ADJUSTMENTS

POSITIVE 0° BEVEL STOP
See Figure 21, page 16.
The saw has a positive 0° bevel stop that has been factory
adjusted to assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making
0° cuts. However, misalignment can occur during shipping.
To check positive 0° bevel stop:
 Remove the battery pack.
 Place the saw in an upside down position on a workbench.
 Move the lower blade guard out of the way so that the
saw blade is exposed.
 Check the squareness of the saw blade to the base of
the saw using a combination square.
To adjust positive 0° bevel stop:
 Remove the battery pack.
 Rotate the bevel lock lever counterclockwise to release.
 Insert a 2.5 mm hex key (not provided) through the screw
hole in the saw base.
 Turn adjustment screw and adjust base until it is square
with the saw blade.
 Securely lock the bevel lock lever.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel
lock lever securely locked in place can result in
serious injury.
