OPERATION TO CHANGE BLADE DEPTH See Figure 27. The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of the blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the top surface.  Turn the bevel lock lever to the right.  Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel clockwise or lower it by turning the handwheel counterclockwise. TO CHANGE BLADE ANGLE (BEVEL) See Figured 28 - 29. NOTE: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel.  Unplug the saw.  Loosen bevel control by pulling the bevel locking lever up.  Tighten bevel control by pushing the bevel lock lever down. TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR See Figure 29. If the bevel indicator is not at zero when the saw blade is at 90°, adjust the indicator by loosening the screw and setting it at 0° on the bevel scale. Retighten the screw. GULLET BEVEL LOCKING LEVER Fig. 27 TO INCREASE ANGLE TO DECREASE ANGLE Fig. 28 HEIGHT/BEVEL ADJUSTING HANDWHEEL SCREW BEVEL LOCKING LEVER BEVEL INDICATOR 25 - English Fig. 29

OPERATION
TO CHANGE BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 27.
The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of
the blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately
1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below
the top surface.
Turn the bevel lock lever to the right.
Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel clockwise or lower it by turning the handwheel
counterclockwise.
TO CHANGE BLADE ANGLE (BEVEL)
See Figured 28 - 29.
NOTE:
A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel.
Unplug the saw.
Loosen bevel control by pulling the bevel locking lever
up.
Tighten bevel control by pushing the bevel lock lever
down.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR
See Figure 29.
If the bevel indicator is not at zero when the saw blade is at
90°, adjust the indicator by loosening the screw and setting
it at 0° on the bevel scale. Retighten the screw.
