Angle Cutting (Bevel Cutting)

See Figures 11 and 12.

	Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right	PIVOT SCREW
	or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15° increments are
	marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the
	base. Notches on the rear of the base provide positive
	stops at each of the above mentioned 15° increments. A
	protractor is recommended when accurate cuts are re-
	quired.
	For angle cutting, first remove the splinter guard.
	■ Using the 1/8 in. hex key provided, loosen the base
	pivot screw until the base can be moved.
	■ Slide base forward slightly until base pivot screw can	HEX KEY
	move freely in slots in base. See Figure 11.
	Note: Clamp plate should always be in full rear position,	Fig. 11
	as shown in figure 11.	Fig. 11
	as shown in figure 11.
	■ Align the mark, on the base, of the desired angle with
	the edge of the motor housing.
	■ Once the desired angle is reached, slide base back until
	tab on motor housing aligns with the appropriate notch
	on rear of base. See Figure 12.
	Note: When making a set-up for accurate cuts with a
	protractor, or for angles other than the preset 15°
	increments, the positive stop notches on the rear of
	the base are not used.
	■ Tighten the base pivot screw securely.
	■ Return hex key to storage area.
	Note: The wide slot in the base must be used when
	making bevel cuts, scroll cuts, plunge cuts, and when
	cutting metal.	Fig. 12
