Bevel Cutting - Makita M583 Instruction Manual

CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
•
clamping screw securely.
Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and
move the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut,
secure the base by tightening the clamping screw.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
