1.
(SEE FIGURE 8)
The bevel angle (or Saw Blade
tilt capacity) may be adjusted from 0 - 45° to
the left. To do so, loosen the lever (1) located
at the rear of the miter saw.
2. Tilt the control arm assembly (2) until the
desired bevel angle of cut is achieved as
indicated on the scale (3). Then, re-tighten the
lever to lock the control arm assembly in place.

To Adjust the Cutting Depth
CAUTION:
Always check cutting depth after
changing blades.
1. The depth of cut may be adjusted to a
maximum of 3-9/16” at 90°, and 2-3/16” at 45°.
2.
(SEE FIGURE 9)
Slightly loosen the depth stop
screw (1) and lower the control handle (2)
downward as far as it will go. Observe whether
the edge of the Saw Blade (3) passes
completely through the table insert (4).
3. If the saw blade does not pass completely
through the table insert, lower the saw blade
further by loosening depth stop screw.
4. After adjustment, press down on the control
handle and slide the blade forward and back
making sure the saw blade does not contact
the bottom of the table (5) or any other part of
the saw base.
5. If the saw blade touches the table or any other
part of the saw base, tighten the depth stop
screw to raise the saw blade slightly until
it clears.

OPERATION
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. THE ADJUSTMENT KNOBS MUST BE TIGHTENED
SECURELY FOR ALL CUTTING OPERATIONS.
To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the
miter, bevel and accessory locking knobs securely before making a cut. Failure to do so could
result in movement of the saw arm or rotary table while cutting.
WARNING:
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER PERFORM ANY CUTTING OPERATION FREEHAND
(WITHOUT HOLDING WORKPIECE AGAINST THE FENCE).
The blade could grab the workpiece if
it slips or twists. To avoid throw-back of the workpiece always hold the workpiece against
the fence.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER PLACE YOUR HANDS NEAR THE SAW BLADE
WHILE PERFORMING ANY CUTTING OPERATION.
To avoid serious personal injury:
• Always keep your hands at least 3 inches from the saw blade.
• Never cross arms in front of blade.
• Clamp all workpieces.
• Never reach around or behind the saw blade.
WARNING: CHEMICAL HAZARD.
Use of this tool may cause exposure to chemicals that are
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Dust
and debris created during cutting, drilling, grinding or sanding on some materials may contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline Silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and Chromium from chemically- treated lumber.
To reduce exposure to these chemicals, always use approved safety equipment, work in a
well-ventilated area and wear dusk mask that filters out microscopic particles.
WARNING:
Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the
State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE
miter saw until it has been assembled and installed according to
the "Assembly and Accuracy Adjustment" instructions. Read and follow all safety rules within
this Instructions Manual, failure to do may result in electric shock and/or serious personal injury.
The Safety Cover
1.
(SEE FIGURE 10)
The transparent safety
cover (1) automatically rotates to cover the
saw blade when the control handle (2) is
lifted. When the control handle is lowered,
the safety cover rotates back out of the way.
2. Do not disconnect or remove the safety cover.
Do not operate the miter saw if the safety
cover is damaged or missing.
3. If the transparent safety cover becomes so
dirty that the saw blade cannot be seen
clearly, disconnect the electrical power cord
from its electrical outlet and clean the safety
cover with a soft, damp, cloth. A mild
detergent may be used, but do not use
solvents which may damage the safety cover.
