To check 0° bevel stop:
Unplug the saw.
Place the saw in an upside down position on a work-
bench.
Check the squareness of the saw blade plate to the base
of the saw using a combination square.
To adjust 0° bevel stop:
Unplug the circular saw.
Loosen bevel adjustment knob.
Loosen hex nut securing adjusting screw.
Turn adjusting screw and adjust base until square with

Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel
adjustment knob securely tightened can result in seri-
ous injury.
LENGTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 22.
The saw is equipped with a length of cut scale on its base.
It is parallel with the saw blade and can be used to measure
the distance into the material the blade cuts.
NOTE: Six inches is the maximum length of cut that you can
measure. Also, it is accurate only when the depth of cut is
set at full maximum depth.
