The blade can be tilted up to 45° to the left using the 

blade tilt wheel (A) located on the right side panel of 

the saw. The angle of tilt is measured by the bevel 

gauge on the front of the saw. To tilt the saw blade: 

1.  Loosen the lock knob (B) counterclockwise and 

turn the hand wheel clockwise. A pointer on 

the front of the saw indicates the angle of tilt in 

½-degree increments.

2.  To lock the saw blade at your desired angle, tighten 

the lock knob by rotating it clockwise.

For most applications, it is recommended that you 

raise the blade 1/8-inch (3.2mm) to 1/4-inch (6.4mm) 

above the top surface of the workpiece.
Raise  or  lower  the  blade  with  the  hand  wheel  (A) 

1. Before raising or lowering the blade, be 

sure to loosen the lock knob (B) by turning it 

counterclockwise.

2.  To raise the saw blade, turn the hand wheel 

clockwise. To lower the saw blade, turn the hand 

wheel counter-clockwise.

3.  Tighten lock knob to keep blade at the desired 

height. Only a small amount of force is required to 

lock the blade raising mechanism securely. Any 

added force merely puts unnecessary strain on the 

locking device.

4.  When done operating the saw, and when 

performing maintenance, adjustments or repairs, 

lower blade below surface of table.
