Bevel Lock Lever

The purpose of the bevel lock lever is to lock the motor at any angle. To check follow these steps:

1.Unlock the bevel lock lever. Move the bevel index pin to the left and rotate the saw to approximately 30°. Lock the bevel lock lever.

2.Use both hands as shown and try to force the motor out of position. If the motor moves, the bevel lock lever needs to be tightened.

On the other hand if it is extremely hard to lock the bevel lock lever it has been over -tightened.

3.Follow these steps to adjust:

a.Remove the socket cap screw with hex wrench as shown.

b.Use the bevel lock lever as a wrench to tighten or loosen the clamp bolt. Do not over tighten.

c.Repeat steps 1 and 2. Re-adjust if nec- essary.

d.Replace bevel lock lever in the locked position.

e.Tighten the socket cap screw.

Note: The clamp bolt has a left handed thread. Therefore, to increase the clamping effect, rotate the bevel lock lever - when used as a wrench -from right to left, or clockwise when viewed from above. If you acci- dentally rotate it the wrong way and disengage the bolt from the matching steel nut, it will be necessary to remove the Yoke Handle, and Bevel Scale, in order to reinstall the bolt into the nut.
