As shown in Fig. 9 by loosening the wing- nut on the inclined gauge, the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of 47° in relation to the base. Always insure that the wing-nut is thoroughly tightened after making the desired adjustment.

NOTE: Values of the inclined gauge pro- vided on the base merely serve as a rough guideline. For cutting operation at an inclined posture, use the circular saw after adjust- ing the angle between the base and the saw blade with a protrac- tor, etc.

3.Adjusting the guide piece

On the circular saw, it is possible to make fine adjustment of the fixing position of the guide piece, where the saw blade and the premarked line are to be aligned.

When the saw is shipped from the factory, the linear portion of a front scale on the guide piece is aligned with the central position of the saw blade. (Fig. 10)

Loosen the fixed screw on the guide piece, should the fixing position be wrong, and make necessary adjustment of the position. (Fig. 11)
