbefore removingthe workpiece from miter table.
COMPOUND MITER CUT

•Loosen the bevel lock knobend move the sew arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.
•Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45 °.
•For your conveniencethere is a double scale located on the mountingbracket. See Figure27. If one side becomes difficultto read as you move the saw arm to the left, simplyrefer to the other side. Align the indicatorpoint for the side you choose with the desired angle.
•Once the sew arm has been set at the desired angle, securelytighten the bevel lock knob.
•Place the workpiece fiat on the miter table with one edge securelyagainst the fence. If the beard is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed against the fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade. See Figures 33 and 34.
•When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
supportthe oppositeend of the stock with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the sew table.
Alignthe cuttingline on the workpiece with the edge of sew blade.
Grasp the stockfirmlywith one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the optionalwork clamp or a
Acompound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used to make pictureframes, cut molding, make boxes with slopingsides, and for certainroof framing cuts.
To make this type of cut the controlarm on the miter table must be rotatedto the correctangle and the saw arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care shouldalways be taken when making compound miter setups due to the interactionof the two angle setings..
Adjustmentsof miter and bevel settingsare interde- pendent with one another. Each time you adjustthe miter setting you change the effect of the bevel setting.Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you change the effect of the miter setting.
It may take several settingsto obtain the desired cut. The first angle setting shouldbe checked after setting the second angle, since adjustingthe second angle affects the first.
Once the two correct settingsfor a particularcut have been obtained, always make a test cut in scrap matedal before makinga finishcut in good matedaL
