FEATURES

EXACTLINE™ LASER GUIDE

For more accurate cuts, an Exactline™ laser guide is included with your miter saw. When used properly, the laser guide makes accurate, precision cutting simple and easy.

POSITIVE STOPS ON MITER TABLE

Positive stops have been provided at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. The 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° positive stops have been provided on both the left and right side of the miter table.

BEVEL LOCK KNOB

The bevel lock knob securely locks your compound miter saw at desired bevel angles.

BEVEL STOP PIN

The bevel stop pin has three positions:

1.Override (pin pulled completely out)

2.The 0° - 45° position (middle position)

3.The 0° - 33.9° position for crown molding (pin pushed in)

SLIDING MITER FENCE

The sliding miter fence on your compound miter saw has been provided to hold your workpiece securely against when making all cuts; the left side is 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 deter- mined, tighten the fence screw to secure the sliding fence.

ELECTRIC BRAKE

An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop blade rotation after the switch is released.

REPEAT-A-CUT™

See Figure 5.

The Repeat-A-Cut™ feature on both the left and right side miter fences can be used when making repetitive cuts. Simply mark the fence with a pencil, make the desired number of cut(s), then wipe the mark off with a soft cloth.

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.
