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.

OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
STARTING AND STOPPING MACHINE
To start the machine, depress switch trigger (A) Fig. 11. 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. 11 is released, the electric brake is activated and stops the blade.
A TURNING SAW BLADE CAN BE
DANGEROUS. AFTER COMPLETING
THE CUT, RELEASE THE SWITCH
TRIGGER (A) FIG. 11 TO ACTIVATE
BLADE BRAKE. KEEP
CUTTINGHEAD DOWN UNTIL THE
BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE
STOP.
THE TORQUE DEVELOPED DURING
BRAKING MAY LOOSEN THE ARBOR
SCREW. THE ARBOR SCREW
SHOULD BE CHECKED
PERIODICALLY AND TIGHTENED IF
NECESSARY.
LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION
WHEN THE MITER SAW IS NOT IN
USE, THE SWITCH SHOULD BE
LOCKED IN THE “OFF” POSITION
USING A PADLOCK (B) FIG. 12, WITH
A 3/16" DIAMETER SHACKLE TO
PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED USE OF
THE SAW.
IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE, ALWAYS LOCK SWITCH IN “OFF” POSITION UNTIL THE MAIN POWER IS RESTORED.
