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 helght/bevel adjusting
handwheel clockwise or lower It by turning the hand­
wheel counterclockwise.

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

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.
