See Figures 54 - 55.
The angle settings of the saw have been set at the factory
and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require set-
ting during assembly. After extensive use, they may need
to be checked.

Lock the angle by pushing the bevel locking lever down
and retighten the adjustment screw.

the bevel indicator.

screw and the bevel locking lever.
