MAKING BEVEL CUTS
WARNING: Always securely clamp and support the workpiece. Always
maintain proper control of the saw. Failure to clamp and support the work-
piece and loss of control of saw could result in serious injury.
1. Your saw can be
adjusted to bevel cut
at any angle between
0° and 51°. When
making 45° bevel cuts,
there is a notch in the
saw base to help you
line up the blade with
the line of cut (Fig. 15).
2. Align your line of cut
with the left side of
the notch by the 45°
indicator when making
45° bevel cuts.
3. Since blade thicknesses
vary and different
angles require different
settings, make a trial
cut in scrap material
along the guideline to
determine how much,
if any, you should offset
the blade from the
guideline to allow for
the kerf of the blade.
4. When making a bevel
cut, hold the saw
firmly with both hands (Fig. 15a).
5. Rest the front edge of the saw’s base on the workpiece, and then depress
the trigger switch to start the saw. Always allow the blade to reach full
speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece.
6. After completing your cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade
to come to a complete stop in the cut. Do not remove the saw from the
workpiece while the blade is moving. It will damage your bevel cut and
cause kickback.
