90° CUTTING ANGLE CHECK
Disconnect plug from power source. Set foot to
maximum depth of cut setting. Loosen bevel
adjustment lever, set to 0° on quadrant,
retighten lever and check for 90° angle
between the blade and bottom plane of foot
with a square (Fig. 5). Make adjustments by
turning the small alignment screw, if necessary
(Fig. 6).
LINE GUIDE
For a straight 90° cut, use right side of notch
in the foot. For 45° and 60° bevel cuts, use
the left side (Fig. 8). The cutting guide notch
will give an approximate line of cut. Make
sample cuts in scrap lumber to verify actual
line of cut. This will be helpful because of the
number of different blade types and
thicknesses available. To ensure minimum
splintering on the good side of the material to
be cut, face the good side down.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Disconnect plug from power source. Loosen
the depth adjustment lever located between the
guard and handle of saw. Hold the foot down
with one hand and raise or lower saw by the
handle. Tighten lever at the depth setting
desired. Check desired depth (Fig. 3).
Not more than one tooth length of the blade
should extend below the material to be cut, for
minimum splintering (Fig. 4).

BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Disconnect plug from power source. The foot
can be adjusted up to 45° by loosening the
bevel adjustment lever at the front of the saw.
Align to desired angle on calibrated quadrant.
Then tighten bevel adjustment lever (Fig. 7).
For 60° loosen depth adjustment lever, lower
foot to 60° mark on depth bracket (Fig. 3), and
tighten lever. Loosen bevel adjustment lever,
depress 45° stop spring (Fig. 8), align foot to 60
mark on quadrant and tighten lever. Because
of the increased amount of blade engagement
in the work and decreased stability of the foot,
blade binding may occur. Keep the saw steady
and the foot firmly on the workpiece.
