1.The cuttinghead of your compound miter saw can be tilted to cut any bevel angle from a 90 degree straight
2.Positive stops are provided to rapidly position the saw blade at 90 and 45 degrees to the table. Refer to the section of this manual titled “Adjusting 90 and 45 degree bevel positive stops.” The bevel angle of the cutting arm is determined by the position of the pointer (C) Fig. 24, on scale (D).

ADJUSTING SLIDING FENCE
The high sliding fence (A) Fig. 25A, provides support for extra large workpieces used with your saw and should always be set as close as possible to the saw blade. When miter cutting (blade set 90 degrees to the table and at an angle to the right or left), the fence should be set all the way toward the blade, (Fig. 25A). When bevel cutting, however (blade tilted at an angle to the table), the fence (A) Fig. 25B, should be moved away from the blade to allow for proper clearance for the saw blade and guard, (Fig. 25B). To accomplish this movement, loosen the lock handle (B), and slide the fence (A) to the desired location. Tighten the lock handle (B).
