Positioning for adjusting the bevel angle
The saw blade tilts up to 45" to the left and right. To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the
lever at the rear of the tool. Unlock the arm by pushing the handle somewhat strongly in
the direction that you intend to tilt the saw blade. Tilt the saw blade until the pointer points
to the desired angle on the bevel scale. Tighten the lever to secure the arm.
