Miter Cut
When a miter cut is required, move the
saw to the desired angle. Move with the
handle to the miter angle to make the cut.
There are settings on the miter scale for
angles (degrees) and crown molding.
NOTE: Remember to unlock the miter
lock lever before changing the miter
angle.
Miter Scale Usage
Vernier Miter Scale Operation:
The Vernier miter scale can quickly and
accurately help the user to adjust the saw
to any 1/4° increment as illustrated below.
Bevel Cut
When a bevel cut is required tilt the blade
to desired bevel angle. Stand to the left
side of the handle to make the cut.
Sliding Fence
When beveling the blade to the left or
right fence may have to be repositioned.
Loosen the fence locking knob and slide
the fence to the left or right as needed.
Adjust the fence as close to the guard and
link as possible to provide maximum sup-
port for the workpiece. Securely tighten
knob and make a dry run with the saw off
to check for clearance between the fence
and guard. On certain extreme compound
cuts it may be necessary to remove a slid-
ing fence to avoid interference. After com-
pleting bevel cut(s) remember to replace
and/or slide the fence back.
Vernier Bevel Scale Operation:
The Vernier bevel scale can quickly and
accurately help the user to adjust the saw
to any 1/2° increment as illustrated.
