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.

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