lower guard.
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 turning table.
TO BEVEL CUT
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 turning 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 or remove the sliding fence to
insure proper clearance prior to making the cut. To adjust or remove
the sliding fence, loosen the sliding fence adjustment knob. Once
the desired position of the sliding fence is determined, tighten the
sliding fence adjustment knob to secure the sliding fence.
Slide the saw head to its most rearward position and tighten the
sliding lock knob securely.
Pull out the head lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
Lift the mitre lock lever, then depress and hold the mitre detent
release button to release the turning table.
Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator aligns with zero
on the mitre scale.
Release the mitre detent release button, then push the mitre
lock lever down to secure the turning table.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the
desired left bevel angle.
NOTE: To obtain right bevel angles, pull the single/ dual bevel
selector out and tilt the saw to the desired right bevel angle.
Left and right bevel angles can be set from 0° to 48°.
NOTE: Use the bevel stop turret to locate 33.9°, 45°, and 48°
bevel angles. See figure 25.
Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely
tighten the bevel lock knob.
Place the workpiece flat on the turning table 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 33 - 34.
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 25.
Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.
Press the LED button to project the blade's shadow onto the
workpiece.
Secure the stock against the fence firmly. Use the work clamp
or a C-clamp (not included) to secure the workpiece when
possible.
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation to make sure that no problems will occur when the
cut is made.
several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
Pull the lower guard lock out lever to right side to unlock the
lower guard.
Slowly lower the saw 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 turning table.
TO COMPOUND MITRE CUT
A compound mitre cut is a cut made using a mitre angle and a bevel
angle at the same time. This type of cut is used to make picture
frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping sides, and for certain
roof framing cuts.
To make this type of cut the control arm on the turning table must
be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be tilted to
the correct bevel angle. Care should always be taken when making
compound mitre setups due to the interaction of the two angle
settings.
Adjustments of mitre and bevel settings are interdependent with
one another. Each time you adjust the mitre setting you change
the effect of the bevel setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel
setting you change the effect of the mitre setting.
setting should be checked after setting the second angle, since
Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have been
obtained, always make a test cut in scrap material before making a
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust or remove the sliding fence to
insure proper clearance prior to making the cut.
Slide the saw head to its most rearward position and tighten the
sliding lock knob securely.
Pull out the head lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
Lift the mitre lock lever and depress the mitre detent release
button to release the turning table.
Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator aligns with the
desired angle on the mitre scale.
Release the mitre detent release button, then push the mitre
lock lever down to secure the turning table.
Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the
desired left bevel angle.
NOTE: To obtain right bevel angles, pull the single/ dual bevel
selector out and tilt the saw to the desired right bevel angle.
Left and right bevel angles can be set from 0° to 48°.
NOTE: Use the bevel stop turret to locate 33.9°, 45°, and 48°
bevel angles. See figure 25.
Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely
tighten the bevel lock knob.
Recheck mitre angle setting. Make a test cut in scrap material.
Place the workpiece flat on the turning table 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 33 - 34.
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 27.
Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.
Press the LED button to project the blade's shadow onto the
workpiece.
Secure the stock against the fence firmly. Use the work clamp
