OPERATION
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 19 - 21.

Align the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on
the base when making 45° bevel cuts.
 Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to
determine how much you should offset the guideline on
the cutting material.
 Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between
zero and 51.5°. Refer to “Adjusting the Bevel Setting”
next.
NOTE: When making bevel cuts, you may need to re-adjust
the laser. (See “Adjusting the Laser.”)
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL SETTING
See Figure 20.

Loosen the bevel adjustment knob.
 Raise the motor housing end of the saw until you reach
the desired angle setting on the bevel scale.
 Tighten the bevel adjustment knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel ad-
justment knob securely tightened can result in serious
injury.
MAKING A BEVEL CUT


Hold the saw firmly with both hands as shown.
 Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
