Mitre Saw

Page  7

To stop at the one of the preset lock positions, release the mitre stop lever just before reaching the 

angle, the mitre stop will click as it locks into position. Can you change the spelling of Mitre in the 

caption?!

To set the mitre angle to ½ degree between the primary 

angles, line up the ½° Vernier indices with the adjacent 

angle index marks. (The example below shows 20 ½°)

3. When the desired mitre angle is set, engage the mitre lock by pressing down on the mitre lock 

lever.

Setting the Bevel Angle

A beveled cut is where the saw head is tilted to the left or right from vertical. The saw is capable of 

beveling up to 47° to the left and right. 

The bevel range selector engages a series of angle stops. The selector has three settings. The first 

setting, (0-45°) limits the bevel travel between 0 degrees and 45 degrees to the left. The second 

setting (±45°) limits the bevel travel between 45 degrees to the left and 45 degrees to the right. The 

last setting (±47°) limits the bevel travel to the full extent of the saw, which is 47 degrees to the left 

and to the right.

1. Release the bevel lock by lifting the lever. 

2. As necessary, turn the bevel range selector to the desired range. 

3. Rotate the bevel adjustment knob until the bevel index pointer is pointing to the desired angle. 

(There is a duplicate pointer on either side of the saw.) 

4. Lower the bevel lock lever.
