hi there!
i have a Dewalt 305mm double bevelled sliding compound mitre saw.
i can tilt the saw to the left for a left bevel cut, but the saw will not tilt to the right for a right bevel cut. is there another lever or something at the back that i can adjust for the right bevel cut?
the saw is 2 years old.
regards

pawnhead 15th December 2007, 03:38 AM There should be an upside down V shaped button on the back of the guide rail, that you depress to tilt it past perpendicular to the right.

pawnhead 15th December 2007, 09:41 AM It may be an 'un-blokey' thing to do, but when all else fails, read the instructions. :wink:
Edit; It may be hard to press if you're pushing the saw to the right. Tilt it slightly to the left and the button should press in easily.

Look for the V mine has it at the back you just press and lift it.(or something like it)
