Preparation to Cut Stock
1. Before cutting stock, verify that it fits the base and fence properly and secure in place.
The photos below show the proper way to lay the stock on the base for cutting. These
methods will keep the Saw Blade from binding with the stock, and keep it from rolling.
Use the Vertical Clamp to hold the stock in place for cutting.
2. Use the appropriate Saw Blade for the type of stock being cut. The Saw Blade
provided is used for cutting wood.
Caution: The Safety Cover (88) returns to its original position when the cut is completed
and the handle is raised. Never defeat or remove the Safety Cover.
3. Raise the cutting arm by pushing down slightly on the Handle (65), then pulling out the
Arm Release Button. See photo on the next page.
4. If making a vertical cut, verify that the Saw Blade is 90 degrees to the Table.
Adjust the Saw Blade angle by first loosening the Lever Rod (156) and turn the saw
blade left or right so that the bevel scale pointer is set to zero. See photo on the next
page.
5. If making miter cuts, raise the Handle (65) fully then loosen the handle Grip (128).
Push the handle Grip to adjust the Saw Blade to the desired angle ranging from 0 to
45 degrees, left or right (positive stops at 0 and 45 degrees). When adjusted, tighten
the handle Grip (128) again. Make sure that the Vertical Clamp is clear of the cutting
path.
6. If making bevel (angle) cuts, raise the Handle (65) fully and loosen the Lever Rod
(156) and push down on the Bevel Knob (146) to pass positive stops while moving the
Handle (and Saw Blade) to the desired angle (left or right). Use the Bevel Scale as a
guide. Tighten Lever Rod again.
Caution: Check that the Kerf Boards do not touch the Saw Blade. Adjust if necessary.
7. To slide the cutting arm backward, loosen the knob Screw (105), and slide the arm
back. Tighten the knob Screw again.
