(2) 45° bevel angle
Fig.57
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after
performing 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
Fig.58
The hex lock nut holding together the arm and arm
holder has been factory adjusted to assure smooth
beveling 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.

For both adjustments, do as follows.
1. Make sure that the tool is unplugged.
2. Draw the cutting line on the workpiece and place it
on the turn table. At this time, do not secure the
workpiece with a vise or similar securing device.
3. Lower the blade by lowering the handle and just
check to see where the cutting line and the
position of the saw blade is. (Decide which
position to cut on the line of cut.)
4. After decision the position to be cut, return the
handle to the original position. Secure the
workpiece with the vertical vise without shifting
the workpiece from the pre-checked position.
5. Plug the tool and turn on the laser switch.
6. Adjust the position of laser line as follows.
The position of laser line can be changed as the
movable range of the adjusting screw for the laser is
changed by turning two screws with a hex wrench. (The
movable range of laser line is factory adjusted within 1
mm from the side surface of blade.)
To shift the laser line movable range further away from
the side surface of blade, turn the two screws
counterclockwise after loosening the adjusting screw.
Turn these two screws clockwise to shift it closer to the
side surface of the blade after loosening the adjusting
screw.

Refer to the section titled "Laser line action" and adjust
the adjusting screw so that the cutting line on your
workpiece is aligned with the laser line.
