TILTING CUTTINGHEAD FOR BEVEL

CUTTING

IMPORTANT: MOVE THE SLIDING FENCE TO THE

LEFT TO PROVIDE CLEARANCE FOR THE

BLADE AND GUARD. THE DEGREES OF TILT

DETERMINES HOW FAR TO MOVE THE SLIDING

FENCE. REFER TO THE SECTION “ADJUSTING

SLIDING FENCE.”

1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE

FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

2. The cuttinghead of your compound miter saw can be

tilted to cut any bevel angle from a 90° straight cut-

off to a 45° left bevel angle. Loosen bevel lock handle

(A) Fig. 18, tilt cuttinghead (B) to the desired angle,

and tightening lock handle (A).

3. Positive stops are provided to rapidly position the

saw blade at 90° and 45° to the table. Refer to the

section of this manual titled “Adjusting 0° and 45°

bevel positive stops.” The bevel angle of the cutting

arm is determined by the position of the pointer (C)

Fig. 19, on scale (D).

4. In addition, a marked indicator (M) is provided on the

bevel scale (33.9°) for cutting crown moulding. Refer

to the “CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” section of

this manual.

ADJUSTING SLIDING FENCE AND

WORK CLAMP

The high sliding fence (E) Fig. 20, provides support for

extra large workpieces used with your saw and should

always be set as close as possible to the saw blade.

When miter cutting (set blade 90° to the table and at an

angle to the right or left), the fence should be set all the

way toward the blade, (Fig. 20). When bevel cutting,

however (blade tilted at an angle to the table), the fence

(M) Fig. 21, and the work clamp (N) Fig. 21 should be

moved away from the blade to allow for proper clearance

for the saw blade and guard (L) Fig. 21.

To reposition the fence, loosen the thumb screw (K) Fig.

20, and slide the fence to the desired location and tighten

the thumb screw (K). To reposition the work clamp, loosen

the thumb screw (P) Fig. 21, and reposition to the work to

clear the blade and guard and tighten the thumb screw

(P).

MAKE SURE THAT FENCE (M) Fig. 21

AND WORK CLAMP (N) Fig. 21 ARE CLEAR OF

GUARD AND BLADE (L) Fig. 21 BEFORE OPERATING

SAW.
