OPERATION
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figures 24 - 26.
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the work-
piece with the blade angled to the workpiece. A straight bevel
cut is made with the miter table set at the zero degree position
and the blade set at an angle between 0° and 48°.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the sliding miter fence
to assure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock han-
dle approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.
Press the miter lock plate down with your thumb and
hold.
Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero
on the miter scale.
Release the miter lock plate.
NOTE: You can quickly locate zero by releasing the lock
plate as you rotate the control arm. The lock plate will seat
itself in one of the built-in positive stop notches, located
in the miter table frame.
Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to
the left to the desired bevel angle.
Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 48°.
NOTE: Turn the bevel override clockwise to gain an extra
3° on the bevel angle (from 45° to 48°) of the cut.
Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle,
securely tighten the bevel lock knob.
Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place
the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge
of a board is placed against the fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the
blade. See Figures 31 and 32.
When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 29.
Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of
saw blade.
