bevel indicator is at the desired angle. Push the
bevel locking lever securely to the left to lock the
angle.

the miter fence to 90 degrees with either the quick­

blade as the wood feeds into the blade. Make a
trial pass of the miter table. The end of the miter
fence should not contact the blade. Loosen the
adjusting clamp to move it away from the blade if
needed.
■ Place a support {the same height as saw table)
behind the saw for the cut work.

turning on the saw.

table to feed the work into the blade.
