the arrow on the base/crown indicator with the arrow on
the pivot assembly and tighten the slide lock knob securely.
BEVEL LOCK KNOB

The bevel lock knob securely locks your compound miter
saw at desired bevel angles. A positive stop adjustment

down position by depressing the lock pin towards the saw
housing.
NOTE: DO NOT perform any cutting operation with the saw

rotation after the switch is released.
