TO CHANGEBLADEDEPTH
See Figure 28.
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 hand-
wheel counterclockwise.

TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR
See Figure 30.
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.

TO CHANGE BLADE ANGLE (BEVEL)
See Figured 29 - 30.
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
all the way to the right.
[] Adjust the bevel angle by pushing the wheel in toward
the saw then turning it. Turning the wheel counter-
clockwise increases the angle of the blade, bringing it
closer to 45°.Turning it clockwise decreases the angle,
bringing the blade closer to 90°.
[] Tighten bevel control by pushing the bevel lock lever to
the left.
