To set miter angle:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Release miter lock lever (shown in Figure 19).
Adjusting Miter
Angle
The head and column rotate 90° left or right of
center for precise angled cuts. The miter scale
shows the angle of the blade, and the miter lock
lever secures the angle for repeated cuts.
Ensure saw is properly mounted to floor before
performing cuts (see
Page 15), as saw base can
shift with larger workpieces.
Changing Blade
The Model G0783 uses an 11" saw blade designed
for cutting rectangular, square, and round metal
workpieces.
Metal cutting blades should be checked regular-
ly for wear or damage to ensure a high-quality
workpiece finish and to determine if replacement
is necessary.
