Kerf Indicator (Figure K)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator for vertical and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut. The indicator lines up with the left (inner) side of the saw blade, which makes the slot or “kerf” cut by the moving blade fall to the right of the indicator.
Additionally, the BTE300 has 0 and 45 degree visual indicators - the corresponding left and right sides of the window in the rip fence slot (see item 15 in Fig. K), and also labeled 0 and 45 degree indicators just in front of the blade kerf (see item 16 in Fig. K). removed from Fig. K for clarity.
