TO BEVEL CUT
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any desired setting between zero and 45°.
When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the saw base to help you line up the blade with the line of cut. See Figure 16.

MAKING45° BEVELCUTS | Fig. 16 |
Align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on the saw base when making 45° bevel cuts.
Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles require different settings, always make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much you should offset the guideline on the board to be cut.

,_ WARNING: The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could
cause saw to "kickback" toward you resulting in serious injury.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has stopped, lift your saw from the workpiece.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
•Unplug your saw.
_IL WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
•Loosen bevel adjustment knob. See Figure 16.
•Raise motor housing end of saw until you reach desired angle setting on bevel scale.
See Figure 16.
•Tighten bevel adjustment knob securely.
,_ WARNING: Attempting bevel cut without knob securely tightened can result in serious injury.
