BEVEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
The full range of the Bevel Adjustment is from 0 TO 50 DEGREES.
The quadrant is graduated in increments of 5 degrees.
On the front of the saw is a bevel angle adjustment mechanism
(Figure 8) consisting of a calibrated quadrant and a lever or knob. To
set the saw for a bevel cut, loosen (counterclockwise) the quadrant
knob and tilt shoe to the desired angle by aligning the pointer with the
desired angle mark. Retighten knob firmly (clockwise).
NOTE: The quadrant pointer, located between the quadrant knob
and the quadrant, can be adjusted after loosening its screw.
Retighten firmly after adjustment.
KERF INDICATOR
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator (Figure 8) for vertical
and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw along
cutting lines penciled on the material being cut. The indicator lines
up with the left (inner) side of the saw blade, which makes the slot or
"kerf" cut by the moving blade fall to the right of the indicator. Guide
along the penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste or
surplus material – See Figure 9. Figure 9 shows the dimensions of
the shoe. The right dimension is 1-1/2" (standard 2x lumber).
SHOE ALIGNMENT
Your saw has been set at the factory for accurate vertical cuts (a 90
degree angle between the bottom of the shoe and the blade). The
edge of the shoe has also been set parallel to the blade so that it
will not bind when using an edge guide. If the saw should ever need
adjustment, it may be done as follows:
ADJUSTING FOR 90° CUTS
1.
DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY.
2.
Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
3.
Place saw on blade side (Fig. 10). Retract blade guard.
4.
Loosen quadrant lever or knob (Fig. 10). Place a square
against the blade and shoe to adjust the 90° setting.
