BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 17 and 18.
To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.
Align the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on
the base when making 45
°
bevel cuts.
Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to
determine how much you should offset the guideline on
the cutting material.
Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between
zero and 51.5
°
. Refer to "TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING"
next.
NOTE:
Pull the adjustment lever all the way up to set the
angle at 51.5
°
.
WARNING:
The tool should never be connected to a power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or
when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool
will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
