WARNING:
In order to avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter-
lock lever securely before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement
of the control arm or miter table while making a cut.
3. Pull out the locking pin in order to release the saw arm.
4. To make a bevel cut, loosen the bevel-lock knob (Fig. 1, #22) by turning the
knob counter-clockwise.
5. Tilt the saw arm to the desired bevel angle, as indicated on the bevel scale.
The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90° straight cut (0 on the
scale) to a 45°left bevel (Fig. 12).
WARNING:
Tighten the bevel-lock knob in order to secure the saw arm in
position.
6. Place the workpiece flat on the miter table, with one edge securely against
the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the
concave edge of the board is against the fence, the board could collapse on the
blade at the end of the cut, and jam the blade (Fig. 14 and 15).
7. Align the red laser line so that it is touching the right edge of the pencil line
on the workpiece.
8. Use the hold-down clamp to secure the workpiece against the Miter Saw
table and fence.
9. When cutting long workpiece, support the opposite end of the workpiece with a
roller stand or with another work surface that is level with the saw table.
CAUTION:
Never use another person as an additional support for a workpiece
that is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to help feed, support, or pull
the workpiece.
WARNING:
In order to avoid serious personal injury, always keep hands out-
side the “No-Hands Zone”, as marked on the saw table, or at least 3” (7.6 cm)
away from the blade. Also, never perform any cutting operation “freehand” (i.e.:
without holding the workpiece against the fence), because the blade could grab
the workpiece, causing it to slip and twist.
10. Before turning the saw on, perform a trial of the cutting operation by lowering
the saw arm to make sure no problems will occur when the cut is made.
11. Hold the saw handle, and use the index finger to turn the laser switch on by
pushing it forward.
12. To turn the saw on, push the safety lock-off button in with the thumb while
squeezing the On/Off trigger switch located under the handle (Fig. 1, #1 and
#3). Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
13. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
