OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
22. Bevel Cutting
A bevel cut is a cut made across the grain of the
work piece with the blade at an angle other than
90° to the miter table and the work piece. A straight
bevel cut is made with the miter table set at the 0°
position and with the saw head set at a bevel angle
between 0° and 48° left, or 0° and 46° right.
a. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b. Mark the cutting line on the work piece with a
pencil.
c. Make sure that the miter table is positioned at
0° and locked with the miter-control lever (P).
WARNING
• To avoid serious personal injury, always rotate
the bevel-lock knob (AA) to securely tighten it before making a cut. Failure to do so could
result in movement of the control arm or the miter table while making a cut.
d. Pull out the arm-lock pin (AC) to release the saw arm.
e. Release the bevel-lock knob (AA) and tilt the saw arm to the desired bevel angle as
indicated on the bevel scale. The blade can be positioned at any angle from a 90° straight
cut (0° on the scale) to a 46° right or a 48° left bevel.
NOTE: To obtain correct bevel angles, rotate the bevel-stop lever (I) to the other side to pull it
out, and tilt the saw to the desired angle.
NOTE: Use the bevel stop (W, Y) to quickly locate 33.9° and 45° bevel angles.
f. Rotate the bevel-lock knob to securely tighten it.
WARNING
• Loosen the sliding fence, and position the fence so that it will not interfere with the saw
assembly during the cut, and then re-tighten the fence.
g. Attach the battery pack to the saw.
h. Place the work piece flat on the miter table, with one edge securely against the fence. If
the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge of the
board is against the fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut and
jam the blade (see Cutting Warped Material).
i. Turn on the LED light switch and align the pencil line aligned with the blade's shadow line.
j. Use the work clamp (2) to secure the work piece against the miter saw table and fence.
k. When cutting a long work piece, use a block (not supplied) to support the long work piece.
WARNING
• Never use another person as an additional support for a work piece that is longer or wider
than the basic saw table, or to help feed, support, or pull the work piece.
• To avoid serious personal injury, always keep hands outside the "No-Hands Zone," as
marked on the saw base, or at least 3" (7.6 cm) away from the blade. Also, never perform
any cutting operation "freehand" (i.e., without holding the work piece against the fence),
because the blade could grab the work piece, causing it to slip and twist.
