Alternate Attachment

The smaller mounting holes at each corner can be used for nails or longer drywall screws.

The supporting surface where the saw is to be mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to ensure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping or walking is noted, se- cure the workbench or stand before operating the miter saw.

Be careful not to over-drive nail ! CAUTION or over-torque the bolt. This

could crack foot or damage base.

Temporary Mounting Using Clamps

•If necessary, clamp the miter saw to a workbench or table top.

•Place two or more “C” clamps on the clamping areas and secure (see Figure 21). There are clamping areas at all four corners of the saw.

•Be careful not to place clamps over the base ex- tension clamping levers (see Figure 21).

•Mounting with clamps may prevent access to some wide miter angles.

Basic Saw Operations

Switch Activation

For safety, the switch lever is designed to prevent accidental starts. To operate safety switch, slide the switch “Lock-OFF” toggle with either thumb to dis- engage the lock, then pull the power switch lever and release the switch “Lock-OFF” toggle (Figure 22). When the power switch lever is released, the switch “Lock-OFF” toggle will engage the power switch lever automatically, and the lever will no longer operate until either “Lock-Off” toggle is en- gaged again(see Figure 22)

NOTE: Switch lever can accommodate a padlock with a long shackle of up to 1/4" in diameter (not provided with miter saw) to prevent unauthorized use.
