BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 22 - 24.

To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints:

nAlign the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on the base when making 45° bevel cuts.

nMake a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much you should offset the guideline on the cutting material.

nAdjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting be- tween zero and 51.5°. Refer to “To Adjust Bevel Setting” next.

NOTE: When making bevel cuts, you may need to re-adjust laser (See "Adjusting the Laser.")
