plan to cut along the side of the blade, as shown, and observe how much
tooth projects beyond the material.
NOTE: When using carbide-tipped blades, make an exception to the above
rule and allow only one-halt of a tooth to project below the material to be cut.
Bevel Angle Adjustment
The full range of the bevel adjustment is from 0° to 50°. The quadrant is grad­

mechanism (Figure 5) consisting of a calibrated quadrant and a knob. To set
the saw for a bevel cut:
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BAHERY PACK.
2. Loosen (counterclockwise) the quadrant knob and tilt shoe to the desired
angle by aligning the pointer with the desired angle mark. Retighten knob

NOTE: The quadrant pointer, located between the quadrant knob and the
quadrant, can be adjusted after loosening its screw. Retighten firmly after
adjustment.
Shoe Adjustment for 90° Cuts

1. TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK.
2. Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
