adjusted up to 45° by loosening the
base adjustment bolts on the underside
of the saw.

switched off and unplugged before
tilting the base.
With the base tilted, you can make
bevel cuts at any angle between 0° and
45° (left or right).
Loosen the bolts on the underside of
the tool with the allen wrench.
Tilt the base until the desired angle is
obtained. The edge of the motor
housing indicates the base angle by
graduations stamped on the base.
Tighten the 2 bolts to secure the base.
