TILTING THE CUTTINGHEAD FOR BEVEL CUTTING
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.
1.
The cuttinghead of your compound miter saw can be tilted to cut any bevel angle from a 90° straight cut-off to a 48° bevel
angle left or right. Raise bevel lock lever (A) Fig. 18.
2. Positive stops (A) Fig. 19 are provided to rapidly position the saw blade at 0°, 33.9° and 45°. Refer to the section of
this manual titled
“SELECTING 0°, 33.9
°,
AND 45° BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS.”
The bevel angle of the cuttinghead is
determined by the position of the pointer (B) on the scale (C).
3. In addition, a marked indicator (D) is provided on the bevel scale (33.9°) for cutting crown moulding. Refer to the
“CUTTING CROWN MOULDING”
section of this manual.

Fig. 21 illustrates the sliding plate
positioned for 33.9° left or right.
4. Lower the the bevel lock lever (A) Fig. 18 to engage the bevel lock.
NOTE:
To perform a bevel cut of more than 45°, pull the bevel pin (B) Fig. 20 out to bypass the bevel detent plate. 48° is
possible.
SELECTING 0°, 33.9°, AND 45° BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS
Make sure that the fence is clear of the guard and blade before operating the saw.
The bevel setting feature utilizes a sliding plate (A) Fig. 20, pin (B), and bushing (C) design that is used to select the bevel
angle. The position of the pin (B) and the sliding plate (A) determine the bevel angle.
