BEVEL ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 6)
Remove the battery pack from the circular saw.
The foot can be adjusted up to 45°. Loosen the
bevel-adjustment lever at the front of the saw.
Align it to the desired angle on the calibrated
quadrant, and then tighten the bevel-adjustment
lever (Fig. 6). For bevel adjustments greater
than 45°, loosen the bevel-adjustment lever,
depress the 45° stop spring (Fig. 7), and align
the foot to the desired angle mark over 45° on
the quadrant, and tighten the lever.
NOTICE: Due to the thickness of the FLEX
12Ah battery pack, to avoid interference
between the battery pack and the workpiece
surface when performing 30°-47° bevel cuts,
reduce cutting depth accordingly. When using
the 12Ah battery pack , the maximum cutting
capacity for three most commonly used bevel
angle are listed below:
Bevel angle

WARNING
engagement in the work and decreased
stability of the foot, blade binding may
occur. Keep the saw steady and the foot
firmly on the workpiece.
LINE GUIDE (FIG. 7)
For a 0° cut, use left side of the notch in the
foot for guidance. For 45° bevel cuts, use right
side of the notch (Fig. 7). The cutting guide
will indicate an approximate line of cut. Make
sample cuts in scrap lumber to verify the actual
line of cut. This will be helpful because of the
number of different blade types and thicknesses
available. To ensure minimum splintering on
the good side of the material to be cut, face the
good side down.
