SETTING THE BEVEL CUTTING ANGLE – cont’d

4.  Slide the base forward to engage the 

bevel angle slot (6) with the indexing 

pin (7) (Fig. 5)

NOTES: 

a) Use a protractor to check the bevel 

angle between the blade and the base.

b) To set the bevel angle at intermediate 

angles, do not slide the base forward. 

5.  Once the desired bevel angle is 

obtained, lock the base by tightening 

base pivot screws.

6.  Make a test cut in a scrap piece of 

material and measure the bevel angle. 

Adjust the bevel angle if necessary.

SETTING THE ORBITAL CUTTING ANGLE

The variable orbital cutting action allows you 

to select one of four different blade angles.

To set the orbital cutting angle, rotate the 

orbital cutting lever forward or backward 

to the desired setting number (1) (Fig. 6).

NOTE:

 

The orbital setting button will "click" at 

each of the four positions. Slide the orbital 

button slightly forward or backward until 

it locks into place.
