Bevel angle

(1)

0° bevel angle

Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten the knob to secure the carriage.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the low-
ered position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool. Make
sure that the arm is locked.
Turn the hex bolt on the left side of the arm
two or three revolutions counterclockwise.
Turn the hex bolt on the right side of the arm
two or three revolutions counterclockwise to
tilt the blade to the left.

Carefully square the side of the blade with the
top surface of the turn base using the triangu-
lar rule, try-square, etc. by turning the hex
bolt on the right side of the arm clockwise.
Turn the hex bolt on the left side of the arm
clockwise as far as it will go. Then tighten the
lever securely.

Make sure that the two pointers on the arm
point to each 0° on the bevel scale on the arm
holder. If they do not point to 0°, loosen the
screws which secure the pointers and adjust
them so that they will point to 0°.

(2)

45° bevel angle

Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after perform-
ing 0° bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left
45° bevel angle, loosen the lever and tilt the
blade to the left fully. Make sure that the
pointer on the arm points to 45° on the bevel
scale on the arm holder. If the pointer does
not point to 45°, turn the left 45° bevel angle
adjusting bolt on the side of the arm holder
until the pointer points to 45°.
To adjust right 45° bevel angle, perform the
same procedure described above.

Adjusting for smooth beveling action

The hex lock nut holding together the arm and arm
holder has been factory adjusted to assure smooth bev-
eling action and to guarantee precise cutting. Do not
tamper with it. Should looseness develop at the arm and
arm holder connection, tighten the hex lock nut using a
wrench.
