TILTING THE CUTTINGHEAD FOR BEVEL CUTTING
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.
19, tilt the cutting arm to the desired angle, and tighten
the lock handle (A).
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° DEGREE
BEVEL STOPS.” The bevel angle of the cutting arm is
determined by the position of the pointer (B) Fig. 19 on
the scale (C).
In addition, a triangle indicator is provided on the
bevel scale for cutting crown moulding. Refer to the
“CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” section of this
manual.
ALWAYS tighten the bevel lock handle (A) FIG. 19 securely before operating the saw.

limited to prevent the saw blade from contacting any
metal surfaces of the machine. This adjustment is
made by loosening the locknut (A) Fig. 20, and
turning the adjusting screw (B) in or out.
2. Lower the blade as far as possible. Rotate the blade
by hand to ensure that the teeth do not contact any
metal surfaces. Adjust if necessary.
3. After the downward travel of the saw blade has been
adjusted, tighten the locknut (A)
