OPERATION
WARNING!
Before operating the miter saw, make sure to equip yourself with a dust mask, ear protection,
and safety glasses for protection from possible injuries. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Do not wear gloves while operating the saw.
1. RAISE THE SAW ARM
Before operation, raise the saw arm from the lower position. See section titled, “Guard Operation” on page 11.
2. SET UP THE CUT ANGLE & DEPTH
The chop saw can be set up to create straight or angled cuts. To adjust the miter angle of the cut, refer to “Adjusting
the Miter Angle” on page 11. To adjust the cutting depth, refer to the section titled “Adjusting the Cutting Depth”.
3. SET UP WORKPIECE
Place work piece flat on the base with one edge securely against back fence. If work piece is especially long, be sure
to use a roller stand or other work support system to support work piece so it does not damage blade or saw. The
WEN
MSA658
Rolling Tool Stand can be a great addition to your shop if you do not have a support system already.
