assembly

attaching the Extension Supports 
and Miter Lock Handle

1. 

Insert the ends of the Extension Supports into 
the holes in the sides of the Base.  Tighten the 
Wing Screws to hold the Extensions in place.  
The upper edge of the Extensions will be level 
with the surface of the saw.  This provides a 
wider base for the work material to rest on.

2. 

Thread the Miter Lock Handle into 
the Plate until securely in place.

attaching the Dust collection Bag

3. 

The Dust Collection Bag slips over the Dust Outlet 
behind the Blade Housing Assembly.  Sawdust 
created by cutting is captured in the bag. 

Mounting the Saw

1. 

The Miter Saw must be mounted on a support 
before use.  This may be a commercially 
available support or home made saw table. 

2. 

There are bolt holes provided in each of the 
four legs of the base.  These should be firmly 
mounted using bolts (not included) to your 
saw stand or saw table (not included).

3. 

This will help prevent tipping or movement of 
the saw, preventing injury.  Also, the use of a 
saw table will make it easier to efficiently handle 
work materials and make more accurate cuts.
