TILTING CUTTINGHEAD FOR

BEVEL CUTTING

The cuttinghead of your compound miter saw can be tilted to

cut any bevel angle from a 90 degree straight cut off to a 45

degree left bevel angle. Push lock handle (A) Fig. 18 in and

turn counter-clockwise. Tilt cuttinghead to the desired angle,

and tighten lock handle (A) Fig. 18.

Positive stops are provided to rapidly position the saw

blade at 90 and 45 degrees to the table. Refer to the section

of this manual titled “ADJUSTING 90 AND 45 DEGREE

BEVEL STOPS.” The bevel angle of the cuttinghead is

determined by the position of the pointer (C) Fig. 19 on the

scale (D).

In addition, a triangle indicator is provided on the bevel scale

at the 33.85 degree bevel angle for cutting crown moulding.

Refer to the “CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” section of this

manual.

ADJUSTING FENCE

90 DEGREES TO BLADE

If the fence (A) Fig. 20 is removed from the saw, adjust it after replacement so that it is 90 degrees to the blade as

follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

2. Place one end of the square (B) Fig. 20 against the fence (A) and the other end against the blade.

3. To adjust, loosen the four screws (C) Fig. 21, and adjust fence 90 degrees to the blade. NOTE: Two of the screws

are located under the sliding fence. Remove lock knob (D) Fig. 21 and sliding fence (E) to gain access to the screws.

4. Tighten the four screws (C) Fig. 21.

5. Replace sliding fence and lock knob removed in STEP 3.
