Sliding Fence
The sliding fence must be
extended to the left or right when making bevel
cuts. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Failure to extend the sliding fence will not allow
enough space for the blade to pass through. This
could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or
bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the
fence resulting in damage to equipment as well as
personal injury.
To adjust the sliding fence (refer to Figure 24):
1. Unlock
the
fence cam locking lever
(A) (shown
locked in Figure 24) by pushing it toward the
rear of the machine.
2. Extend the
fence
(B) by sliding it out (C) to
ensure that the blade will clear the fence for
degree of the bevel cut selected. Lock the
fence cam locking lever
(A) as shown.
Note:
Secure the sliding fence in position closest to
the saw blade when transporting the saw.
Sliding Carriage System
To reduce the risk of injury,
return carriage to the full rear position after
each crosscut operation.
For chop cutting operations on small
workpieces, slide the cutting head assembly
completely toward the rear of the unit and
tighten the
carriage lock knob
(A, Fig. 25).
To cut wide boards up to 12 in., the
carriage lock
knob
(A, Fig. 25) should be loosened to allow the
cutting head to slide freely.
To avoid injury from materials
being thrown, always unplug the saw to avoid
accidental starting, and remove small pieces of
material from the table cavity. The table insert
may be removed for this purpose, but always
reattach the table insert prior to performing a
cutting operation.
Miter Cut
Referring to Figure 26:
The sliding compound miter saw has ten positive
miter stop detents (A) located on the saw base.
The stops represent the following miter cut angles:
0, 15, 22.5, 31.6 and 45 degrees left and right, and
60° right. To make a miter cut:
1. Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the quick-
cam
miter table lock
(E).
2. Raise
the
positive stop locking lever
(C) up, at the
Figure 24
