WARNING:
If the wing bolt (A) is
loose, injury can result.
Tighten it securely after
adjustment.
As shown in Fig. 15 by loosening the wing
bolt (A) on the inclined gauge, the saw
blade may be inclined to a maximum
angle of 45° in relation to the base. Always
insure that the wing bolt (A) is thoroughly
tightened after making the desired
adjustment.
NOTE: Values of the inclined gauge pro-
vided on the base merely serve as
a rough guideline. For cutting
operation at an inclined posture,
use the circular saw after adjust-

and the saw blade with a protrac-
tor, etc.

The cutting position can be regulated by
moving the guide to the left or right after
loosening its wing-bolt. The guide may
be mounted on either the right or left side
of the tool.
