3. For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide tipped saw
blade, set the depth adjustment so that about one half of a tooth
projects below the surface of the wood to be cut.
4. A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is shown in
Figure 8. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side
of the blade, as shown in the figure, and observe how much tooth
projects beyond the material.

The DWE575 and DWE575SB are equipped with a bevel detent
feature. As you tilt the foot plate you will hear a click and feel the foot
plate stop at both 22.5 and 45 degrees. If either of these is the desired
angle, retighten the lever (F) by lowering it. If you desire another angle,
continue tilting the foot plate until the coarse bevel pointer (V) or the
fine pointer (T)aligns with the desired mark.
