WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
DRY RUN - It is important to know
where the blade will intersect with the workpiece
during cutting operations. Always perform a
simulated cutting sequence with the power tool
switched OFF to gain an understanding of the
projected path of the saw blade. At some extreme
angles, the left side fence might have to be removed
to ensure proper clearance prior to making the cut
.
To reduce the risk of injury, return
carriage to the full rear position after each
crosscut operation
.
The left side sliding fence must be
removed when making any left bevel angle cuts
greater than 33.9° in combination with any right
or left miter angle. This fence must also be
removed whenever a 45° bevel angle is desired
with a miter angle greater than 31.6°
.
Removing
1. Unlock the fence cam locking lever (1) by pushing it out
toward the rear of the machine.
2. Align the slot (2) with the bolt (3) in the rear of the fence,
and then lift up the sliding fence to remove it from the saw.
Installing
1. Align the slot (2) with the bolt (3) in the rear of the fence
to place the sliding fence onto the miter saw fence.
2. Slide the nut (4) to align the nut (4) with the slot (5).
3. To lock the sliding fence, push the cam locking lever (1)
in toward the front of the machine.
QUICK-CAM MITER TABLE LOCK OPERATION
(FIG. GG)
If miter angles required are NOT one of the nine positive
stops, the miter table can be locked at any angle between
these positive stops by using the quickcam miter table lock.
1. Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the quick-cam miter
table lock (1).
2. While holding the positive stop locking lever (2) up, grasp
the miter handle (3) and move the miter table left or right
to the desired angle.
3. Release the positive stop locking lever (2).
4. Press down on the quick-cam miter table lock (1) until
it locks the miter table in place.
NOTE
: The quick-cam miter table lock should lock the
table and prevent it from moving. If adjustment is needed,
see the section of
“QUICK-CAM MITER TABLE LOCK
ADJUSTMENT”
.
MITER DETENT OVERRIDE
(FIG. HH)
The miter detent override allows for the table to be micro
adjusted, disengaging the positive detent stops feature. When
a required miter angle is close to a positive detent stop, this
override prevents the wedge on the miter arm from slipping
into that detent slot on the base.
1. Unlock the miter table by pulling up on the quick-cam
miter locking lever (1).
NOTE
: The miter handle (2) does not lock or unlock
the table.
2. While holding the miter handle (2), pull upward the
positive miter stop locking lever (3) and press the override
lock (4) IN, then release the positive stop locking lever (3)
while holding the override lock (4) in. The detent override
is now engaged.
3. Turn the table to the desired angle, secure the table
at the desired angle by pressing the quick-cam miter
locking lever (1).
1. For chop cutting operations on small workpieces, slide the
cutting head assembly completely toward the rear of the
unit and tighten the sliding carriage lock knob (1).
2. To cut wide boards up to 12-1/2 in., the sliding carriage
lock knob (1) must be loosened to allow the cutting head
to slide freely.
