Bevel range selector knob
– This saw has
a front control on the right side of the table
arm. This is called the bevel range selector
knob
41
. It is linked to stops and locking
mechanisms in the rear which control the
tool’s ability to quickly and accurately be
positioned to make bevel cuts. There are
positive stops at the important 45° left, 0°
(vertical), and 45° right angles (see Fig.
49).
USING THE BEVEL RANGE SELECTOR

Bevel Range 1 = 0-45° Left
This left-side bevel range is the default set-

saw assembly and relock (Fig. 51).
2.
Lift bevel lock lever above table height
with left hand.

Grasp the main handle with the right
hand and tilt the saw assembly to the
angle desired.

NOTE: Without turning the saw “ON”, per-

the guards and adjust if necessary.
