Bevel Angle Adjustment • Loosen the clamp knob at the bevel scale plate on the front of the saw base. • Tilt the saw base until the desired graduation on the bevel scale aligns with the indicator line on the stationary bevel bracket. • Tighten the clamp knob securely. • Always make a test cut in scrap lumber and measure the cut angle to confirm the bevel angle is set properly; if necessary, adjust the bevel angle appropriately before cutting the work piece. 7 1⁄4” Circular Saw Operator’s Manual GCS100... -
