4. To disengage the detent override, pull the quick-cam miter
locking lever (1), pull the positive stop locking lever (3) up.
This will release the override lock and the table will now
stop at the positive detent angles.
BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
• Never
leave tool running unattended. Turn power OFF.
Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Make
workshop childproof. Lock the shop. Disconnect
master switches. Store tool away from children and
other unqualified users.
MITER CUT
(FIG. II)
The sliding compound miter saw is equipped with nine
positive miter stops (1) on the saw base. The locations
are at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6 and 45 degrees left and right.
These locations represent the most common angles
for cutting operation. To make a miter cut:
1. Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the quick-cam
miter locking lever (2).
2. While raising the positive stop locking lever (3) up, grasp
the miter handle (4) and rotate the miter table left or right
to the desired angle.
3. Release the positive stop locking lever and set the miter
at the desired angle making sure the lever snaps into
place.
NOTE: The lever will only lock into place at one
of the nine positive stops.
4. Once the desired miter angle is achieved, press down on
the quickcam miter table lock (2) to secure the table into
position.
5. If the miter angle desired is NOT one of the nine positive
stops noted above, simply lock the table at the desired
angle by pressing down on the quick-cam miter locking
lever (2).
6. Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the
table for prealignment of your cut.

WARNING
WARNING
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
.
• The sliding fence must be extended to the left when
making bevel cuts. The sliding fences note three
bevel angles where the user must adjust the fences
to match the degree of the bevel cut. Failure to
extend the sliding fence will not allow enough space
for the blade to pass through which could result in
serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the
saw blade may also contact the fence.
• The right side sliding fence must be removed when
making any right bevel angle cuts greater than 35° in
combination with any right hand miter angle. This fence
must also be removed whenever a 45° bevel angle is
desired with a miter angle greater than 22.5°.
1. When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel locking
handle (1) by turning it clockwise.
2. Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle, as shown on
the bevel scale (2).
3. The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90°
straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45° left bevel. Tighten
the bevel locking handle (1) to lock the cutting head in
position. Positive stops are provided at 0°, 33.9° and 45°.
NOTE
: The saw comes with a 33.9° bevel detent pin for
setting up crown molding cuts when the angle of the walls
equals 90°.
4. Turn the laser guide on and
position the workpiece
on the table for
pre-alignment
of your cut.
