For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth
adjustment so that half of a blade tooth will project below
the material to be cut (refer to Figure F). This distance is
from the tip of the tooth
(refer to inset of Figure F). This keeps blade friction at a
minimum, removes sawdust from the cut, results in cooler,
faster sawing and reduces the chance of kickback. A method
for checking for correct cutting depth is shown in Figure F.
Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side of
the blade, as shown, and observe how much tooth projects
beyond the material.

Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. A, G)
The full range of the bevel adjustment is from 0˚ to
53˚. Detents are located at 22.5˚ and 45˚. The angle
quadrant is graduated in increments of 1˚. On the front
of the saw is a bevel angle adjustment mechanism which
consists of a calibrated angle quadrant

adjustment lever . The angle quadrant allows for coarse

adjustment or fine adjustment
accuracy in cutting.

To Set the Saw for a Bevel Cut
1. Lift the bevel adjustment lever
to the desired angle by aligning the pointer with the
desired angle mark.

2. Push the bevel adjustment lever down and tighten
securely to lock the angle.
Foot Plate Adjustment for 90˚ Cuts (Fig. H)
If Additional Adjustment is Needed
1. Adjust the saw to 0˚ bevel.
2. Retract blade guard. Place the saw on blade side.
3. Lift bevel adjustment lever. Place a square against the
blade and foot plate to adjust the 90˚ setting.
4. Move the adjustment screw, located on the bottom of
the foot plate (Fig. H), so that the foot plate will stop at
the proper angle.
5. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the
squareness of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
