TO BEVEL CUT
See Figures 36 - 38.
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
between 0° and 45°.
[] Unplug the saw.
[] Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
[] Loosen the miter lock handle.
[] Lift the miter lock plate to disengage.
[] 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 base.
[] Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
[] Adjustments of the miter fence must be made to cor-
respond to the desired angle of the bevel cut prior to
tilting the saw arm. The fence is marked for 0°, 15°,
30 °, or 45° . Loosen the fence screw on the miter fence,
slide the fence to the desired position, and retighten
the fence screw.
[] The 45° triangle on the miter fence provides for the
maximum clearance required for adjusting the miter
saw's angle when making a bevel or compound cut.

[] Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to
the left or right to the desired bevel angle.
NOTE: The bevel stop pin has two positions: 1) over-
ride (pin pulled completely out), and 2) the 0 ° - 48 °
position for crown molding (pin pushed in).
[] Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.
[] Align the indicator point for the desired angle.
[] 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, jam-
ming the blade.
[] 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.
[] 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 or use the work clamp or a C-clamp
to secure the workpiece.
[] Plug the saw into the power source. Before turning on
the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just
to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut
is made.
[] Grasp the saw handle firmly then squeeze the switch
trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach
maximum speed.
[] Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
