OPERATION
4. Lower the depth-adjustment lever to
lock the saw in this depth position.
BEVEL ADJUSTMENTS
The angle of cut can be adjusted to
any desired setting between 0°and 50°.
Because blade thicknesses vary and
different angles require different settings,
always make a trial cut in scrap material
along a guideline to determine how much
you should offset the guideline on the
workpiece to be cut.

rotating the lever clockwise.
3. Tilt the base until the bevel indicator

scale.
4. Tighten the bevel-adjustment lever by
rotating the lever counterclockwise.
0° BEVEL STOP
The saw has a 0° bevel stop that has been
adjusted before shipment to assure that the
blade is perpendicular to the base at the 0°
bevel setting.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel
cut without fully tightening the bevel-
adjustment lever can result in serious
injury.
