OPERATION
TO CHANGE BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 26.
The blade depth should be set so 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.
 Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel counterclockwise.
 Lower the blade by turning the handwheel clockwise.
TO CHANGE BLADE ANGLE
See Figure 27.
NOTE: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel.
 Unplug the saw.
 Unlock the bevel locking lever by pushing the lever 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°.
 Lock the bevel locking lever by pushing the lever to the
left.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR
See Figure 28.
If the bevel indicator is not at zero when the saw blade is at
0°, adjust the indicator by loosening the screw and setting
it at 0° on the bevel scale. Retighten the screw.
