5. Wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop before returning the head assembly
to the raised position and/or removing
workpiece.
Bevel Cut
A bevel cut is made at 0° miter and any
•
bevel angle in the range of 0° to 48°.
There are factory-set bevel stops at 0°,
•
22.5°, 45°, and 48°. (See Adjustment
section if adjustments are required.)
For maximum support, the sliding fence
•
must always be as close to the blade as
possible without interfering with head
assembly. (See ADJUSTMENT, Sliding
Fence, if necessary.)
The bevel scale faces the operator for easy
•
reading.
Use table extensions as appropriate. (See
•
Table Extension.)
WARNING
cutting head in position before proceeding, so
that the head does not unexpectedly shift in
use.
1. Move the sliding fence 1 to the proper
position (position (see ADJUSTMENT,
Sliding Fence).)
2. Extend the table extension on the side of
the table where hand support is needed to
properly support the workpiece (see Table
Extension).
Compound Cuts
A compound cut is a cut that requires both
•
a miter setting and a bevel setting.
Because it may take several tries to obtain the
•
desired compound angle, perform test cuts on
scrap material before making your cut.
1. Move the sliding fence to the proper
position 1 (See ADJUSTMENT, Sliding
Fence). It may be necessary to completely
remove one of the sliding fences for a cut
with extreme angles.
2. Extend the table extension 2 on the side of
the table where hand support is needed to
properly support the workpiece (see Table
Extension).

1. Before switching on the tool, lower the
head assembly on the saw to make sure
that the clamp clears the guard and the
head assembly.
2. Activate the switch. Lower the head
assembly and make your cut.
