TRANSPORTING THE SAW (FIG. N)
WARNING
WARNING
To avoid injury from unexpected saw
movement:
To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS lock the miter lock handle, bevel lock
handle, lock down pin before transporting saw.
• Before moving the miter saw, disconnect the power cord
from the outlet, and lock the cutting arm in the lower
position using the hold-down latch.
NOTE: The hold-down latch is for carrying or storing the
tool. It is not to be used for holding the saw while cutting.
Lower the cutting head and press in hold-down latch to
secure the cutting head.
• Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or by the
trigger switch handle. Carrying the tool by the power
cord could cause damage to the insulation or wire
connections and result in electric shock or fire.
• To avoid injury from flying debris, do not allow visitors to
stand behind the saw.
• Place the saw on a firm, level workbench where there is
room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
• Support the saw on a level work surface.
• Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
Mounting instructions:
For stationary use, place the saw in the desired location,
directly on a workbench where there is room for handling and
proper support of the workpiece. The base of the saw has
four 3/8 in. mounting holes. Select the proper mounting
holes based on the size of bolts used. Bolt the base of the
miter saw (1) to the workbench (5), using the fastening
method as shown in Fig. K.
NOTE: To avoid damage, never carry the miter saw by the
switch handle. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS secure all clamps, knobs, latches and locks before
lifting the saw.
1. Never carry the saw by the switch handle, miter clamp or
cutting head. The carrying handle is appropriate for when
the saw is folded only. When saw is not folded, the hand
holds should be used.
2. ALWAYS use the support base when storing the saw
vertically.
USING THE SUPPORT BASE (FIG. L, M)
1. Fold the miter saw. (See the section of “FOLDING THE
CUTTING HEAD FOR TRANSPORTATION AND
STORAGE” on page 9.)
2. Place the support base (1) on a flat surface or ground as
shown in Fig. M.
3. Align the feet (2) of the saw base with the grooves (3) of
the support base (1) and then insert the folded saw into
the support base (1), so that the saw is stably balanced.
