TO BEVEL CUT
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any
desired setting between zero and 50 °.Note: When
making cuts at 50°,blade should be set at full depth of
cut.
When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the
saw base tohelp you line upthe blade withthe lineof
cut. See Figure 19.

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 makinga bevel cut hold your saw firmly with
both hands as shown in figure 20.
