Bevel Cutting
Lock the arm in the cross cutting position.
Raise the motor by rotating the elevation
crank. Release the bevel clamp and the
bevel index pin and tilt the motor in the
yoke. The bevel angle is shown on the bevel
scale. Release the bevel index pin and lock
the bevel clamp. Lower the arm into cutting
position. Adjust the arm stop to assure
clearance between blade and base. Pull the
saw through as you would for cross cutting.
Compound Miter Cutting
The compound miter is merely a combination
of the bevel cut and the miter cut. Set up the
machine for bevel cutting. Release the arm
clamp handle and the miter latch handle.
Move the arm into the required position and
lock the miter latch and arm clamp. Adjust
arm stop to assure clearance between blade
and base. Pull the blade through as you
would for cross cutting.

the return spring counter clockwise or to the left until you have enough slack in the cable to remove a winding.
