▶ Bevel Cuts
Bevel range selector knob
– This saw has a
front control on the right side of the table
arm. This is called the bevel range selector
knob (item 41 – page 12). It is linked to stops
and locking mechanisms in the rear which
control the tool’s ability to quickly and
accurately be positioned to make bevel cuts.
There are positive stops at the important 45°
left, 0° (vertical), and 45° right angles (see
Figure 49).

▼ USING THE BEVEL RANGE SELECTOR
KNOB
Bevel Range 1 = 0-45° Left
This left-side bevel range is the default setting.
To operate in Bevel Range 1:
1.
Move the left sliding fence out to clear saw
assembly and relock (Figure 51).
2.
Lift bevel lock lever above table height with
left hand.
3.
Grasp the main handle with the right hand
and tilt the saw assembly to the angle
desired.
4.
Once in the desired bevel position, hold the
saw assembly with right hand and use left
hand to fully press down the bevel lock lever
below table height.
NOTE: Without turning the saw “ON,” perform
a dry cut to make sure the fence clears the
guards and adjust if necessary.
Bevel Range 2 = 0-45° Right
To operate in Bevel Range 2:
1.
Move the right sliding fence out to clear saw
assembly and relock (see Figure 51).
2.
Lift bevel lock lever above table height with
the left hand.
3.
Grasp the main handle with the left hand and
tilt the saw assembly slightly to the left while
rotating the spring-loaded bevel range
selector knob with the right hand so the
knob’s indicator points to “0-45° Right” as on
the label.
4.
Once in the desired bevel position, hold the
saw assembly with right hand and use left
hand to fully press down the bevel lock lever
below table height.
NOTE: When the saw assembly is tilted back to
left past 0°, the bevel control knob will snap
back to the default bevel range 1. This is
designed to regain the preset bevel stop at the
important 0° position.
Bevel Range 3 = Max. Bevel Angle to 47° Left or
Right
This full-capacity bevel range setting overrides
all preset stops and allows for cutting at bevel
angles beyond the normal 45° on either side.
