OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
BENCH MOUNTING YOUR SAW (Fig.10)
Before operating your
saw, it must be firmly
mounted to your
workbench or other
rigid frame. If you are
using the extension
wings, install them
before mounting the
saw to a workbench. See the Assembly section
of this manual.
If your saw is to be used in one location, per-
manently secure it to the work surface using
wood screws.
PORTABLE APPLICATIONS
Secure your saw to a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of ply-
wood. Make sure the plywood is large enough
to support all four mounting locations. Use
clamps to hold the plywood to sawhorses or a
portable workbench. The plywood mounted to
your saw can also help protect it from damage
when transporting it.
INSTALLING DUST BAG
Install your dust bag over the dust port by com-
pressing the two tabs on the spring clip and
sliding the bag over the rib on the port. Re-
lease the tabs after rotating the bag until the
zipper is facing down. Make sure the zipper is
closed before operating your saw.
HANDLE STOP LATCH (Fig. 11)
TO RAISE: The saw
should never be
locked in the down
position when operat-
ing.
1. Push down on the
saw handle.
2. Pull out the handle
stop latch (1).
3. Allow the saw to rise to the up position.
TO LOCK: When transporting or storing the
miter saw, the cutting head should always be
locked in the down position.
1. Push the saw handle down to the lowest
position.
2. Push in the handle stop latch (1) to lock the
cutting head in the down position.
BODY AND HAND POSITION
WARNING: Do not cut short workpieces.
you cannot properly hold a short workpiece
and have your hand a safe distance from the
blade. never cross your arms or place your
hands near the cutting area.
• Proper positioning of your body and hands
with the saw will make cutting easier and
safer. Keep your face and body to one side of
the blade, out of line with a possible debris
throwback.
• Don’t overreach; keep good footing and
balance. Place your hands at least 4" (10.2 cm)
from the blade. Hold the workpiece firmly
against the fence and keep hands in position
until the trigger has been released and the
blade has completely stopped.
• Before making a cut, make a “dry run” with
the power off to determine the path of the
blade.
WARNING: Do not cross your arms in front
of the blade while operating the saw. Make
sure both miter locks are tightened before you
operate the saw.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT (Fig.12)
Support long work-
pieces to prevent sag-
ging.
Use the extension
wings (1) to support
long workpieces.
