C. Straight Bevel Cutting
Ensure the table is set to 0 O , and is
locked in place using the table
knob.
The bevel adjuster is factory set so
that when the head is tilted to its
fullest extent the blade will cut a
perfect 45° bevel.
If however you require any other
angle, you should proceed as
follows:
Cut a mitre of the required angle,
on a spare piece of wood, and use
this as a template for your bevel cut.
Slacken off the bevel locking lever by
turning it anticlockwise half a turn, then
swing the head to the side. Lower the arm,
and bring your template up to the saw
blade. When satisfied that the edge of
template and blade are parallel, lock the
head in position with locking lever. Your
angle is now set.
The procedure for cutting is the same as
that for cross cutting....press trigger, wait
for full speed to develop, push safety lever
to one side, then lower the blade to the
workpiece.
D. Compound Mitre and Bevel Cutting.
Having determined the angles you
require, firstly set the bevel angle,
using the procedure described
above, and then the mitre angle.
NOTE: Compound mitre and bevel
cuts, at a full 45°, can only be made
when the head is turned to the left.
The procedure for cutting is the same
as that for cross cutting.

As with Mitre Cutting, this is a cross cutting operation, except that the blade is not
perpendicular to the table, (see fig. 5).
