FASTENING MACHINE TO
SUPPORTING SURFACE
Before operating your compound miter saw, firmly mount it to a workbench or other supporting surface. Four holes, (A) Fig. 9, are provided for fastening the saw to a supporting surface.
When frequently moving the saw from place to place, mount the saw to a 3/4” piece of plywood. The saw can then be easily moved from place to place and the plywood can be clamped to the supporting surface using “C” clamps.

OPERATION
OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
STARTING AND STOPPING MACHINE
To start the machine, depress switch trigger (A) Fig. 10. To stop the machine, release the switch trigger.
This saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake. As soon as the switch trigger (A) Fig. 10, is released, the electric brake is activated and stops the blade in seconds.
A TURNING SAW BLADE CAN BE DANGEROUS. AFTER COMPLETING CUT, RELEASE SWITCH TRIGGER (A) FIG. 10, TO ACTIVATE BLADE BRAKE. KEEP CUTTINGHEAD DOWN UNTIL BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
THE TORQUE DEVELOPED DURING BRAKING MAY LOOSEN THE ARBOR SCREW (E) FIG. 42. THE ARBOR SCREW SHOULD BE CHECKED PERIODICALLY AND TIGHTENED IF NECESSARY.
LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the miter saw is not in use, the switch should be locked in the OFF position using a padlock (B) Fig. 11, with a 3/16" diameter shackle to prevent unauthorized use of the saw.
