ROTATING TABLE FOR MITER CUTTING

Your compound miter saw will cut any miter angle from

a straight 90 degree cut-off to 45 degrees right and left.

Simply loosen table lock knob (A) Fig. 13, and using the

switch handle as a grip, rotate the cutting arm until the

pointer (B) aligns with the desired setting on the miter

scale (C). Then tighten table lock knob (A).

WARNING: LOCK KNOB (A) MUST BE TIGHT-

ENED FOR ALL CUTTING OPERATIONS.

Your compound miter saw contains positive stops for

the table at the 0, 22-1/2, 30 and 45 degree right and left

positions. Two triangle indicators (D) Fig. 14, are also

provided to rapidly set the table at the 31-5/8 degree

right and left miter angle for cutting crown moulding, as

explained later in this manual.

TILTING CUTTING ARM

FOR BEVEL CUTTING

Loosen bevel cutting lock handle (A) Fig. 15, tilt cutting

arm to the desired bevel angle and tighten lock handle

(A). NOTE: Lock handle (A) is spring-loaded and can be

re-positioned by pulling out on the handle and reposi-

tioning it on the serrated stud located underneath the

handle.

WARNING: LOCK HANDLE (A) MUST BE TIGHT-

ENED DURING ALL CUTTING OPERATIONS.

The bevel angle of the cutting arm is determined by the

position of the pointer (B) Fig. 15, on the large scale (C).

A triangle indicator (D) is provided to rapidly position the

cutting arm at the 33-7/8 degree left bevel angle which

is used for cutting crown moulding, as explained later in

this manual.

STARTING AND STOPPING SAW

IMPORTANT: Before starting the saw, lower the cutting arm and make certain the saw blade does not come in contact

with the front edge or rear edge of the table insert on its full downward travel. The downward travel of the cutting arm

has been set at the factory; however, sometimes due to rough handling during shipment or extended use, a minor

adjustment to the setting may become necessary. If the saw blade contacts the table insert, refer to section “ADJUST-

ING DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE.”

To turn the saw “ON” push in on switch lock key (A) Fig. 12, and depress switch trigger (B). To turn the saw “OFF”

release switch trigger (B).
