OPERATION
WARNING!
Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instructions. Read
through and become familiarized with the following procedures of handling and adjusting your miter saw. Failure
to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
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 Cutting Angle” on page 12. To adjust the cutting depth, refer to the section titled “Adjusting the Cutting Depth”
on page 13.
3. SET UP WORKPIECE
Place the work piece flat on the base with one edge securely against the back fence. If the work piece is especially
long, be sure to use a roller stand or other work support system to support your work piece so it does not damage
the blade or the saw. The WEN
MSA658
Multi-Purpose Rolling Tool Stand can be a great addition to your shop if
you do not have a support system already.
