SIDE SUPPORTS

This machine has two side supports to help stabilize the machine, and to help support long or wide workpieces.

The supports are located on either side of the table. The machine comes with the supports in the saw (Fig. 20A). To

utilize the supports, pull them out to their full length (Fig. 20B).

A rear support bar (A) Fig. 18 is provided to prevent the machine from tipping to the rear when the cuttinghead is

returned to the “up” position. For maximum support, the bar (A) Fig. 19 should be pulled out as far as possible. The

stabilizer bar (A) Fig. 20 can also be used to carry the machine.

Fully extend the stabilizer bar before operating the saw.

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.

17, tilt the cutting arm to the desired angle, and tighten

the lock handle (A).

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 90° AND 45° DEGREE

BEVEL STOPS.” The bevel angle of the cutting arm is

determined by the position of the pointer (B) Fig. 17 on

the scale (C).

In addition, a triangle indicator is provided on the bevel

scale at 33.86° for cutting crown moulding. Refer to the “CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” section of this manual.
