the ten positive stops.
4. Once the desired mitre angle is achieved, press down
on the quick cam mitre table lock to secure the table into
position.
5. If the mitre angle desired is NOT one of the ten positive
stops noted above, simply lock the table at the desired
angle by pressing down on the quick-cam mitre table lock (2).
Bevel Cut (Fig. 18)
WARNING: The sliding fence must be extended to the left
or right 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 mitre 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 º in
combination with any right hand mitre angle.
This fence must also be removed whenever a 45 º bevel
angle is desired with a mitre angle greater than 22.5
º
.
Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle as shown on the
bevel scale. The blade can be positioned at any angle, from
a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45° left and right bevel.
Tighten the lock handle (1) by pushing down to lock the
cutting head in position. Bevel positive stops are provided at
0°, 33.9° and 45°.
Compound Cut (Fig. 19)
1. Extending the fence by sliding it out to the required
location or remove the right sliding fence if necessary.
2. Set the desired bevel angle using the bevel lock handle (2).
3. Set the desired mitre angle and lock into position. See
“MITRE CUT”.
Base Moulding Cut (Fig. 20)
1. Base moulding can be cut vertical against fence or flat on
the table. Follow the table below for reference.
Crown Moulding Cut (Fig. 21)
1. Crown moulding can only be cut flat on the table for this
mitre saw.
2. This mitre saw has special mitre stops of 31.6° left
and right and a bevel stop of 33.9° for a special crown
moulding, i.e. 52° between the back of the moulding
and the top flat surface that fits against the ceiling;
38° between the back of the moulding and the bottom flat
surface that fits against the wall. Refer to the following
table for this crown moulding cut.

NOTE:
1. These special stops can not be used with 45° crown
moulding.
2. Since most rooms do not have angles of exactly 90°, fine
tune is needed and always take a test cut to confirm the
correct angles.
Pullover Cut (Fig. 22)
WARNING!
1. Never pull the cutting head assembly and spinning
blade toward you during the cut. The blade may try
to climb up on the top of the workpiece, causing the
cutting head assembly and spinning blade to kick
back.
2. Never lower spinning saw blade down before pulling
the cutting head to the front of the saw.
1. Unlock the carriage lock handle (1) and allow the cutting
head assembly to move freely.
2. Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the mitre angle
and lock into position.
3. If bevel cutting, set both the left and right sliding fences (2)
to their proper location.
4. Use a hold down clamp to secure the workpiece.
5. Grasp the saw handle (3) and pull the carriage (4) forward
until the centre of the saw blade is over the front of the
workpiece (5).
6. Pull the trigger (6) to turn the saw on.
7. When the saw reaches full speed, push the saw handle
down, slowly, cutting through the leading edge of the
workpiece.
8. Slowly move the saw handle toward the fence, completing
the cut.
9. Release the trigger and allow the blade to stop spinning
before allowing the cutting head to raise.
