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
and then tighten bevel adjustment lever (Fig. 7).
For bevel adjustments above 45° loosen bevel
adjustment lever, depress 45° stop spring (Fig.
8), align foot to desired angle mark over 45 ° on
quadrant and tighten lever.
For bevel cutting, place adjustable auxiliary
handle on the motor side to eliminate
interference with work piece.
Because of the increased

amount
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.
LINE GUIDE
For a 0° cut, use the large notch in the foot.
For 45° bevel cuts, use the small notch (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.
SAW HOOK
To use, lift up hook until it snaps into the
open position.
When not in use, always lower hook until it
snaps into the closed position.
