OPERATION TILTING THE TABLE See Figure 38. n Loosen the lock knob slightly. n Turn the angle adjustment knob, tilt the saw table toward the front of the saw housing until it reaches the desired angle. n Using the scale indicator, check angle markings. n Retighten the lock knob to hold saw table securely in place. CIRCLE CUTTING See Figure 39. n Adjust the upper guides to vertically just clear the workpiece. n Use both hands while feeding the work into the blade. Hold the workpiece firmly against the table. Use gentle pressure, and do not force the work, but allow the blade to cut. n The smallest diameter that can be cut out is determined by the width of the blade. For example, a 1/4 in. (6 mm) wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).
