TO CHANGE BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 27.
The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of
the blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately
1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below
the top surface.
 Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel clockwise or lower it by turning the handwheel
counterclockwise.
TO CHANGE BLADE ANGLE (BEVEL)
See Figured 28 - 29.
NOTE: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45°
bevel.
 Loosen bevel control by pulling the bevel locking lever
up.
 Tighten bevel control by pushing the bevel lock lever
down.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR
See Figure 29.
If the bevel indicator is not at zero when the saw blade is at
90°, adjust the indicator by loosening the screw and setting
it at 0° on the bevel scale. Retighten the screw.
