OPERATION TO CHANGE BLADE DEPTH See Figure 25. 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 Figure 26. This table saw has a rack and pinion bevel control that allows you to make angled cuts from 90° to 45°. NOTE: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel.  Unplug the saw.  Loosen bevel control by turning bevel lock lever all the way to the left. If it needs to be further loosened, pull GULLET spring-loaded bevel lock lever out and rotate it back to the right. Release bevel locking lever and allow it to seat (lock) in its original position. Turn it to the left again until loose.  Move the height adjusting handwheel to the right to bevel to 45° bevel angle.  Tighten bevel control by turning bevel lock lever to the right. If it needs to be tightened more, pull the springloaded bevel lock lever out and rotate it to the left. Then release bevel lock lever and allow it to return to its original position. Rotate to the right again. Repeat this process until bevel lock lever is securely tightened. TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR See Figure 27. 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.
