Bevel Cutting; Adjusting The Bevel Setting; Making A Bevel Cut - Ryobi P506 Operator's Manual

BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 19 - 21.
 Align the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on
the base when making 45° bevel cuts.
 Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to
determine how much you should offset the guideline on
the cutting material.
 Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between
zero and 51.5°. Refer to "Adjusting the Bevel Setting"
next.
NOTE: When making bevel cuts, you may need to re-adjust
the laser. (See "Adjusting the Laser.")

ADJUSTING THE BEVEL SETTING

See Figure 20.
 Loosen the bevel adjustment knob.
 Raise the motor housing end of the saw until you reach
the desired angle setting on the bevel scale.
 Tighten the bevel adjustment knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel ad-
justment knob securely tightened can result in serious
injury.
