TO BEVEL CUT
See Figures 35 - 37.
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece 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.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust or remove the sliding
miter fence to insure proper clearance prior to making the
cut.
Make sure the slide lock knob is tightened securely.
Raise saw arm to its full height.
Lift the miter lock lever to unlock. Rotate the miter table
until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale.
Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.
Lift the bevel lock lever and move the saw arm to the left
or right to the desired bevel angle.
Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle,
push the bevel lock lever down to lock.
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 47 - 48.
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 40.
Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of
saw blade.
Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure
the workpiece when possible.
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut-
ting operation to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the switch lock
with thumb then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several
seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece
and removing the workpiece from the miter table.
