which consists of a calibrated angle quadrant (I) and a bevel adjustment lever (H).The angle quadrant allows for coarse adjustment
(N) or fine adjustment (O) to achieve better accuracy in cutting.
To set the saw for a bevel cut
1.Lift the bevel adjustment lever (H) and tilt foot plate to the desired angle by aligning the pointer with the desired angle mark.
2.Push the bevel adjustment lever down and tighten securely to lock the angle.
Foot Plate Adjustment for 90˚ Cuts
If additional adjustment is needed
1. Adjust the saw to 0˚ bevel. | fig. 7 |
2. Retract blade guard. Place the saw on blade side.
3. Lift bevel adjustment lever. Place a square against the blade and foot plate to adjust the 90˚ setting.
4.Move the adjustment screw, located on the bottom of the foot plate (Fig. 7), so that the foot plate will stop at the proper angle.
5.Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the squareness of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
Kerf Indicator (Fig. 8)
The front of the saw foot plate (D) has a 0˚ kerf indicator (F) and a 45˚ kerf indicator (G) for vertical and bevel cutting. The kerf indicators enable you to guide the saw along the cutting lines penciled on the workpiece.
The indicator aligns with the left (outer) side of the saw blade. The moving blade making the slot or “kerf” cut falls to the right of the indicator. Position the saw along the penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste or surplus material. Marking indicators on the front of the foot plate are at 1/2" (13 mm) intervals for additional cutting guides.

Kerf indicators (P) are also located on the inside of the foot plate to keep the saw square when cutting.
