2.To make a miter cut, loosen the Miter Lock Knob by turning it approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Press down the Thumb Lever to unlock the Table. While holding the Thumb Lever down, move the Table to the desired angle. The Miter Angle Indicator will indicate the selected angle. The table will lock into place at often used miter angles, including 22.5º, 30º, 45º, and 90º on both left and right sides.
3.With the Table adjusted to the desired angle, place the work piece flush against the Fence, secure it with the Hold Down Clamp and make the cut.
Adjusting the Bevel Angle
1.A bevel cut is one that is at an angle to the vertical plane of the material.
2.Bevel cuts can be used to miter relatively wide and thin material. Bevel cuts can be used in combination with a miter cut to form a compound angle. Compound angle cuts are often used in crown moldings, picture frames and similar trim materials.
3.To set the bevel angle, loosen the Bevel Lock Handle at the rear of the saw. To do this, press in the Lock Button and rotate the Handle 1/2 turn counterclockwise. Move the blade assembly left to the desired angle. You can read the angle on the Bevel Angle Indicator. Lock the blade assembly into position by pressing in the Lock Button and rotating the Bevel Lock Handle clockwise. Tighten firmly but not
4.Make a sample cut in a piece of scrap and check to be sure the bevel angle
is correct. If it is not, correct the angle before cutting your work material.
Using the Depth Stop
1.If you want to make a kerfing or rabbet cut which does not cut through the work piece, you can use the Depth Stop Screw to control the depth of the cut.
2.To limit blade assembly travel, turn the Depth Stop Screw clockwise. The further you screw down the Depth Stop Screw, the shallower the cut will be.
3.After the desired cut has been made, return the Depth Stop Screw to its open position by turning it counterclockwise.
Making a Cut
1.Observe all safety and planning items discussed in this booklet. Detailed instructions on each of the following steps are discussed in this booklet. Do not make any cuts until you have read this entire booklet and are familiar with the operation of this tool.
2.Release the Locking Pin to allow the blade assembly to come up. Check to be sure the Table is fixed in place at the desired miter angle. Check to be sure the slide lock is released to allow the blade assembly to slide freely.
3.Blow any sawdust or debris away from the Fence. Place the work material against the Fence.
4.Make any necessary miter or bevel adjustments.
