General Operating Instructions
DANGER!
MITER SAWS CAN QUICKLY AMPUTATE FINGERS IF MISUSED.
Keep hands well clear of cutting area.
1. Unlock the Head Lock-down. Refer to page 9.
2. Make sure all adjustment knobs are tight
(Miter Knob, Bevel Lock Knob, Fence
and Table Extension Knobs).
3. Blow any sawdust or debris away from the Fence.
Place the work material against the Fence.
4. Align the marked location of the cut on
the work material with the saw blade.
Note:
To prevent your workpiece from being
cut too short, align the edge of the blade with
your measured mark, keeping the rest of
the blade on the waste side of the cut.
5. Hold the work material in place using the
Clamp. Ensure that the work material is
level and supported securely. Use saw
horses or supports if necessary.
6. Grip the Saw Handle, press one of the Trigger
Locks with your thumb, and squeeze the
Trigger to start the Saw and the laser guide.
Note:
If the laser guide line does not line up
with the cut line, release Trigger and reposition
workpiece before making the cut.
7. With narrow material, press down lightly to
cut the workpiece. Press straight down,
“chopping” the material. Do not bear down on
the material — use light downward pressure.
If the material binds the blade, release the Trigger.
8. With wide material, move the Blade across
the workpiece while cutting as follows:
a. Loosen Slide Lock Knob and pull
Saw Head Assembly forward.
b. Press down on the Saw Handle.
c. Push the Saw Head toward the rear to
make the cut. Refer to Figure E.
Do not bear down on the material — use light
downward and lateral pressure. If the material
binds the blade, release the Trigger.

store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
