OPERATION
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figures 35 - 37.
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade angled to the workpiece. A straight bevel cut is made with the miter table set at the zero degree position and the blade set at an angle.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust or remove the sliding miter fence to insure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
Make sure the slide lock knob is tightened securely.
Raise saw arm to its full height.
Lift the miter lock lever to unlock. Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.
Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.
Lift the bevel lock lever and move the saw arm to the left or right to the desired bevel angle.
Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, push the bevel lock lever down to lock.
Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board 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 47 - 48.
When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 40.
Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.
Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the work clamp or a
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut- ting operation to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.
Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the switch lock with thumb then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece and removing the workpiece from the miter table.
