KNOW YOUR SLIDING COMPOUND 

MITER SAW  

The safe use of this saw requires an 

understanding of the information on the 

tool and in this Operator’s Manual, as well 

as knowledge of the project you are 

attempting. Before use of this saw, 

familiarize yourself with all of the operating 

features and safety rules.  

10 INCH BLADE 

 

Your compound miter saw is designed to 

be used ONLY with a 10 inch blade with 

5/8 inch arbor. 

Equipped with a 10 inch, 48 tooth, and 

general purpose blade.  

15 AMP MOTOR 

 

This saw has a powerful 15 AMP motor 

with sufficient power to handle tough 

cutting jobs.  

BEVEL-LOCK LEVER 

 

To lock the saw at desired bevel angles.  

CARRYING HANDLES 

 

For convenience when carrying or 

transporting the miter saw from one place 

to another, carrying handles are located on 

the top of the saw arm and the end of the 

slide bar.  

ELECTRIC BRAKE 

 

The electric brake quickly stops blade 

rotation after the On/Off trigger is released.  

LED WORK LIGHT 

 

LED work light shines on the work area for 

improved visibility.  

LASER 

 

Laser projects a laser cutting line on the 

work area for improved cutting accuracy. 

MITER-LOCK HANDLE 

 

The miter-lock handle securely locks the 

miter table at the desired miter angle.  

MITER-LATCH BUTTON 

When pushing the miter latch button down, 

it will release the miter table from pre-set 

index points. 

POSITIVE STOPS ON MITER TABLE 

 

Positive stops at right and left 0°, 15°, 

22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. 

LOWER BLADE GUARD 

 

The lower blade guard is made of shock-

resistant, translucent plastic that provides 

protection from each side of the blade. It 

retracts over the upper blade guard as the 

saw is lowered into the work piece.  

SPINDLE-LOCK BUTTON 

 

The spindle-lock button locks the spindle 

while installing, changing, or removing 

blade. 

MULTI-SLIDE BAR 

 

When unlocked, the saw arm will glide 

forward and backward the length of the 

multi-slide bar for cutting various work-

piece width. 

SLIDE-LOCK KNOB 

 

The slide-lock knob locks and unlocks the 

sliding bars of this tool.  

UPPER SLIDING FENCE 

 

Upper fences adjustable for added 

precision.  

WORK PIECE CLAMP 

 

The work piece clamp is mounted on the 

left or right side of the base behind the 

fence to securely clamp the work piece.  

DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENT BOLT 

 

The depth stop adjustment is a feature 

used when cutting grooves in the work 

piece. The depth adjustment is used to 

limit the blade depth.
