TO BEVEL CUT

The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any desired setting between zero and 51.5 °. Note: When making cuts at 51.5 ° blade should be set at full depth of cut, with edge guide screw removed.

When making 45 ° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the saw base to help you line up the blade with the line of cut. See Figure 16.

MAKING45° BEVELCUTS

Fig. 16

Align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on the saw base when making 45 ° bevel cuts.

Since 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 board to be cut.

When making a bevel cut hold your saw firmly with both hands as shown in Figure 17.

Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.

Squeeze the switch trigger to start your saw. Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide your saw into the workpiece.

cause saw to "kickback" toward you resulting in serious injury.

After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has stopped, lift your saw from the workpiece.
