BEVEL LOCK KNOB
The bevel lock knob securely locks your compound miter
saw at desired bevel angles. Loosen the bevel lock knob to
release the saw allowing the blade to be tilted either left or
right for bevel cuts. Tighten the knob to lock the saw in place.

out and tilt the saw to the desired angle. Push the bevel stop
pin in for a positive 0° bevel stop.

48° bevel angles. When making any non-bevel cut, the bevel
stop turrets should be in the 48° position.
