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 25.

TO BEVEL CUT
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any
desired setting between zero and 50°. Note: When
making cuts at 50 °, blade should be set at full depth of
cut.
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 24.

Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
Depress the lock-off button and 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.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
• Remove battery pack from saw.
_1, WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from
saw could result in accidental starting causing
possible serious personal injury.
• Loosen bevel adjustment knob.See Figure 24.
• Raise motor housing end of saw until you reach desired
angle setting on bevel scale. See Figure 24.
• Tighten bevel adjustment knob securely.
_, WARNING: Attempting bevel cut without knob
securely tightened can result in serious injury.
