It also has a maximum bevel capacity of 57°, with bevel stops at 22.5° and 45° for precise angled cuts.

Using the DeWalt DCS578B circular saw is straightforward. First, make sure you have a fully - charged battery (sold separately) and insert it properly into the saw. Before starting, check that the blade is securely tightened with the included blade wrench. When making a cut, hold the saw firmly with both hands. Place the base of the saw on the material you want to cut and align the blade with your cutting line. Press the trigger to start the saw and guide it slowly along the cutting line. For angled cuts, adjust the bevel angle to your desired setting (you can use the bevel stops at 22.5° and 45° for common angles). Safety is important. Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying debris. Keep your hands away from the blade at all times. When you're done using the saw, remove the battery to prevent accidental starts. For maintenance, after each use, clean the saw with a dry cloth to remove sawdust and debris. Periodically check the blade for wear and replace it if it's dull or damaged. Store the saw in a dry place to prevent rust and other damage.
