Bevel Cuts

What's a Bevel Cut?
A "bevel cut" is a cross-cut made with the blade
perpendicular to the fence (Fig. 49, 12) and with
the table (22) set at 0° miter. The blade can be
tilted to any angle within the saw's range: 47°
left and 47° right from the vertical.
The bevel scale is sized and positioned for easy
reading (Fig. 50, 10 and Fig. 51). The bevel lock
knob (Fig. 52, 34) is to lock and unlock the vari-
ous settings.
