ADJUSTING THE 0° BEVEL ANGLE – cont'd
8. Insert a 4 mm hex key in the 0° bevel stop
set screw (9) (Fig. 13). While holding the
hex key, loosen the 0° bevel stop lock nut
(10) using a 13 mm wrench.
9. Use the hex key to turn the set screw in or
out as required until the blade contacts the
full length of the combination square.
10. While using the hex key to prevent the set
screw from turning, tighten the lock nut.
NOTE: Re-check the alignment after
tightening the lock nut.
11. If the 0° bevel pointer is not aligned directly
with the 0° line on the scale, use a #2
screwdriver to loosen the pointer screw
(11). Then align the pointer (12) with the 0°
line (13) on the scale and tighten the screw
to hold the pointer firmly in place.
ADJUSTING THE LEFT & RIGHT 45° BEVEL
ANGLE STOPS
The left & right 45° bevel angle stops must be
adjusted to ensure accurate cuts at these most
common angles. Adjust the right hand 45° bevel
angle as follows:
1. Rotate the 0° bevel stop (3) toward you so
it nests into the casting (Fig. 14).
2. Lift the bevel release to the vertical
position.

3. Rotate the cutting head clockwise until the
bevel indicator (14) is pointing directly to
the 45° mark (15) on the bevel scale.
4. Check the blade angle to the base using a
45° protractor. If it is not at the correct
angle, loosen the bevel release and re-
adjust the angle to 45° .
5. Adjust the right hand 45° bevel stop by
loosening the lock nut (16) and moving the
cap screw (17) in or out as required then
tighten the lock nut while holding the cap
screw with a 13 mm wrench.
NOTES:
a) You will require two 13 mm wrenches to
adjust the lock nut and set screw.
b) Adjust the set screw so the bevel angle
stop (18) contacts the set screw when the
blade is at exactly 45° to the base.
6. If the 45° bevel pointer is not aligned
directly with the 45° line on the scale, use a
#2 screwdriver to loosen the pointer
screw (19). Then align the pointer with the
45° line on the scale and tighten the screw
to hold the pointer firmly in place.
7. Adjust the left hand 45° bevel angle stop in
exactly the same way as described for the
right hand 45° bevel angle above.
