OPERATION
TO MAKE A BEVEL CROSS CUT
See Figures 53 - 54.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious possible injury.
Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking lever.
Turn the bevel lock lever to the right to unlock it then turn the bevel adjusting handwheel until the bevel indicator is at the desired angle.
Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece and push the bevel lock lever to the left to relock it. Retighten the blade height lock knob.
Set miter gauge to 90° and tighten the miter gauge 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.

WARNING:
The rip fence must be on the right side of the blade to avoid trapping the wood and causing kickback. Placement of the rip fence to the left of the blade will result in kickback and the risk of serious personal injury.
