Fig. B
RAISING/LOWERING THE SAW ARM
The saw arm needs to be raised up before operation and
locked down for transporting and storing.
To raise saw arm from the lower position:
1.Holding operating handle (Fig. 2 - 1), lightly press down
on the saw arm and pull out the release bolt (Fig. 2 - 2).
2. Slowly raise the saw arm to the upper position.
To lower saw arm from the upper position:
1. Holding the operating handle (Fig. 2 - 1), pull out the
release knob (Fig. 2 - 2).
2. Slowly lower the saw arm to the lower position and push
the release bolt into the hole.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
The saw arm can bevel from 0° to 45° to the left and right.
1. As viewed from the rear of the saw, loosen the bevel lock
knob (Fig. 2 - 3) by turning it counterclockwise.
2. The saw is equipped with a bevel pin (Fig. B - 1) to provide
positive stops are specific bevel angles. With the bevel pin
fully pushed in, the saw will only bevel to the left and has a
positive stop at 0° and 33°. To move past the 33° positive
stop and bevel 45° to the left, pull out the bevel pin.
3. Tilt the saw arm until the bevel angle indicator points to
the desired angle on the bevel scale (Fig. 3 - 1).
4. To bevel to the right, slightly bevel the saw head to the
left and pull out the bevel one step. With the bevel pin pulled
out one step, there is a positive stop at 6°. To fully bevel to
the right, further pull out the bevel pin.
NOTE:
If the bevel pin is stuck, slightly bevel the saw head
in opposite direction that you are trying to bevel and pull
out the pin.
5. Tighten the bevel lock knob by turning it clockwise. Be
sure to tighten firmly without over-tightening.
SETTING UP ARM SLIDE
The saw arm can be adjusted to different lengths using the
slide bar, and can slide back and forth when cross-cutting.
For sliding cuts:
Loosen the sliding bar lock knob (Fig. 3 -
2) and slide the saw arm to desired position.
For non-sliding cuts and transportation:
Tighten the slid-
ing bar lock knob (Fig. 3 - 2) for non-sliding operations and
before transporting the miter saw.
