(1) 0° bevel angle
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the
lowered position by pushing in the stopper
pin. Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool.
Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt on the
right side of the turn base two or three
revolutions clockwise to tilt the blade to the right.
Carefully square the side of the blade with
the top surface of the turn base using the
triangular rule, try-square, etc. by turning the
0° bevel angle adjusting bolt
counterclockwise.

Make sure that the pointer on the turn base
point to 0° on the bevel scale on the arm. If it
does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which
secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so
that it will point to 0°.

(2) 45° bevel angle

Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after
performing 0° bevel angle adjustment. To
adjust left 45° bevel angle, loosen the lever
and tilt the blade to the left fully. Make sure
that the pointer on the arm points to 45° on
the bevel scale on the arm. If the pointer
does not point to 45°, turn the 45° bevel
angle adjusting bolt on the left side of the
arm until the pointer points to 45°.
Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.59
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
