ANGLE CUTTING (BEVEL CUTTING)
See Figures 10 - 11.
Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right
or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15° increments are
marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the base.
Notches on the rear of the base provide positive stops at
each of the above mentioned 15° increments. A protractor
is recommended when accurate cuts are required.
