FASTENING MACHINE TO SUPPORTING SURFACE
Before operating your compound miter saw, firmly mount it to a sturdy work bench or other supporting
surface. Four holes are provided, two of which are shown at (A) Fig. 11 for fastening the saw to a supporting surface.
When frequently moving the machine from place to place, mount it to a 3/4" piece of plywood. The machine can then
be easily moved and the plywood can be clamped to the supporting surface using “C” clamps.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW
IMPORTANT:
Before starting the saw, lower the cutting arm and make certain the saw blade does not come in
contact with the table insert on its downward travel. The travel of the cuttinghead has been set at the factory. However,
sometimes due to rough handling during shipment or extended use, a minor adjustment to the setting may become
necessary. If the saw blade contacts the table insert, refer to section
“ADJUSTING DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF SAW
BLADE.”
To turn the saw “ON” push in on switch lock key (A) Fig. 13, and depress switch trigger (B). To turn the saw “OFF”
release switch trigger (B).
