OPERATION

MAKING A COMPOUND (BEVEL) MITER CUT

See Figure 50.

Practice on scrap wood. From the front of the saw,

push the wood to the blade with the miter gage. Do

not use the rip fence.

A WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is

lowered over blade and is working properly to

prevent possible injury.

■ Set the blade angle and height by loosening the

bevel lock handle and turning the height and bevel

handwheels. Retighten the bevel lock handle.

A WARNING: When blade is angled to the left,

the miter gage must be on the right side of the

blade. Othenwise the gage could trap the

workpiece, possibly causing kickback and

resuiting in injury.

knob and setting it to the desired angie,

■ Retighten miter gage knob.

■ Place a support the same height as the top of the

saw tabie behind the saw for the cut work.

■ Insert the key and lift the switch to the ON position.

Let the blade build up to full speed.

■ Hold the work firmly against the miter gage and

push the miter gage to feed the work into the blade.
