Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. 1, 9)
The full range of the bevel adjustment is from

J
0° to 57°. The quadrant is graduated in
increments of 1°. On the front of the saw is a
bevel angle adjustment mechanism consisting
of a calibrated quadrant and a bevel
adjustment lever (J).
TO SET THE SAW FOR A BEVEL CUT
1. Loosen (counterclockwise) the bevel
adjustment lever (J) and tilt shoe (E,
Fig. 1) to the desired angle by aligning
the pointer with the desired angle mark.
2. Retighten lever firmly (clockwise).
Shoe Adjustment for 90°Cuts (Fig. 9, 10)

2. Retract the lower blade
guard. Place the saw on
blade side.
3. Loosen bevel adjustment
lever (J, Fig. 9). Place a
square against the blade
and shoe to adjust the 90°
setting.
4. Turn the calibration screw
(Q) so that the shoe 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.
Kerf Indicator (Fig. 11)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator (I) for vertical and bevel
cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw along cutting lines
penciled on the material being cut. The kerf indicator lines up with
the left (outer) side of the saw blade, which makes the slot or “kerf”
cut by the moving blade fall to the right of the indicator. Guide along
the penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste or surplus
material.
