Cut Length Indicator (Fig. 9)
DWE565-XE
The markings on the side of the foot plate show the
length of the slot being cut into the material at the full
depth of the cut. The markings are in increments of
3.2 mm (1/8").
Kerf Indicator (Fig. 10)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator (U) for
vertical and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you
to guide the saw along cutting lines penciled on the
material being cut. The indicator lines up with the left
(inner) side of the saw blade, which makes the slot or "kerf" cut by the moving blade
fall to the right of the indicator. The notches on the base plate indicate 0˚ and 45˚.
