7.3 Calibrating the bevel angle gauge
The angle gauges are set at the factory, but we recommend that for precision work you
check and if necessary calibrating them as follows:
Fig. 7
 90°Bevel angle: Lock the upper arm in its
lowered position by the release knob (18), and
set bevel and mitre angles to 0°on the angle
gauges. Place a protractor at the side of the
saw blade and table, if the angle is not 90°bevel
angle. Achieve the right angle through turning
the adjustment screw (5) clockwise or counter-
clockwise by using Allen key (supplied) until the
angle is the correct angle, tighten the nut by
using the spanner (supplied). (see Fig. 7)
 45°Bevel angle: Lock the upper arm in its
lowered position by the release knob (18), set
bevel angle to 45°and mitre angle to 0°on the
angle gauges. Place a protractor at the side of
the saw blade and table , if the angle is not 45°
bevel angle. Adjusting the height of the
adjustment screw (15) until the bevel angle is
the correct angle. Finally tighten the nut and
check the angle once more.
8 OPERATION

Check that the saw is correctly set up and that all
handles and bolts are correctly tightened before

Depress the switch button (11) on the handle, allow
the saw reach full speed before starting to cut.
Pull the lock lever for removable guard (2) and
lower the upper arm to the item .
