To avoid injury from accidental start-
ing, remove plug from power source
outlet before making any adjustments.
1. Switch Lock-Off Release Button
– One of these
two buttons must be pressed before the power
switch can be pressed.
2. Power Switch
– The power switch used with the
“Lock-OFF” button energizes the unit.
3. Main Handle
– This handle contains the power
switch. Pulling this handle down lowers the blade
into the workpiece.
4. Brush Caps
– These caps keep the motor brush-
es in position and provide easy access for inspect-
ing and replacing brushes.
5. Lower Blade Guard/Lower Guard Lip
– The
lower blade guard helps protect your hands from
the spinning blade. It retracts as the blade is low-
ered. Lip can be used to raise the lower guard
when guard becomes jammed on a workpiece.
6. Blade
– Use only 12" blades with 1" arbor hole.
7. Sliding Fence
– Supports the workpiece. The
fence has a cast in scale to make repetitive cuts
easy. The fence also has holes to secure an aux-
iliary fence if desired.
8. Kerf Inserts
– Kerf inserts can be adjusted to dif-
ferent blade widths to minimize workpiece tear-
out.
9. Miter Detent Override
– Allows detent action to
be locked out allowing for micro adjustments to
any miter angle.
10. Miter Scale/Miter Angle Indicator
– This scale
is cast in on the base of the saw. Indicator is fas-
tened to the table.
11. Miter Detents
– There are ten (10) miter detent
slots for fast and accurate miter cuts of common
miter angles.
12. Miter Detent Lever
– The lever releases the
table from the detent.
13. Miter Lock Knob
– The miter lock knob locks the
miter saw table at any desired miter angle.
14. Table
– Sits in base, provides workpiece support,
rotates for desired miter cuts and rotates the
head assembly. The front extended part of the
table is called the miter arm.
15. Base
– Provides working surface to support
workpiece.
16. Tool Mounting Pads
– The four corners of the
saw provide areas to clamp, bolt or nail the saw
to a flat work surface.
17. Sliding Base Extensions
– These extensions
provide extra workpiece support and are espe-
cially useful when cutting long workpieces.
