▶ Bevel Cuts
For bevel cutting, adjust
sliding fence clear of
blade path and guard system.
▼ BEVEL ANGLE STOPS AND DETENTS
•
The saw has bevel angle stops that
accurately stop at critical angles: 45° left,
0°, and 45°. It comes factory-set and should
not need to be adjusted. However, after
extensive use or if the tool has received a
hard impact, it may require an adjustment.
•
The saw has a bevel angle detent pin which
can only be engaged at 33.9° left or right -
this is the bevel angle required when cutting
38° “spring angle” crown molding flat on the
table. NOTE: If the bevel detent pin
automatically engages at 33.9° and prevents
tilting the saw to another angle, simply pull
it to the front and rotate its cross pin 1/4
turn so it rests in the disengaged position. If
pin is sticking in, tilt and rock saw head side
to side as you pull on it (see Figure 52).

▼ SETTING SAW TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT
1.
Lift up the bevel lock lever to unlock (see
item 14 – page 11).
2.
Choose the desired bevel range using the
bevel range selector knob. NOTE: If in the 0°
position and moving to “0-45° Range,” it
may be necessary to move the head
assembly slightly to the left before the
selector knob can be turned.
3.
Grasp the main handle and tilt the saw head
assembly to the desired angle while
watching one of the bevel angle pointers –
watch the right pointer when tilting to the
left or the left pointer when tilting to the
right.
4.
Continue to hold saw and push down on the
bevel lock lever (with your left hand) to lock.
Let go of tool.
5.
Follow the chop cut or slide cut procedures
in this manual.
