OPERATION
7. PERFORM THE CUT
1. Plug in the miter saw. Turn on the LED switch (Fig. 17
- 1) to see where your cut will land on the material.
CAU-
TION
: DO NOT look into the LED light or point it at any
living thing.
2. Grip the operating handle firmly, press in the power
switch lock (Fig. 17 - 2) squeeze the power trigger (Fig.
17 - 3) to turn the saw ON.
3. Allow the blade to reach full speed. Make sure the work-
piece is held securely against the table and fence at all
times. If the material binds the blade, release the power
trigger.
• For non-sliding cuts:
Slowly lower the blade into and
through the workpiece.
• For sliding cuts:
Pull the saw arm all towards the front
of the machine. Slowly lower the blade into the work-
piece while steadily pushing it away from you until the
workpiece is cut (Fig. 18).
CAUTION:
Never slide the
saw arm towards yourself while cutting. Always push
away.
4. Release the power trigger and wait until the blade fully
stops before raising it from the workpiece.
5. Unplug the miter saw before leaving your work station.
Clean your work station and store tools out of reach of chil-
dren.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
To avoid accidents, turn OFF and unplug the tool from the electrical outlet before cleaning,
adjusting, or performing any maintenance work.
WARNING!
Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Servicing of the
tool must be performed by a qualified technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts.
Use of other parts may be hazardous or induce product failure.
NOTE:
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to ac-
celerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to
bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for extended work
on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to
clean the tool using compressed air after operation.
