BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Your saw is equipped with a bevel detent system that will stop the foot at 22.5°, and 45° angles.
Disconnect plug from power source. The foot can be adjusted up to 56° by loosening the bevel adjustment lever at the front of the saw. Align to desired angle on calibrated quadrant. Then tighten bevel adjustment lever (Fig. 6).
Your saw also features a adjustable bevel adjustment lever for consistent locking. To adjust, simply pull outward on lever and reposition to desired position (Fig. 1).
Because of the increased amount of blade engagement in the work and decreased
stability of the foot, blade binding may occur. Keep the saw steady and the foot firmly on the workpiece.
