Dust bag
CAUTION:
When performing a cutting, always
attach the dust bag or connect a vacuum cleaner
to prevent dust-related hazards.
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, remove
the dust extraction hose from the tool and connect the
dust bag to the dust nozzle (upper dust port).

When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty
the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise or crown molding stoppers.
Failure to
do so may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the miter saw,
support the entire length of the material beyond
the support base keeping the material level.
Proper workpiece support helps to avoid blade pinch
and possible kickback which may result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely solely on the vertical
vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over
its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
KICKBACK.

Guide fences
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make
sure that the upper fence is secured firmly.
WARNING:
Before bevel-cutting, make sure
that no part of the tool, especially the saw blade,
contacts the upper and lower fences when fully
lowering and raising the handle in any position
and while moving the carriage through its full
range of travel.
If the tool or blade makes contact
with the fence, this may result in kickback or unex-
pected movement of the material and serious per-
sonal injury.
