Adjusting depth of cut
The depth of cut may be adjusted by turning the han-
dle. Turn the handle clockwise to raise the blade or
counterclockwise to lower it.
NOTE:
• Use a shallow depth setting when cutting thin materi-
als in order to obtain a cleaner cut.
Adjusting bevel angle
Loosen the lock lever counterclockwise and turn the
handwheel until the desired angle (0° - 45°) is obtained.
The bevel angle is indicated by the arrow pointer.
After obtaining the desired angle, tighten the lock lever
clockwise to secure the adjustment.
CAUTION:
• After adjusting the bevel, be sure to tighten the lock
lever securely.
Adjusting positive stops
The tool is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45°
to the table surface. To check and adjust the positive
stops, proceed as follows:
Move the handwheel as far as possible by turning it.
Place a triangular rule on the table and check to see if
the blade is at 90° or 45° to the table surface. If the
blade is at an angle shown in Fig. A, turn the adjusting
screws clockwise; if it is at an angle shown in Fig. B,
turn the adjusting screws counterclockwise to adjust
the positive stops.
