Saw Operations

Bevel Cut

A bevel cut is made at 0° miter and any bevel angle in the range of 0° to 47°.

There are two (2) factory set bevel stops at 0° and 45°. (See Adjustment section if adjustments are required.)

The bevel scale faces the operator for easy reading.

The bevel lock handle is spring loaded and can be repositioned by pulling handle out, rotating to desired position and engaging by releasing for use in tight spaces.

Use sliding base/fence as appropriate. (See Sliding Base/Fence Extension page 50.)

Follow these instructions for making your bevel cut:

!When bevel cutting remember to “lock” WARNING cutting head in every position before

proceeding, so head does not unexpectedly shift in use.

1.Move the sliding fence to proper position 1. (See Sliding Fence on page 50.)

2.Loosen the bevel lock handle. Tilt the head assembly to desired bevel angle 2. Tighten the bevel lock handle (Figure 29).

3.Properly position workpiece 3. Make sure work piece is clamped 4 firmly against the table and the fence 5.

!WARNING Use clamping position that does not interfere with operation. Before switching

on, lower head assembly to make sure clamp clears guard and head assembly.

4.Activate the switch. Lower the head assembly and make your cut.

5.Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before returning head assembly to the raised position and/or removing workpiece.
