BEVEL CUTTING
Bevel cuts are made in the same manner as
crosscuts and rip cuts. The difference is that
the blade is set at an angle between 0° and
45° (Fig. 19).
The bevel cut made at an angle to the edge
of a board is called a compound cut. Certain
compound cuts may require you to manually
retract the telescoping guard to allow the blade
to enter into and/or through the cut.
Use the lever (A) Fig.
20 provided on the
telescoping guard when you have to retract
the telescoping guard manually.
POCKET CUTS (PLUNGE CUTTING)
A pocket cut is one which must be made
inside the area of the workpiece and not
starting from the edge. Mark the area clearly
with lines on all sides. Start near the corner of
one side and place the front edge of the saw
base firmly on the workpiece. Hold the saw up
so that the blade clears the material. Confirm
that you have adjusted the blade properly for
the depth-of-cut. Push the telescoping guard
lever all the way back so the blade is exposed
(Fig. 21).
Keep your hands and fingers
away from the blade.Start
the motor and lower the blade into the work.
After the blade has cut through, and the base
rests flat on the work, follow the line to the
corner.
Let the saw come to a complete stop before removing it from
the workpiece.
Use a keyhole or bayonet saw to cut clean corners.
