NOTE:
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.
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.

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.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
■Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■Loosen bevel adjustment knob. See Figure 24.
■Raise motor housing end of saw until you reach desired angle setting on bevel scale. See Figure 24.
■Tighten bevel adjustment knob securely.
