ASSEMBLY
MITER LOCK HANDLE
See Figure 8.
To install the miter lock handle, place the threaded stud on
the end of the miter lock handle into the threaded hole in the
control arm under miter table. Turn clockwise to tighten.
DUST GUIDE
See Figure 9.
To install the dust guide, place the end over the exhaust port
in the upper blade guard. Turn the guide so that the open
end is facing down.
DUST BAG
See Figure 10.
A dust bag is provided for use on this miter saw. It fits over
the exhaust port on the upper blade guard. To install it,
remove dust guide from exhaust port. Then, squeeze the
two metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide it
on the exhaust port. Release the clips. The metal ring in
the bag should lock in between the grooves on the exhaust
port. To remove the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse
the above procedure.
WORK CLAMP
See Figure 11.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the fence or the saw table. It also prevents the
workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very
helpful when cutting compound miters.
Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the
workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead
of the work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making
the cut.
WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly may
interfere with the operation of the blade guard assembly.
Always make sure there is no interference with the blade
guard prior to beginning any cutting operation to reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
To install the work clamp:
n
Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the
saw table base.
n
Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it in or out
as needed.
WARNING:
When using any clamp with the stop block, install the
clamp on the same side as the stop block. This will elimi-
nate the possibility of trapping the workpiece, resulting in
the saw blade and workpiece kicking up. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal injury.
