TO BEVEL CUT
The angl_ of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any
desired setting between zero and 50°. NOTE: When
making cuts at 50°, blade shouldbe set at full depth of
cut.
When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the
saw base tohelp you line up the blade with the line of
cut: See Figure 19.

Align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch
on the saw base when making 45° bevel cuts.
Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles
require different settings, always make a trial cut
in scrap material along a guideline to determine
how much you should offset the guideline on the
board to be cut.
When making a bevel cut holdyour saw firmly with
both hands as shown in figure 20.
