Stabilizer

Your saw includes one base stabilizer. This must be installed before using your saw. Insert the stabilizer into the holes in the back of the unit, as shown in Figure 6. Move the stabilizer in or out until it contacts the work surface. Then tighten the screws in the base to fasten the stabilizer.

Bench Mounting

Holes are provided to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Figure 4. (Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use either hole, it is not necessary to use both.) Always mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7mm) or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.

NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting screws don’t protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.

CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the mounting surface.

Transporting the Saw

TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE SLIDING COMPOUND MITER SAW BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE IT OR MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS.

Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw from one place to another. The lock down pin is not to be used for any cutting operation, and is for carrying and storage only. When transporting the saw, always lock the head in the down position, miter the saw fully to the right (60° miter), lock the miter adjustment/lock handle, lock the rail lock knob with the head fully forward, slide the fences completely inward, and lock the bevel adjustment/lock handle with the saw at a 0° bevel. Always use the carrying hand holds in the base to transport the saw. Carry the saw as shown in Figure 1A.
