Bevel angle
Push the latch lever forward fully to release the positive
stops.
1)
0° bevel angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull the lock
lever towards the front of the saw to secure the car-
riage. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the low-
ered position by pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen
the lever at the rear of the tool. (Fig. 58)
Turn the hex socket bolt on the right side of the arm
holder two or three revolutions counterclockwise to
tilt the blade to the right. (Fig. 59)
Carefully square the side of the blade with the top
surface of the turn base using the triangular rule, try-
square, etc. by turning the hex socket bolt on the
right side of the arm holder clockwise. Then tighten
the lever securely. (Fig. 60)
Make sure that the pointers on the arm holder point
to each 0° on the bevel scale on the arm. If they do
not point to 0°, loosen the screws which secure the
pointers and adjust them so that they will point to 0°.
(Fig. 61)
2)
45° bevel angle (Fig. 62)
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 holder
points to 45° on the bevel scale on the arm. If the
pointer does not point to 45°, turn the left 45° bevel
angle adjusting bolt on the side of the arm until the
pointer points to 45°.
To adjust right 45° bevel angle, perform the same
procedure described above.

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 deciding the correct position of the line in rela-
tion to the blade, return the handle to the original
position. Secure the workpiece with the vertical vise
without shifting the workpiece from the pre-checked
position.

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

range of laser line is factory adjusted within 1 mm from
the side surface of blade.)
