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 holder. If the
pointer does not point to 45°, turn the 45°

the arm holder until the pointer points to 45°.
To adjust the right 5° bevel angle, perform
the same procedure as that described above.
