TILTING CUTTINGHEAD FOR BEVEL
CUTTING
IMPORTANT: MOVE THE SLIDING FENCE TO THE
LEFT TO PROVIDE CLEARANCE FOR THE
BLADE AND GUARD. THE DEGREES OF TILT
DETERMINES HOW FAR TO MOVE THE SLIDING
FENCE. REFER TO THE SECTION “ADJUSTING
SLIDING FENCE.”
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE
FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
2. The cuttinghead of your compound miter saw can be
tilted to cut any bevel angle from a 90° straight cut-
off to a 45° left bevel angle. Loosen bevel lock handle
(A) Fig. 18, tilt cuttinghead (B) to the desired angle,
and tighten lock handle (A).
3. Positive stops are provided to rapidly position the
saw blade at 90° and 45° to the table. Refer to the
section of this manual titled “ADJUSTING 90° AND
45° BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS.” The bevel angle of
the cutting arm is determined by the position of the
pointer (C) Fig. 19, on scale (D).
4. In addition, a marked indicator (M) is provided on the
bevel scale (33.9°) for cutting crown moulding. Refer
to the “CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” section of
this manual.
ADJUSTING SLIDING FENCE
The high sliding fence Fig. 20, provides support for extra
large workpieces used with your saw and should always
be set as close as possible to the saw blade. When miter
cutting (set blade 90° to the table and at an angle to the
right or left), the fence should be set all the way toward
the blade, (Fig. 20). When bevel cutting, however (blade
tilted at an angle to the table), the fence (A) Fig. 21, should
be moved away from the blade to allow for proper
clearance for the saw blade and guard, (Fig. 21). To
reposition the fence, loosen the lock handle (B), and slide
the fence (A) to the desired location. Tighten the lock
handle (B).
NOTE: Lock handle (B) is spring-loaded and can be
repositioned. Pull up on handle to reposition it on the
serrated nut located underneath handle.
