To avoid injury from accidental start- ing, remove plug from power source
outlet before making any adjustments.
1.Switch
2.Power Switch – The power switch used with the
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 12" blades with 1" 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 aux- iliary 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.
