OPERATION
TO BEVEL CUT
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any
desired setting between zero and 50°. Note: When
making cuts at 50°, blade should be set at full depth of
cut.
When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the
saw base to help you line up the blade with the tine of
cut. See Figure 19.
When making a bevel cut hold your saw firmly with
both hands as shown in figure 20.

Align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch
on the saw base when making 45° bevel cuts.
Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles
require different settings, always make a trial cut
in scrap material along a guideline to determine
how much you should offset the guideline on the
board to be cut.
Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
Depress the lock*off button and squeeze the switch
trigger to start your saw. Always let the blade reach
futi speed, then guide your saw into the workpiece.

allow the blade to come,to a complete stop. After the
blade has stopped, lift your saw from the workpiece.
