With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in
the center of the bevel slot in the base.

You need not bore a starting hole or make a
lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows.
1.
Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with

the blade point positioned just above the work-
piece surface.
2.
Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of
the base will not move when you switch on the tool
and gently lower the back end of the tool slowly.
3.
As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower
the base of the tool down onto the workpiece
surface.
