See Figures lO and 11.

Bevel cuttingangles may be adjustedfrom0° to 45°

rightor left.Anglesfor cuts from 0° to 45° in 15°

incrementsare markedon a scale on the frontof the

saw base. A protractoris recommended when accu-

rate cuts are required.

• Usinga screwdriver,loosenthe base pivotscrew

untilthe base can move freely in slot in base.

• Adjustbase untilmark on scale (desiredangle)

alignswiththe parting line located on the front of

• Once the desiredangle is reached, tightenthe

base pivotscrew securely. See Figure 10.

Note: The largeopeninginthe base must be used

when making bevel cuts,scrollcuts,plunge cuts, and

TO MAKE A PLUNGE CUT

• Markthe line of cut clearly on the workpiece.

• Set the cuttingangle at 0°.

• Tiltyoursawforwardsothat it restsonthe frontedge

of the base,and the bladewill notcome incontact

withthe workpiecewhenthe saw isturnedon.

• Make sure the blade is insidethe area to be cut.

• Using highspeed, start your saw and slowlylower

the blade intothe workpiece untilthe blade cuts

throughthe wood. See Figure 12.

• Continue loweringthe bladeinto the workpiece

untilthe base restsflat on the worksurface, then
