Q: How do I set the rake angle?
Align the '0' mark on the file holder with the 5° graduation on the body nearest your target angle, then rotate the vernier scale until it matches the remaining degrees.

Align the '0' mark on the file holder with the 5° graduation on the body nearest your target angle, then rotate the vernier scale until it matches the remaining degrees.
Rake angle is set with the rotating collar and controls the file's tilt along the tooth, while fleam angle is set with the fence and controls the bevel across the tooth, so use the collar for rake and the fence for fleam.
Yes, a rip saw is filed with the fleam angle at 0°, while a crosscut saw needs alternating angles set with the adjustable fence.
Wipe metal filings off this saw file holder after each use, and periodically remove the rake angle locking knob to pull the file holder out of the body and clear filings that have built up inside.
