 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the switch lock
with thumb then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow sev-
eral seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
 Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
 Release the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.
Wait until the blade stops before removing the
workpiece from the miter table.
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figures 24 - 25.
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece with the blade angled to the workpiece. A
straight bevel cut is made with the miter table set at the
zero degree position and the blade set at an angle be-
tween 0° and 45°.
 Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
 Lift the miter lock lever.
 Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero
on the miter scale.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0° as you rotate the
control arm. The miter table will seat itself in one of the
positive stop index points, located in base.
 Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to
the left to the desired bevel angle.
 Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.
 Align the indicator point for the desired angle.
 Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle,
securely tighten the bevel lock knob.
 Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one
edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence. If the concave
edge of a board is placed against the fence, the board
could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jam-
ming the blade.
 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, sup-
port the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand
or with a work surface level with the saw table. See
Figure 28.
 Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of
saw blade.
 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a
C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation just to make sure that no problems
will occur when the cut is made.
 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the switch lock
with thumb then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow
several seconds for the blade to reach maximum
speed.
