▼ ATTACHING THE BEVEL LOCK LEVER
This miter saw is packaged with the saw head
locked at 0° bevel angle. The bevel lock lever
must be attached before operating the tool.
1.
Slide the 10 mm flat washer over the shaft
(area with flats).
2.
Slide the bevel lock lever over the shaft,
aligning the flats on the shaft to the flats on
the lever’s mounting hole. The lever should
be horizontal with the handle to the front
(see Figure 1).
3.
Slide the 6 mm flat washer over the shaft
(area with screw threads) and against the
recessed wall of the lever.
4.
Finger-tighten the 10mm lock nut on the
shaft. Use the 10mm socket tool to tighten
the lock nut.
NOTE: The 6/4mm hex key is placed through
the holes in the socket tool to assist in
tightening.
5.
Lift the bevel lock lever and push back down
to check that the lever is securely in place.
▼ ATTACHING THE MITER LOCK KNOB
Locate the miter lock knob from among the
loose parts.
1.
Look under the turntable’s front arm above
the lock lever and locate the 10mm hole
(see Figure 1).
2.
Insert the long shaft of the miter lock knob
through this hole until it stops.
3.
Turn the knob clockwise (about 10 full
revolutions) until it is tight or “locked.”
4.
Loosen the knob 1/2 turn to unlock it. The
table is now free to be moved on the base.
▼ USING THE MITER LOCK KNOB
1.
Loosen the miter lock knob.
2.
While holding the knob in your palm, reach
down with your index or middle finger and
pull up the detent lever. While gripping
knob, rotate table left or right to needed
miter angle and release the lever.
3.
Tighten the knob once you are at the correct
angle.
NOTE: It is recommended to tighten the miter
lock knob before all cuts. It is required to
tighten the knob before cutting at any angle
between detent engagements or when the
miter detent override system is in use.
▼ STORING THE 6/4MM HEx KEY
There is a storage location on the saw to store
the 6/4mm hex key. Insert the short leg of the
hex key through the rubber grommet as
shown. Place the long leg into the tool rest
and press down into the retainer clip (see
Figure 2).
NOTE: The 6/4mm hex key is needed to
change
the
blade
and
to
make
tool
adjustments. If lost, two separate hex keys
may be substituted: a 4mm hex key and a
6mm hex key.
