TO BEVEL
CUT
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any
desired setting between zero and 51.5 °. Note: When
making cuts at 51.5 ° blade should be set at full depth
of cut, with edge guide screw removed.
When making 45 ° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the
saw base to help you line up the blade with the line of
cut. See Figure 16.

Align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch
on the saw base when making 45 ° bevel cuts.
Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles
require different settings, always make a trial cut
in scrap material along a guideline to determine
how much you should offset the guideline on the
board to be cut,
When making a bevel cut hold your saw firmly with
both hands as shown in Figure 17.
Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
Squeeze the switch trigger to start your saw. Always
let the blade reach full speed, then guide your saw
into the workpiece.

WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with
the workpiece before it reaches full speed could
cause saw to "kickback" toward you resulting in
serious injury.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and
allow the blade to come to a complete stop. After the
blade has stopped, lift your saw from the workpiece.
