MITER FENCE

The miter fence on your compound miter saw has been provided to hold your workpiece securely against when making all cuts; the left side is also larger providing additional support. It has a sliding feature for clearance of the saw arm when making bevel or compound cuts.

Loosen the fence screw before attempting to slide the miter fence. Once the desired position of the miter fence is determined, tighten the fence screw to secure the sliding fence.

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

_, WARNING: 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.
