WARNING: Failure to unplug the saw could result
in accidental start up, which may cause serious injury.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always
lock the miter lock lever before making a cut. Failure to do
so could result in movement of the control arm or miter table
while making a cut.
• Mark the cutting line on the work piece with a pencil.
• Pull out the head lock knob to release the cutting head.
• Pull up the miter lock lever and rotate the miter table to
the desired miter angle.
• When the desired miter table setting is achieved, lock the
miter lock lever.
• Pull the bevel detent pin (A) out toward the front to the
machine and rotate it a 1/4 turn in either direction and
release it in that position. (Fig. 28) (The bevel detent pin has two pisitions: 1. Bevel common stop angles (pin
pulled completely out); 2. Quickly locate 0°, 22.5°, 33.9° and 45° left or right (pin pushed in).
• Loosen the bevel lock levers and tilt the cutting head to the desired bevel angle as indicated on the bevel scale. The
blade can be positioned at any angle from a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 48° right and a 48° left bevel. Positive
stops are provided at 0°, 22.5°, 33.9° and 45°.
making a nish cut in good material.
• Unplug the saw.

OPERATION
CAUTION: You can quickly locate 0°, 22.5°, 33.9° and 45° left or right by using the bevel detent pin (A) (Fig. 28).
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the bevel lock levers to secure the cutting head in
position before making a cut.
• Plug the saw into an electrical outlet.
• Place the work piece at on the miter table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the
convex side against the fence. The board could collapse on the table at the end of the cut and jam the blade (see “cutting
warped material” section).
• Turn on the laser and align the pencil line with the laser line.
• Use the work piece clamp to secure the work piece against the saw table and fence.
• When cutting a long work piece, use table extensions to support the work piece.
• When the cutting head has been set at the desired angle, tighten the bevel lock levers clockwise.
CAUTION: Never use another person as an additional support for a work piece that is longer or wider than the
basic saw table, or to help feed, support, or pull the work piece.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always keep hands outside of the “No-Hands Zone”, as marked on
the saw table. Never perform any cutting operation “freehand” (i.e., without holding the work piece against the fence),
because the blade could grab the work piece, causing it to slip and twist.
• Before turning on the saw, perform a trial of the cutting operation by lowering the cutting head to make sure
that no problems will occur when the cut is made.
• Raise the cutting head, hold the saw handle and turn the saw on: squeeze the ON/OFF switch trigger.
• Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
• Slowly lower the blade into and through the work piece. Complete the cut.
• Release the ON/OFF switch trigger; Allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the work piece.
