Making Bevel Cuts
Bevel cuts may be made with the optional angle base. The
angle base provides bevel angles up to 48° to the left and
to the right. It can also function on both inside and outside
corners for edge registration.
To adjust the bevel angle, rotate the adjustment knob on
the rear of the angle base. Rotating the knob clockwise
raises the bevel feet. Rotating the knob counterclockwise
lowers the bevel feet.

For setting the approximate angle, the angle base includes
a built-in angle indicator that shows the angle between the
base and the blade.

The best way of setting the bevel angle is to set the angle
between the left and right bevel feet. The angle between the
bevel feet will be twice the bevel angle.
Hint: A digital angle nder is ideal for this operation.
In the example below, the angle nder was reset to
zero when the two arms were pointing in opposite
directions (180°). The reading on the display (45°) is
twice the actual bevel angle (22.5°).
