Preparation to Cut Stock

1.Before cutting stock, verify that it fits the base and fence properly and secure in place.

The photos on the next page show the proper way to lay the stock on the base for cutting. These methods will keep the Saw Blade from binding with the stock, and keep it from rolling. Use the Clamp (123) to hold the stock in place for cutting.

2.Use the appropriate Saw Blade for the type of stock being cut. The Saw Blade provided is used for cutting wood.

3.Raising the cutting arm: Push down slightly on the cutting arm while pulling out and turning (1/4 turn) the Arm Lock Button (see photo page 7). Once lock is released, lift the cutting arm.

4.If making a vertical cut, verify that the Saw Blade is 90 degrees to the Table (103). Use a tri-square (not included) against the Saw Blade and make adjustment using Adjusting Handle (73) (see photo page 7). Adjust the Saw Blade angle (see page 10).

5.If making bevel cuts, loosen the Adjusting Handle (73) and adjust the Saw Blade to the desired angle ranging from 0 to 45 degrees (positive stops at 0 and 45 degrees). Note: The 45 degree positive stop is adjustable. When adjusted, tighten Adjusting Handle again.

6.If making angle cuts, loosen the table Locking Pin (88), and push down on the Handle

(107)lever to pass positive stops while moving the Handle to the desired angle (positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 30, and 45 degrees - left and right). Use the degrees Miter Scale (116) on the Base (118) as a guide. Tighten Locking Pin.

7.To slide the cutting arm backward, loosen the Bevel Knob (100), and slide the arm back. Tighten the Bevel Knob. See photo at the bottom of page 6.

8.Plug the Power Cord Plug (64) plug into the electrical outlet.
