2X@45 Stop - Bosch GCM18V-12SD Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

Setting Saw to Make a Bevel Cut
1. Extend the fence. See "Sliding Fences" on
page 32.
NOTE: Be sure to move the sliding fence (Fig.
49, 12) away from the blade to avoid cutting
into the fence when bevel cutting. The slid-
ing fence may need to be removed when per-
forming extreme bevel cuts and most com-
pound cuts. See "Sliding Fences" on page
32.
2. Rotate the bevel lock knob (Fig. 52, 34)
clockwise to unlock the head assembly.
3. Adjust your left or right bevel stop indicator
(33) to one of the three pre-set locations,
33.9°, 45°, 47°, or tilt the head assembly
(Fig. 49, 28) until you reach the desired
angle on your bevel scale (Fig. 51 and Fig.
52, 10).
NOTE: To bevel the saw to the right, the
Bevel Range Selector Knob must be pulled
forward (Fig. 52, 11).
4. Rotate the bevel lock knob (Fig. 52, 34)
counterclockwise to lock the head assembly.
5. Follow either the procedure "Chop Cuts" on
page 37 or "Slide Cuts" on page 38.
