Adjusting the Miter Angle
A miter cut is one that is at an angle across the
horizontal surface of the material. 45ºmiter cuts
to join two pieces in a right angle corner are
common. A 30ºcut is often used for a scarf
joint or to make a chamfered end.
1. Loosen the Miter Knob by turning it
approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
2. Press down the Miter Lock to
unlock the Table. While holding the Miter
Lock down, move the Table to the desired
angle.
3. The Miter Angle Indicator will indicate the
selected angle. While the Miter Lock is
released, the table will lock into place at
often used miter angles, including 22.5º 30º
45º and 90ºon both left and right sides.
4. Tighten the Miter Knob after adjusting the
miter angle.
5. With the Table adjusted to the desired
angle, place the workpiece flush against
the Fence, secure it with the Clamp and
make the cut.
Adjusting the Bevel Angle
A bevel cut is one that is at an angle vertically.
Bevel cuts can be used to miter relatively wide
and thin material. Bevel cuts can be used in
combination with a miter cut to form a
compound angle. Compound angle cuts are
often used in crown moldings, picture frames
and similar trim materials.
1. Loosen the Bevel Lock Knob at the rear of
the saw.
2. Move the blade assembly to the desired
angle. Read the angle on the Bevel
Indicator.
3. Lock the blade assembly into position by
rotating the Bevel Lock Knob clockwise.
Tighten firmly but do not over-tighten.
4. Make a sample cut in a piece of scrap to
confirm that the bevel angle is correct.
If it is not, correct the angle before cutting.
Using the Depth Stop
If a kerfing or rabbet cut which does not cut
through the workpiece is desired, use the
Depth Stop Bolt to control the depth of the cut.
WARNING! Only adjust the front Bolt.
The rear Bolt is used to prevent the Blade
from cutting the table during normal cutting.
Do not adjust the rear Depth Bolt.
1. Unlock the Head Lock-down, see page 9.
2. Raise the saw head assembly.
3. Push the Depth Stop to the left to use
the Depth Stop Bolt setting.
4. Pull down on the saw head to check the
current setting.
5. To change the setting, first loosen
the knurled Depth Stop Nut on the Depth
Stop Bolt. Turn the Depth Stop Bolt
clockwise to decrease depth and
counterclockwise to increase depth.
Tighten the Depth Stop Nut after
adjustment.
