Bevel range selector knob – This saw has a front con-
trol on the right side of the table arm. This is called the
bevel range selector knob 41. It is linked to stops and
locking mechanisms in the rear which control the tool's
ability to quickly and accurately be positioned to make
bevel cuts. There are positive stops at the important 45°
left, 0° (vertical), and 45° right angles (see Fig. 49).
