TILTING THE CUTTING HEAD FOR BEVEL
CUTTING (FIG 23)
Your compound miter saw is equipped with a cutting head that can
be tilted 45° both LEFT and RIGHT.
To bevel the cutting head LEFT, loosen the bevel lock handle (1)
at the rear of the miter saw, tilt the cutting arm left to the desired
angle, and then tighten the lock handle.
To bevel the cutting head RIGHT, tilt the 90° Stop Block (2) off up
position. Loosen the bevel lock handle (1), tilt the cutting arm right
to the desired angle, and then tighten the lock handle.
Each line on the bevel scale (3) represents one degree of movement.
The angle setting is indicated by a stationary red pointer and
the bevel angle position of the cutting arm is determined by the
position of the red pointer to a line on the bevel scale.
Positive stops are provided at 90°, 45° LEFT and 45° RIGHT for
quick adjustments.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE SLIDING
RAIL (FIG 24)
Turning the Sliding Rail Lock (1) clockwise will lock the rail (2)
and keep it from traveling forward or backwards. Turning the lock
counterclockwise will loosen the sliding rail lock, permitting travel
of the saw head and the rail system.
CUTTING WITH A SLIDING MITER SAW
(FIG 25)
The sliding miter saw has much greater cutting capacities than a
conventional miter saw. It is also used a little differently. The FIG 25
shows the proper way to cut using the sliding rail.
Position "a" shows the saw head in the back position. If cutting small, narrow stock, the user needs only to push
down on the cutting head with the saw running to cut the piece.
Position "b" now shows the saw head in the most forward position. This is the starting position for cutting wide
stock up to 13-3/8".
With the saw running and the blade at full speed, Push the saw head down into the material slowly and steadily as
show in position "c"
Once the saw has cut through the initial thickness of the material, steadily push the saw head away from you
while the saw is still cutting to complete the cut as show in position "d".
APPLICATION
TYPICAL COMPOUND MITER SAW OPERATIONS
WARNING:
before making any adjustments or during set-up prior to cutting. Failure to disconnect or
