Bevel Angle Stops And Detents; Setting Saw To Make A Bevel Cut - Bosch GCM18V-12GDC Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Y Seguridad

For bevel cutting, adjust slid-
ing fence clear of blade path
and guard system.

BEVEL ANGLE STOPS AND DETENTS

• The saw has bevel angle stops that accurately stop at
critical angles: 45° left, 0°, and 45°. It comes facto-
ry-set and should not need to be adjusted. However,
after extensive use or if the tool has received a hard
impact, it may require an adjustment.
• The saw has a bevel angle detent pin 38 which
can only be engaged at 33.9° left or right - this is
the bevel angle required when cutting 38° "spring
angle" crown molding flat on the table. NOTE: If the
bevel detent pin automatically engages at 33.9° and
prevents tilting the saw to another angle, simply pull
it to the front and rotate its cross pin 1/4 turn so it
rests in the disengaged position. If pin is sticking in,
tilt and rock saw head side to side as you pull on it
(see Fig. 52).

SETTING SAW TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT

1. Lift up the bevel lock lever to unlock (see item 14 –
page 12).
2. Choose the desired bevel range using the bevel
range selector knob. NOTE: If in the 0° position and
moving to "0-45° Range," it may be necessary to
move the head assembly slightly to the left before
the selector knob can be turned.
3. Grasp the main handle and tilt the saw head assem-
bly to the desired angle while watching one of the
bevel angle pointers – watch the right pointer when
tilting to the left or the left pointer when tilting to the
right.
4. Continue to hold saw and push down on the bevel
lock lever (with your left hand) to lock. Let go of tool.
5. Follow the chop cut or slide cut procedures in this
manual.
