BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 13 - 14.
Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right
or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15° increments are
marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the base.
Lines are also drawn from the middle section to the back of
the base for accurate alignment.
An arrow under the motor assembly provides an indicator at
each of the 15° increments. A protractor is recommended
for making accurate cuts.
 Unlock the base by moving the base locking lever forward
and sliding the base forward from the locking pin.
 Select the desired angle on the base.
 Once the desired angle is reached, slide the base back-
ward to the locking pin and tighten the base locking
lever by moving the base locking lever under the motor
assembly.
