OPERATION
TO BEVEL CUT
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any desired
setting between zero and 50
°
. NOTE: When making cuts at
50
°
, blade should be set at full depth of cut.
When making 45
°
bevel cuts, there is a notch in the saw base
to help you line up the blade with the line of cut.
See Figure 19.
Align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on the
saw base when making 45
°
bevel cuts.
Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles require
different settings, always make a trial cut in scrap material
along a guideline to determine how much you should
offset the guideline on the board to be cut.
When making a bevel cut hold your saw firmly with both
hands as shown in figure 20.
Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece. Depress
the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger to start
your saw. Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide
your saw into the workpiece.
WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it
reaches full speed could cause saw to "kickback" toward
you resulting in serious injury.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the
blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has
stopped, lift your saw from the workpiece.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
■
Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from saw could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious personal
injury.
■
Loosen bevel adjustment knob.
See Figure 19.
■
Raise motor housing end of saw until you reach desired
angle setting on bevel scale.
See Figure 19.
■
Tighten bevel adjustment knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting bevel cut without knob securely tightened can
result in serious injury.
