Miter Cut
Referring to Figure 26:
The sliding compound miter saw has ten positive
miter stop indents (A) located on the saw base. The
stops represent the following miter cut angles: 0,
15, 22.5, 31.6 and 45 degrees left and right, and
60° right. To make a miter cut:
1. Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the quick-
cam miter table lock (E).
2. Raise the positive stop locking lever (C) up, at the
same time grasp the miter handle (D) and rotate
the miter table left or right to the desired angle.
3. Release the positive stop locking lever (C),
making sure the lever snaps into place at one
of the miter stop indent (A).
Note: The lever will only lock into place at one of
the ten positive stops indicated above
Once the desired miter angle is achieved:
4. Press down on the quick cam miter table
lock (E) to secure the table into position.
If the miter angle desired is not one of the ten
positive stops noted above:
5. Simply lock the table at the desired angle by
pressing down on the quick-cam miter table
lock (E).
Bevel Cut
The sliding fence must be
extended to the left or right when making bevel
cuts. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Failure to extend the sliding fence will not allow
enough space for the blade to pass through. This
could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or
bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the
fence resulting in damage to equipment as well as
personal injury.
The right side sliding fence must be removed when
making any right bevel angle cuts greater than 35º in
combination with any right hand miter angle. This
fence must also be removed whenever a 45º bevel
angle is desired with a miter angle greater than 22.5º.
Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle as shown
on the bevel scale. The blade can be positioned at
any angle, from a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale)
to a 45° left and right bevel. Tighten the bevel lock
handle (B, Fig. 26) by pushing down to lock the
cutting head in position. Bevel positive stops are
provided at 0°, 33.9° and 45°.
Note: The saw comes with a 33.9° bevel detent pin
for setting up crown molding cuts when the angle of
the walls equals 90°.
