Angle Cutting (Bevel Cutting)
See Figures 11 and 12.
Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right
or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15° increments are
marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the
base. Notches on the rear of the base provide positive
stops at each of the above mentioned 15° increments. A
protractor is recommended when accurate cuts are re-
quired.
For angle cutting, first remove the splinter guard.
■ Using the 1/8 in. hex key provided, loosen the base
pivot screw until the base can be moved.
■ Slide base forward slightly until base pivot screw can
move freely in slots in base.
See Figure 11.
Note: Clamp plate should always be in full rear position,
as shown in figure 11.
■ Align the mark, on the base, of the desired angle with
the edge of the motor housing.
■ Once the desired angle is reached, slide base back until
tab on motor housing aligns with the appropriate notch
on rear of base.
See Figure 12.
Note: When making a set-up for accurate cuts with a
protractor, or for angles other than the preset 15°
increments, the positive stop notches on the rear of
the base are not used.
■ Tighten the base pivot screw securely.
■ Return hex key to storage area.
Note: The wide slot in the base must be used when
making bevel cuts, scroll cuts, plunge cuts, and when
cutting metal.
