Miter and Bevel Cuts

• A miter cut is made at an angle other than 90°, with the blade vertical.
• A bevel cut is made with the blade tilted over.
• A compound miter cut is a combination of a miter and bevel cut.

Step 1: Adjusting for a Miter Cut

1. Flip the miter lock lever up (horizontal).
2. Push down on the miter detent lever with your thumb.
3. Rotate the saw to the desired angle.
   
   • If using a common angle, the miter detent lever will drop into position.
4. Push the miter lock lever down.

Step 2: Adjusting for Bevel Cut

1. Flip the bevel lock lever up.
2. Rotate the bevel dial if needed.
3. Rotate the saw to the desired angle.
   • For fine control, use the bevel adjuster on the front of the saw.
4. Push the bevel lock lever down.
   
   • The bevel lock lever must be in the down position before cutting.
5. Check the fence for blade interference.
