direction, enter it as a piece with square cuts on both ends and use
BEVELS to input the angles to be cut.
After entering the cut information in the dialog boxes
shown in Figure 22 and 23 the program will return to
the screen shown in Figure 21 to complete the cut.

Setting up Bevels

Using the popup box, click or touch EDGE repeatedly
until the edge of the piece requiring a bevel is red.
Then click or touch the NONE button (below the EDGE
button) until the bevel condition need is shown.
Please note, in Figure 25 the button under EDGE
displays DOUBLE. The double bevel condition has been
selected for this edge and the display text has changed
accordingly.
The condition selected above is for a double 45° bevel
on the plumb cut at the right end of the board. If a bevel
angle other than 45° is needed, click or touch FRONT
ANGLE or BACK ANGLE box and enter the desired angle.
Front Angle means the bevel face that is facing up when
the board is oriented as shown in the diagram. Back
Angle means the bevel face on the opposite face of
the board. The saw will cut a single bevel when only a
Front Angle or a Back Angle is shown. The button that
says DOUBLE above will say SINGLE when a setup is
generated to cut a front or back angle bevel only.
Click or touch the SET button after entering all the bevel
information. The SETUP button will not appear until this
is done.
The SET button will also allow the placement of a bevel
on more than one edge of the piece. When the bevel
has entered for one of the edges, click or touch SET. This
will hold the bevel data for that edge and allow the use
of the EDGE button to proceed to another edge of the
board where an additional bevel can be entered. This
process is necessary when manually entering a floor
truss web.
