OPERATION

                                 

To reduce the risk of 

injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with 
side shields.

                                 before each use, verify 
that the blade is free of cracks, loose 
teeth, missing teeth, or any other damage. 
Do not use if damage is observed or 
suspected.

                                Always wait for the 
blade to stop completely, and unplug the 
tool before changing accessories or mak-
ing adjustments.

                                 ALWAyS make sure 
the arbor lock button is released so the 
blade can rotate freely. MAkE SURE the 
locking pin is loose and that the saw head 
moves freely up and down. ENSURE that 
all clamps and locks are tightly in place, 
and that there is no excessive play in any 
parts. 

MOUNTING THE MITER SAW TO 

A WORk SURfACE (fIG. 17)

To prevent your miter saw from sliding, 
falling or tipping during operation, the saw 
must be permanently mounted to a firm, 
stable supporting surface, such as a 
workbench or piece of plywood.
Four bolt holes have been provided in 
the saw base (one in each corner) for 
mounting purposes. 

    WARNING:

    WARNING:                     

FIG. 17

Use machine bolts, lock washers and hex 
nuts (not included) in to securely fasten the 
saw to the supporting surface. 
Bolts should be long enough to fit through 
the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts and 
the thickness of the workbench or plywood.  
Tighten all four bolts securely. Position 
the saw and workbench to allow adequate 
room for crosscutting long workpieces. 
Carefully check the workbench after 

 

mounting the saw to make sure that no 
movement can occur during use. If any 
tipping, sliding or walking is noted, secure 
the workbench to the floor before operating. 
If mounting the miter saw to plywood, be 
sure to clamp the plywood to a worktable or 
bench, or place the plywood on a flat stable 
surface before operating the saw.

SWITCH ON AND Off (fIG.18)

For safety, the ON/OFF switch is designed 
to prevent accidental starts. To operate the 
safety switch: pull the Lock-OFF button to 
disengage the lock, depress the ON/OFF 
switch trigger and then releas e the Lock-OFF 
button.
When the ON/OFF switch trigger is released, 
the Lock-OFF button will automatically 
engage the safety switch.

    WARNING:
