knob (A) and turn the handwheel (B) on the front

Tighten the lock knob. The blade should be
adjusted between 1/8" to 1/4" above the top
surface of the material being cut.
To tilt the saw blade, turn the lock handle (C)
counterclockwise to loosen, turn the handwheel
(D) on the right side of the saw until the desired
angle is obtained, then tighten the lock handle (C)
by turning clockwise.
