Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15° increments are marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the base. Notches on the rear of the base provide positive stops at each of the above mentioned 15° increments. A protractor is recommended when accurate cuts are required.
