The miter angle of a cut may
be adjusted 0 - 45° to the right or left. To do
so, loosen the miter lock knob (1) located at
the front of the table.
2. Move the handle to the right or left until the
desired miter angle of cut is indicated by the
miter scale (2) located on the base. Then, tighten
the handle to lock the miter Angle in place.
Unlocking Saw Cutting Arm
NOTE:
The unit is packaged with the saw arm
in the lock down position.
1. Press down on the control handle enough to
take spring tension off of the lock down pin (1).
2.
(See Figure 5)
While holding down the control
handle, pull out on the lock down pin to

90 degrees to rest in the unlocked
(shallow slot) position.
3. Slowly let the saw arm rise to the
upright position.
Locking Cutting Arm in the Down Position
1. Press downward on control handle and lower the saw arm.
2.
(See Figure 5)
With arm down, pull out and turn the lock pin (1) 90 degrees to the locked
(deep slot) position.
3. Release the pin allowing it to engage the saw arm.
CAUTION:
When carrying you miter saw or transporting it from one location to another, the saw
cutting arm should be locked in the down position and the saw should be carried by the handle.

simply squeeze the On/Off trigger switch (1).
2. To stop the tool, release pressure on the
On/Off trigger switch.
Laser Aided Sighting (Figure12)
1. To activate the laser-sighting guide, move the
rocker switch (1) to the on “I” position. The
laser will project a narrow beam of red light
in line with the saw blade.
2. Align the light beam with the marked cut line
on the work piece.
3. To turn off the laser cutting guide, move the
rocker switch to the off “O” position.
CAUTION: LASER RADIATION
- Do not stare
into the beam. Use of controls or adjustments
or performance of procedures other than
those specified in this instruction manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
1. Laser radiations on work table - Do not stare
into reflected light from work surface.
2. Avoid exposure - Laser light is emitted from
the housing front aperture. Do not stare into
the aperture.
3. Do not disassemble laser.
4. Operate laser only when cutting. Turn laser
off after use.
Making a Miter Cut
1.
(See Figure 13)
Raise the control handle (1)
up to allow positioning of the workpiece.
2. Loosen the miter locking knob (2), press down
on the miter thumb lever (3) and rotate the
cutting arm until the miter table pointer aligns
with the desired angle on the scale. Tighten the
miter locking knob.
3. Grasp the workpiece firmly with one hand and
secure it flat on the miter table with one edge
securely against the fence (5). Turn on the
laser-sighting guide. Adjust the workpiece to
align the cut-line with the Red laser beam
or saw blade. Use the material clamp
when possible.
CAUTION:
When cutting a large workpiece,
make sure its entire length is properly
supported. If necessary, use a roller stand
(not included) with a larger workpiece.
