SETUP
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Allow room on both left and right of
saw for extended workpieces.
4. Use a saw table, saw stand or other means to
support the workpiece. Mount the Miter Saw
so that the surface is level to the ground, and
additional supports provide a surface on the
same level as the saw table. If the work surface
and any workpiece supports are not level, and
on the same level, unwanted bevel angles will
appear in the cuts resulting in poor joinery.
5. Secure workpieces to the saw table using the Clamp
or other clamping devices (not included). Securing
the workpiece will provide safety by preventing kick
back and by removing the need to hold workpieces
near the blade by hand. Clamping the workpiece
will also improve cutting accuracy by preventing the
workpiece from moving during the cutting operation.
General Operating Instructions
MITER SAWS CAN QUICKLY AMPUTATE FINGERS IF MISUSED.
Keep hands well clear of cutting area.
1. Unlock the Head Lockdown Pin – see page 9.
2. Make sure all adjustment knobs are tight
(Miter Knob, Bevel Lock Lever, 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. Press the Laser Switch to ON (I).
Note:
If the laser guide line does not line up with the
cut line, reposition workpiece before making the cut.
7. Grip the Saw Handle, press one of the
Trigger Locks with your thumb, and
squeeze the Trigger to start the Saw.
8. Press down lightly to cut the material.
With narrow material,
press straight down, “chopping” the material.
With wide material,
move the Blade across the material while cutting.
Do not bear down on the material – use
light downward pressure. If the material
binds the blade, release the Trigger.
9. When the cut is completed, raise the blade
assembly, release the Trigger and wait for
the Blade to stop turning. Turn the Laser
Switch OFF (O). Release the Clamp and
remove the work material from the saw.
10. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then
store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
