OPERATION
TO CHANGE bLADE DEPTH
See Figure 21.
The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of
the blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately
1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below
the top surface.
 Push the bevel locking lever to the left for elevation
mode.
 Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel counterclockwise or lower it by turning the
handwheel clockwise.
TO CHANGE bLADE ANGLE
See Figure 22.
NOTE: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45°
bevel.
 Loosen bevel control by pushing the bevel lock lever all
the way to the right.
 Adjust the bevel angle by pushing the wheel in toward the
saw then turning it. Turning the wheel counterclockwise
increases the angle of the blade, bringing it closer to 45°.
Turning it clockwise decreases the angle, bringing the
blade closer to 90°.
 Tighten bevel control by pushing the bevel lock lever to
the left.
TO ADJUST THE bEVEL INDICATOR
See Figure 23.
If the bevel indicator is not at zero when the saw blade is at
90°, adjust the indicator by loosening the screw and setting
it at 0° on the bevel scale. Retighten the screw.
