the desired angle setting on the bevel scale (0-50°).
NOTE: There are detentes in the bevel scale to make it
easier to set the blade angle at 45°, 30°, 22.5°, or 15°.
Rotate the bevel adjustment lever clockwise until the
motor housing is securely locked in place.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel

in serious injury.
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 21, page 18.
WARNING:
Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making
a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other
setting can result in loss of control of the saw
possibly causing serious injury.
Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade
guard handle.

Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the
battery pack is removed from the saw and the
switch is in the OFF position. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
POSITIVE 0° BEVEL STOP
See Figure 22, page 18.
The saw has a positive 0° bevel stop that has been factory
adjusted to assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making
90° cuts. However, misalignment can occur during shipping.
To check positive 0° bevel stop:
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
Place the saw in an upside down position on a workbench.
WARNING:
Never extend your fingers while holding the lower
blade guard handle. Extending your fingers may
result in contact with the blade, causing serious
injury.
Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with
the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch
the workpiece.
DANGER:
Always check to insure that your fingers are clear
of the blade before depressing the switch trigger.
Contact with the blade will cause serious injury.
Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger
to start the saw. Always let the blade reach full speed
then slowly lower blade into the workpiece until base is
flat against workpiece.
Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket
cutting. Cutting in the reverse direction could
cause the saw to climb up on the workpiece and
back toward you.
Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
Lift the saw from the workpiece.
Clear corners out with a hand saw or jig saw.
Move the lower blade guard out of the way so that the
saw blade is exposed.
Check the squareness of the saw blade to the base of
the saw using a combination square.
To adjust positive 0° bevel stop:
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
Rotate the bevel adjustment lever counterclockwise to
release.
