(1)Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left.
(2)Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp le- ver.

When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor head to the initial position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the safety cover to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.

(4) The gradient, which is the ratio of the height to the base of the |
triangular section to be removed, may be used for setting the |
miter scale instead of the cutting angle, if desired (see Fig. 25). |
(5) Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set the indicator |
to position a as indicated in Fig. 24. |
NOTE: * Positive stops are provided at the right and left of |
the 0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 35.3° and |
45° settings. |
Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indica- |
tor are properly aligned. |
* Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indi- |
cator out of alignment, or with the side handle not |
properly tightened, will result in poor cutting preci- |
sion.
