Adjusting the Miter Angle
A miter cut is one that is at an angle 1.
across the horizontal surface of the
material. You will commonly make
45º miter cuts to join two pieces in a
right angle corner. A 30º cut is often
used for a scarf joint or to make a
chamfered end.
To make a miter cut, loosen the Miter 2.

desired angle. The Miter Angle
Indicator will indicate the selected
angle. The table will lock into place
at often used miter angles, including
22.5º, 30º, 45º, and 90º on both left
and right sides.
With the Table adjusted to the desired 3.
against the Fence, secure it with the
Hold Down Clamp and make the cut.
Adjusting the Bevel Angle
A bevel cut is one that is at an angle 1.
to the vertical plane of the material.
Bevel cuts can be used to miter 2.
relatively wide and thin material.
Bevel cuts can be used in
combination with a miter cut to form
a compound angle. Compound angle
cuts are often used in crown, picture
frames and similar trim materials.
To set the bevel angle, loosen the 3.
the saw. (See Figure 2.) To do this,
the Handle 1/2 turn counterclockwise.
Move the blade assembly left to the
desired angle. You can read the
angle on the Bevel Angle Indicator.

Make a sample cut in a piece of scrap 4.
and check to be sure the bevel angle
is correct. If it is not, correct the angle
before cutting your work material.
Using the Depth Stop
1.
rabbet cut which does not cut through
the work piece, you can use the
Depth Stop Bolt to control the depth
of the cut. (See Figure 2.)
To limit blade assembly travel, turn 2.
the Depth Stop Bolt clockwise. The
further you screw down the Depth
Stop Screw, the shallower the cut will
be.
After the desired cut has been 3.
made, return the Depth Stop Screw
to its open position by turning it
counterclockwise.
