Bevel Adjustment
Disconnect plug from power source. The foot
can be adjusted up to 45° by loosening the
bevel adjustment wing nut at the front of the
saw. Align to desired angle on calibrated quad-
rant. Then tighten bevel adjustment wing nut
(Fig. 6).
WARNING
ment in the work and decreased stability of
the foot, blade binding may occur . Keep the
saw steady and the foot firmly on the
workpiece .
Wrench Storage
Wrench storage is provided on the tool (Fig.
3). Wrench is fully seated when second lock
detent is engaged.
CAUTION
orientation (Fig . 7) . Damage to work piece
could occur if inserted incorrectly.
Line Guide
For a straight 90° cut, use right side of notch
in the foot. For 45° bevel cuts, use the left
side (Fig. 8). The cutting guide notch will give
an approximate line of cut. Make sample cuts
in scrap lumber to verify actual line of cut.
This will be helpful because of the number of
different blade types and thicknesses available.
To ensure minimum splintering on the good
side of the material to be cut, face the good
side down.
