TILTING CUTTINGHEAD FOR BEVEL CUTTING
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
IMPORTANT: Move the sliding fence to provide clearance for the blade and guard. The degree of tilt determines how far to move the sliding fence. Refer to the section “ADJUSTING SLIDING FENCE.”
1.The cuttinghead can be tilted to cut any bevel angle from 90° to 45° left bevel. Loosen the bevel lock handle (A) Fig. 21, tilt the cuttinghead (B) to the desired angle, and tighten the lock handle (A).
2.Positive stops are provided to rapidly position the saw blade at 90° and 45°. Refer to the section of this manual titled “ADJUSTING 90° AND 45° BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS.” The bevel angle of the cutting arm is determined by the position of the pointer (C) Fig. 22 on scale (D).
3.In addition, a marked indicator (E) Fig. 22 is provided on the bevel scale (33.9°) for cutting crown moulding. Refer to the “CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” section of this manual.

ADJUSTING SLIDING FENCE
The sliding fence (A) Fig. 23 provides support for extra large workpieces used with your saw. Set it as close as possible to the saw blade. When miter cutting (blade 90° to the table and at an angle to the right or left), set the fence all the way toward the blade (Fig. 23). When bevel cutting, however (blade tilted at an angle to the table), move the fence (A) Fig. 24 far enough away from the blade to allow for proper clearance. To reposition the fence, loosen the lock handle (B), and slide the fence (A) to the desired location. Tighten the lock handle (B).
