Bevel Lock Lever - Craftsman 113.196380 Owner's Manual

Bevel Lock Lever
The purpose of the bevel lock lever is to
lock the motor at any angle. To check follow
these steps:
1. Unlock the bevel lock lever. Move the
bevel index pin to the left and rotate the saw
to approximately 30 °. Lock the bevel lock
lever.
2. Use both hands as shown and try to force
the motor out of position. If the motor
moves, the bevel lock lever needs to be
tightened. On the other hand if it is extreme-
ly hard to lock the bevel lock lever it has
been over -tightened.
3. Follow these steps to adjust:
a. Remove the socket set screw with hex
wrench as shown.
b. Use the bevel lock lever as a wrench to
tighten or loosen the clamp bolt. Do not
over tighten.
c. Repeat steps 1 and 2. Re-adjust if nec-
essary
d. Replace bevel lock lever in the locked
position.
e. Tighten the set screw.
Note: The clamp bolt has a left handed
thread. Therefore, to increase the clamping
effect, rotate the bevel lock lever - when
used as a wrench -from right to left, or
clockwise when viewed from above. If you
accidentally rotate it the wrong way and dis-
engage the bolt from the matching steel nut,
it will be necessary to remove the Yoke
ttandle, and Bevel Scale, in order to rein-
stall the bolt into the nut.
