ELECTRIC BRAKE

An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop

blade rotation after the switch is released.

FENCE

The fence on your compound miter sew has been provided to hold your workpiece securely against when making all cuts.

SELF4tETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD

The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant, see-through plastic that provides protection from each side of the blade. It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw is lowered into the workpiece.

MOUNTING HOLES

See Figure 7.

Your compound miter sew should be permanently mounted to a firm supporting surface such as work- bench. Four 3/8 in. bolt holes have been provided in the sew base for this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 318 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the sew base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench.

Tighten all four bolts securely.

The hole pattern for an 18 in. x 24 in. workbench is shown in Figure 7. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating.

AWARNING: Always make sure your compound miter saw is securely mounted to a workbench or

an approved workstand. Failure to do so could result in an accident resulting in possible serious personal injury.
