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 to help you line up the blade with the line of cut. See Figure 19.

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 20.
