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
