1.Switch Lock-Off Release Button – One of these two buttons must be pressed before the power switch can be pressed.

2.Power Switch – The power switch used with the “Lock-OFF” button energizes the unit.

3.Main Handle – This handle contains the power switch. Pulling this handle down lowers the blade into the workpiece.

4.Brush Caps – These caps keep the motor brush- es in position and provide easy access for inspect- ing and replacing brushes.

5.Lower Blade Guard/Lower Guard Lip – The lower blade guard helps protect your hands from the spinning blade. It retracts as the blade is low- ered. Lip can be used to raise the lower guard when guard becomes jammed on a workpiece.

6.Blade – Use only 10" blades with 5/8" arbor hole.

7.Sliding Fence – Supports the workpiece. The fence has a cast in scale to make repetitive cuts easy. The fence also has holes to secure an auxil- iary fence if desired.

8.Kerf Inserts – Kerf inserts can be adjusted to dif- ferent blade widths to minimize workpiece tear-out.

9.Miter Detent Override – Allows detent action to be locked out allowing for micro adjustments to any miter angle.

10.Miter Scale/Miter Angle Indicator – This scale is cast in on the base of the saw. Indicator is fas- tened to the table.

11.Miter Detents – There are ten (10) miter detent slots for fast and accurate miter cuts of common miter angles.

12.Miter Detent Lever – The lever releases the table from the detent.

13.Miter Lock Knob – The miter lock knob locks the miter saw table at any desired miter angle.

14.Table – Sits in base, provides workpiece support, rotates for desired miter cuts and rotates the head assembly. The front extended part of the table is called the miter arm.

15.Base – Provides working surface to support workpiece.

16.Tool Mounting Pads – The four corners of the saw provide areas to clamp, bolt or nail the saw to a flat work surface.

17.Sliding Base Extensions – These extensions provide extra workpiece support and are espe- cially useful when cutting long workpieces.

18.Base Extension Clamping Levers – Locks the base extensions at desired positions.

19.Length Stop – For repetitive cuts of the same length. Can be moved to left side, if desired.

20.Dust Port – The dust port can accommodate the dust chute and dust bag or optional VAC004 Vacuum Hose Adapter, which accepts Bosch 35mm hoses.

21.Bevel Lock Lever – The front-positioned bevel lock lever locks the head assembly at the desired bevel angle.

22.Bevel Range Selector Knob – Allows selection of the bevel range, 0° to 45° left, 0° to 45° right, and complete range of 47° left to 46° right.

23.Microfine Miter Adjustment System – Allows for fine adjustment (up to 2 degrees to the left or right) of the detent angles.

24.Slide Rail Lock Knob – Locks the slide rails when not making slide cuts or when transporting the saw.

25.Slide Rails – Guide the head assembly when making slide cuts.

26.Quick-Action Clamp Position Holes – There are two (2) holes (not shown) behind the fence for placing the quick action clamp.

27.Lower Guard Actuation Link – Allows for smooth movement of the lower guard.

28.Upper Blade Guard – Covers upper portion of the blade.

29.Cord Wrap – Allows you to easily wrap up the cord so it’s out of the way when transporting or storing.

30.Power Cord – Supplies power to motor.

31.Rear Cover Tool Storage – Storage for 10mm/17mm Combination Open End Wrench and 1.5mm & 3mm Hex “L” Wrenches.

32.Bevel Detent Pin (Crown Molding Setting) – Allows you to easily lock the head assembly to the bevel angle of 33.9° to the left or right.

33.Bevel Scale – This scale is large and angled to allow you to easily read bevel angles.

34.Head Assembly Lock Pin – Used to lock the head assembly in the lower position for transport- ing.

35.Quick Release Depth Stop Button – Allows you to quickly release the depth stop.

36.Depth Stop Fine Adjustment Knob–Allows you to adjust the depth of the blade for cutting grooves in the workpiece.

37.Handle Rotation Release Lever – Pulling this lever allows the handle to be rotated. Release the lever into one of four operating positions.

38.Rear Carrying Handle – Used for lifting of the tool.

39.Handle Clamp – Locks handle in the selected position.

40.Arbor Lock—Keeps the blade from rotating while tightening or loosening arbor screw during blade replacement or removal.

41.Front Carrying Handle – Used for lifting the tool.

42.Dust Bag and Dust Elbow – Used to collect saw dust.

43.Sliding Fence Lock Knob – Used to hold fence position after slide adjustment.
