To learn more about the ONE-KEY™ function-

To prevent the tool from sliding, falling or tipping
from a raised work surface during operation, the
saw should be mounted to a supporting surface
such as a level, sturdy work table, bench, or mitre
saw stand. Position the saw and workbench to
allow adequate room for cross-cutting long
workpieces. To mount the saw to a flat surface,
insert fasteners through the holes in the corners of
the saw base and secure. Follow manufacturer
instructions when mounting to a mitre saw stand.
Always use clean, sharp blades. Dull blades tend to
overload the tool, bind, and cause pinching. Use
only 305mm (12”) sliding mitre saw blades rated at
least 5000 RPM.
Select saw blades that correctly match material
intended to be cut. The saw blade must match the
markings on the saw including bore diameter and
maximum kerf of the blade.
WARNING
Raise the lower guard and hold up while raising
the saw head. Let go of the lower guard. The
lower guard will remain up in the blade-changing
OPEN
position.
Be careful not to lower the guard
head while changing the blade;
the lowerguard will fall back into place to cover
the blade and pinch hands and fingers.
