Bevel range selector knob – This saw has a front control on the right side of the table arm. This
is called the bevel range selector knob (item 41 – page 12). It is linked to stops and locking mech-
anisms in the rear which control the tool's ability to quickly and accurately be positioned to make
bevel cuts. There are positive stops at the important 45° left, 0° (vertical), and 45° right angles
(see Figure 49).
