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 24.

SCALE
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 25.

_, WARNING: The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could 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.
