Mounting the Saw

The Miter Saw must be mounted on a support before use. This may be a commercially available support or home made saw table. There are bolt holes provided in each of the four legs of the base. These should be firmly mounted using bolts (not included) to your saw stand or saw table (not included). This will help prevent tipping or movement of the saw, preventing injury. Also, the use of a saw table will make it easier to efficiently handle work materials and make more accurate cuts.

Operating Instructions

Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

WARNING To prevent serious injury

from accidental operation:

Unplug power cord from power source before making any adjustments to this tool.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1.Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent injury and distraction.

2.Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work

area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

3.Use a saw table, saw stand or other means to support the work piece. The Miter Saw must be mounted in such a way that the surface is level to the ground, and supports used must provide a surface on the same level as the saw table. If the work surface and any work materials supports are not level, and on the same level, unwanted bevel angles will appear in the cuts resulting in poor joinery.

4.Work pieces may be secured to the saw table using the Hold Down Clamp or other clamping devices (not included). Securing the work piece will provide safety by preventing kick back and by removing the need to hold work pieces near the blade by hand. Clamping the work piece will also improve cutting accuracy by preventing the work piece from moving during the cutting operation.

5.When using this saw, work pieces are often quite long. Allow room on both left and right of saw for extended work pieces.

General Operating Instructions

1.This saw is equipped with a laser guide. When the switch on the side of the laser battery housing is turned on, the beam shows the location of the cut. Do not move or bend the laser opening because the accuracy of the guide will be effected.

2.When the Handle is lowered, the Blade Guard raises automatically. When the Handle is raised the Blade Guard returns to its safety position. Keep hands clear of the Blade
