STARTING AND STOPPING THE MITER SAW
The torque developed during braking may loosen the arbor screw. Check the arbor screw
periodically and tighten, if necessary.
LOCKING THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION
When the machine is not in use, the
switch should be locked in the “OFF”
position, using a padlock (B) Fig. 10
with a 3/16" diameter shackle to
prevent unauthorized use.
To start the miter saw, depress the switch trigger (A)
Fig. 9. To stop the miter saw, release the switch trigger.
This saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade
brake. As soon as the switch trigger (A) Fig. 9 is
released, the electric brake is activated and stops the
blade in seconds.
