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 19.
