4. Your saw is equipped with an adjustable positive stop at the 45
degree bevel position. After making a preliminary setting following the
above steps, make a cut on a piece of scrap wood and check the accuracy
of the setting. Turn set screw (D), Fig. 7, inward or outward as needed
to produce a true 45 degree bevel cut. With the set screw (D) accurately
positioned, the base will return to the same 45 degree setting without
need for visual alignment of the graduation markings.
TO FOLLOW LINE OF CUT
On the right front part of the base, a beveled edge (A), Fig. 8, is provided
to aid the operator in guiding the saw parallel to the desired line of
cut when the saw is set at 90 degrees or at any bevel angle to 45
degrees.

HOW TO USE THE SAW
Your Porter-Cable saw is a right-hand tool. For maximum protection
of the operator, effective control of this powerful saw is best obtained
by two-handed operation.
WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to
hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury. Figure 9 illustrates typical hand support of the
saw.
