A "bevel cut" is a cross-cut made with the blade
perpendicular to the fence and with the table set at 0°
miter. The blade can be tilted at any angle within the
saw's range: 47° left and -2° right from the vertical.
The bevel scale is sized and positioned for easy
reading. And the side bevel lock lever is to lock and
unlock the various settings.
A rotating Left Bevel Stop indicator allows you to set
the most common bevel stops 0°, 22.5°, 33.9°, 45°
and 47° Left, (figure 41). The 33.9° bevel stop is for
cutting 38° "spring angle" crown molding flat on the
table. (See Compound Cuts for more information.)
A -2° Right Bevel Stop is also available for back
cutting applications. Simply slide this stop forward
and back to engage the 0° stop and disengage for -
2° stop. (see figure 42)
to Make A Bevel Cut
1. Extend the base extension and fence (See Sliding
Fence and Base Extension on pages 26 & 27)
Note: Be sure to move sliding fence away from the
blade to avoid cutting into the fence when bevel
cutting. The sliding fence may need to be removed
when preforming extreme bevel cuts and most
compound cuts, (see page 26).
2. With one hand, pull the bevel lock lever forward to
unlock the saw head. (see figure 42)
3. Adjust your left bevel stop to one of the three pre-
set locations 22.5°, 33.9°, 45° and 47° Left, if
desired, tilt head left until you reach the desired
angle on your bevel scale. (see figure 42)
4. Lock the bevel lock by pushing it toward the back
of the saw.
5. Follow procedures for either chop cut or slide cut
(see page 29).
