Angle Cutting (Bevel Cutting)
See Figures 11 and 12.
Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right
or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15° increments are
marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the base.
Notches on the rear of the base provide positive stops at
each of the above mentioned 15° increments. A protractor
is recommended when accurate cuts are required.
For angle cutting, rst remove the splinter guard.
Using the 1/8 in. hex key provided, loosen the base pivot
screw until the base can be moved.
Slide base forward slightly until base pivot screw can
move freely in slots in base. See Figure 11.
Note: Clamp plate should always be in full rear position,
as shown in gure 11.
Align the mark, on the base, of the desired angle with
the edge of the motor housing.
Once the desired angle is reached, slide base back until
tab on motor housing aligns with the appropriate notch
on rear of base. See Figure 12.
Note: When making a set-up for accurate cuts with a
protractor, or for angles other than the preset 15° incre-
ments, the positive stop notches on the rear of the base
are not used.
Tighten the base pivot screw securely.
Return hex key to storage area.
Note: The wide slot in the base must be used when
making bevel cuts, scroll cuts, plunge cuts, and when
cutting metal.
