OPERATION

MAKING A BEVEL CROSS CUT

See Figures 39 - 40.

It is recommended that you place the piece to be saved on the left side of the blade and that you make a test cut on scrap wood.

WARNING:

Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.

Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking lever.

Unlock the bevel locking lever and move height/bevel adjusting handwheel until bevel indicator is at desired angle.

Push the bevel locking lever toward the table to relock.

Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.

Set miter gauge to 0° and tighten the lock knob.

Place a support (the same height as saw table) behind the saw for the cut work.

Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning on the saw.

Let the saw blade build up to full speed before moving the miter gauge and the workpiece into the blade.

Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands and feed the workpiece into the blade.

NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be placed on the miter gauge lock knob and the hand farthest from the blade should be placed on the workpiece.

When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the workpiece.
