This miter saw is a professional power tool. DO nOT let children come into contact with the tool.
Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Familiarization (Fig. A, B)
Your miter saw is fully assembled in the carton.Open the box and lift the saw out by the
convenient carrying handle
13
, as shown in Figure B.
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a workbench or strong table.
Examine Figure A to become familiar with the saw and its various parts. The section on
adjustments will refer to these terms and you must know what and where the parts are.
CAUTION: Pinch Hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, keep thumb underneath the handle
when pulling the handle down. The lower guard will move up as the handle is pulled down
which could cause pinching.The handle is placed close to the guard for special cuts.
Press down lightly on the operating handle
downward pressure and hold the arm allowing it to rise to its full height. Use the lock down
pin when carrying the saw from one place to another. To lock the arm, rotate head lock knob
a quarter turn and press down on the arm until the arm locks in place. Always use the carrying
handle

Bench Mounting (Fig. A)
Mounting holes

are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Figure A.
There are round countersunk holes for use with screws and square holes for use with the miter
saw stand "carraige bolt" or M8 (5/16") or smaller bolts. Use either hole, it is not necessary to use
both.) Always mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the tool's portability, it
can be mounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7 mm) or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to
your work support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
nOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting
screws don't protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work
support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where
the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will surely interfere with the
proper operation of the saw.
CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped
or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface place a thin piece of material under one
saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the mounting surface.
