Bevel tilt setting
After loosening the tilt lock lever (46) at
the rear, the sawhead assembly can be
tilted
continuously to any setting
between vertical (0°) up to 48° from ver-
tical, both to the left and the right sides.
The track arm holder has preset stops
and engages at the 0°, 22.5°, and 45°
positions.
Once you have found your desired tilt
angle, TIGHTEN THE TILT LOCK
LEVER (46) before starting to cut, so
that the angle setting does not change,
even if you are using one of the pre-
set stops at 0°, 22.5 °, or 45°.
