Quick adjusting to bevel 22.5° and 45°

knob (N) to quickly set the cutting angle at 22.5°
and 45°.
To adjust to 22.5° bevel:
a. Depress the bevel-limitation knob and rotate it to the 22.5° indicator mark on the tool.
b. Loosen the bevel-locking knob, tilt the body of the saw until the saw cannot move, and
tighten the bevel-locking knob to secure the saw. The cutting angle is now set at 22.5°.

7. Installing and Using the Edge Guide
The edge guide allows you to make accurate
parallel cuts when trimming a workpiece.
a. Disconnect the plug from the power source.
WARNING
• ALWAYS unplug saw before assembling any
accessories. Failure to unplug the saw could
result in accidental starting, which can cause
serious personal injury.
b. Slide the arm of the edge guide (W) into the
edge-guide slots at the front of the saw base.
c. Adjust the edge guide to the desired length of cut. Tighten the edge-guide locking
knob (R).
d. Clamp and support the workpiece securely before making your cut.
e. Place the edge guide firmly against the edge of the workpiece. Doing this will give you a
true cut without pinching the blade.
f. BE SURE that the guiding edge of the workpiece is straight so you can get a straight cut.
g. ALWAYS LET THE BLADE REACH FULL SPEED, then carefully guide the saw into the
workpiece.
