5. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate
(15) enables bevel cutting (See E). The
base plate (15) must always be held
firmly against the material being cut to
reduce saw vibration, blade jumping
or blade breakage (See F).
6. BASE PLATE ANGLE
ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the base plate bevel lock
button (6) and rotate the base plate
(15) to set the bevel angle using the
base plate bevel scale (4) provided.
Then clamp the base plate (15)
position using the lock (6) (See E).
Finally, check the angle and ensure
the base plate is firmly clamped. The
angle markings on the base plate
(15) are accurate for most general
purposes but it is recommended for
accurate work to set the angle with
a protractor and make a test cut on
other material. Do not use the depth of
cut scale when making bevel cuts due
to possible inaccuracy.
7. BEVEL TRACK
The bevel track (9) fixed in front of
the base plate is used as cutting
guide. Always guide it along the
cutting mark made on the workpiece
for accurate cutting.
The cutting mark 0° indicates the
position of the saw blade for right-
angled cuts.
