Hold the workpiece firmly against the sandpaper face and make the cut. Let the blade stop spinning
before pulling the saw back. Always ensure the protractor is providing support next to the blade slot.
Sight up mitre cuts by opening the side guard and touching the stationary blade against the cutting
mark. Alternatively, attach sub-fences to your protractor as in
your sighting reference.

Remove the crosscut fence and lock the protractor in its slot, set
at the required angle. Tilt the blade to the desired angle.
RAISE THE TABLE, as the blade is no longer above the slot. Use
thin packing under the workpiece to raise it up to the blade.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the angled protractor face, and
keep fingers well clear of the blade. Avoid twisting the handgrip of
the saw as you push.
Bevel cuts put a lot of load on the workpiece and the saw. Make
sure the workpiece doesn't creep during the cut.
