• Avoid positioning yourself so that you're in the path of chips and wood dust being ejected from the saw.
BEVEL CUTTING
Bevel cuts are made using the same technique as crosscuts and ripping described in the previous section. The
difference is that the blade is set at an angle (tilted) between 0° and 45°.
A bevel cut made at an angle to the edge of a board is called a compound miter. Some compound cuts may
require you to manually retract the lower guard to allow the blade to enter into and/or through the cut.
There are tools better suited for bevel and compound cuts than the hand held circular saw. Although the inner
line-of-cut indicator notch aids the operator in following their cut guideline, the tilted motor housing, however,
obstructs their ability to see the blade making accurate cuts difficult. Before taking on a project with numerous
compound or bevel cuts it's suggested that the inexperienced saw user spend time making practice cuts in
scrap lumber to become familiar with and overcome difficulties associated with compound/bevel cutting.
POCKET CUTS
A pocket cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the work piece rather than starting from an outside
edge and working inward. Pocket cuts can be very dangerous for the novice to attempt because of the need to
manually retract the lower guard and perform a plunge cut which is potentially hazardous.
• Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
• Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
• Swing the lower blade guard up by using the lower blade guard lever.
NOTE:
Always raise the lower blade guard with the lever to avoid serious injury.
• Hold the lower blade guard by the lever.
• Rest the front of the base flat against the work piece with the rear part of the saw elevated so the blade does
not touch the work piece.
• Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
• Guide the saw down into the work piece and make the cut.
WArNING:
in the reverse direction could cause the saw to climb up on the work piece and back
toward you.
• Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Lift the saw from the work piece.
• Repeat this procedure for the remaining sides, and then clear the corners out with a hand saw or jig saw.
WArNING:
blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting. Cutting
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the
