1/8 In. to 1/4 In. but the lowest points (gullets) are below
the top surface.

TO CHANGE BLADE ANGLE (BEVEL)
See Figure 27.
This table saw has a rack and pinion bevel control that
allows you to make angled cuts from 90° to 45°.

bevel.
■ Unplug the saw.
■ Loosen bevel control by turning bevel lock lever all the
way to the left. If It needs to be further loosened, pull

again until loose.
■ Move the height adjusting handwheel to the right to
bevel to 45° bevel angle.
■ Tighten bevel control by turning bevel lock lever to the
right. If It needs to be tightened more, pull the spring-
loaded bevel lock lever out and rotate It to the left.
Then release bevel lock lever and allow It to return to
Its original position. Rotate to the right again. Repeat
this process until bevel lock lever Is securely tightened.
