OPERATION TO BEVEL CUT See Figure 27. A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade angled to the workpiece. A straight bevel cut is made with the miter table set at the zero degree position and the blade set at an angle between 0° and 45°. NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the partial sliding miter fence to ensure proper clearance prior to making the cut. Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height. Loosen the miter lock knob approximately one-half turn and press the detent release button. Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the miter scale. Release the detent release button, then tighten the miter lock knob to secure the miter table. NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° left or right by releasing the detent release button as you rotate the control arm. The control arm will seat itself in one of the positive stop notches, located in the miter table base. Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle. Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°. Align the indicator point for the desired angle. Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the bevel lock knob. Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed against the fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade. See figures 32 - 33. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 30. Grasp the workpiece firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the work clamp, C-clamp, or other suitable clamp to secure the workpiece when possible. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made. Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the trigger lockout lever and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops turning before removing the workpiece from miter table.
