features and safety rules.

14 AMP MOTOR

The saw has a powerful 14 amp motor with sufficient power  
to  handle  tough  cutting  jobs.  It  is  made  with  all  ball  
bearings,  and  has  externally  accessible  brushes  for  ease 
of servicing.

10 in. BLADE

A 10 in. blade is included with the compound miter saw. It 
will cut materials up to  in. thick or 6 in. wide, depending 
upon the angle at which the cut is being made.

BEVEL LOCK KNOB

The  bevel  lock  knob  securely  locks  the  compound  miter  
saw  at  desired  bevel  angles.  Positive  stop  adjustment 
screws have been provided on each side of the saw arm. 
These adjustment screws are for making fine adjustments

°

.

BLADE WRENCH STORAGE

See Figure 1.

A  blade  wrench  is  packed  with  the  saw.  One  end  of  the  
wrench is a phillips screwdriver and the other end is a hex 
key. Use the hex key end when installing or removing blade 
and the phillips end when removing or loosening screws. 
A storage area for the blade wrench is located in the saw’s 
base.

CARRyING THE SAW

See Figure 2.

Located on each side of the base are two recessed areas 
for carrying the saw. From behind the saw with the saw in 
the locked down position, grasp the base in the recessed 
area to move the miter saw.

ELECTRIC BRAKE

An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop blade 
rotation after the switch is released.

LASER GUIDE

For more accurate cuts, a laser guide is included with your 
miter  saw.  When  used  properly,  the  laser  guide  makes  
accurate, precision cutting simple and easy.

MITER FENCE

The  miter  fence  on  the  compound  miter  saw  has  been  
provided  to  hold  the  workpiece  securely  against  when  
making  all  cuts.  The  left  side  is  also  larger  providing  ad-
