KNOW YOUR COMPOUND MITER SAW

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself 
with all operating features and safety rules.

15 AMP MOTOR

The saw has a powerful 15 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 2 in. thick or 6 in. wide, depending 
upon the angle at which the cut is being made.

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 HANDLE

See Figure 2.

For  convenience  when  carrying  or  transporting  the  miter 
saw from one place to another, a carrying handle has been 
provided on top of the saw arm. To transport, turn off and 
unplug the saw, then lower the saw arm and lock it in the 
down position. Lock saw arm by depressing the lock pin.

MITER LOCK HANDLE

See Figure 2.

The  miter  lock  handle  securely  locks  the  saw  at  desired 
miter angles.

SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON

See Figure 3.

The  spindle  lock  button  locks  the  spindle  stopping  the 
blade  from rotating. Depress and hold the lock button while 
installing, changing, or removing blade.

SWITCH TRIGGER

See Figure 4.

To prevent unauthorized use of the compound miter saw, 
disconnect it from the power supply and lock the switch in 
the off position. To lock the switch, install a padlock (not 
included) through the hole in the switch trigger. A lock with 
a long shackle up to 9/32 in. diameter may be used. When 
the lock is installed and locked, the switch is inoperable. 
Store the padlock key in another location.
