To start the miter saw, ﬁrm grasp the saw's top handle, use your thumb to press the Lock-Off switch (2 or 3),

and then depress the switch trigger (1).

To stop the miter saw, completely release the switch trigger.

WARNING: After completing a cut, release the switch trigger to activate the

electric blade brake. Keep the cutting head down until the blade comes to a complete

stop before raising the cutting head to the upward or starting position. A rotating saw

blade can be dangerous.

WARNING: The torque resulting from electric blade brake activation may loosen

the arbor bolt. Occasionally check the arbor bolt and tighten if necessary.

TABLE HAZARD AREA (FIG 20)

On the stationary table, on each side of the rotating miter table,

is a “hands” warning symbol that is cast into the table. The area

between the two “hand” symbols is designated as a “Hazard

Zone” and the miter saw operator should never place their hands

inside this area while the miter saw is running.

WARNING: Keep your hands outside the

“Hazard Zone” and out of the path of the saw blade.

Use the supplied work clamp or other clamping

means to secure the work piece in place before

making a cut with the miter saw.

ROTATING THE MITER TABLE (FIG 21)

This miter saw will accurately cut any angle from the straight 90°

cut to 50° left and 50° right. To Rotate the Miter Table, loosen

the Miter Lock Handle (1) one or two turns counterclockwise, Use

your thumb to press down the detente lever (2) to release, and

then rotate the miter table to the desired angle using the Miter

Lock Handle (1). When the desired angle is reached, turn the Miter

Lock Handle (1) clockwise to lock the miter table in place.

NOTE: This miter saw comes with 9 positive click stops, 0° for

90° cutting, left-15°, 22.5° , 30°, 45°, right-15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°

for quick setting of common miter cutting angles

CAUTION: Always tighten the miter lock knob to

secure the miter table in position before cutting

with the miter saw.

POINTER AND SCALE (FIG 21)

An arrow shaped pointer (3) is located at the forward end of the

miter saw insert plate. Each line on the miter scale (4) represents

1°. When the miter table is rotated the pointer is moved from one

line to the next along the miter scale, changing the angle of cut

by one degree.

SLIDING MITER FENCE (FIG 22)

The saw is equipped with left and right miter fences. Each miter

fence consists a ﬁxed fence (1) on the bottom and a sliding fence

(2) on the top. The sliding feature allows both fences (left and

right) to be moved when making bevel or compound cuts.

To slide the sliding miter fence, loosen the fence screw (3), slide

the fence to desired position, retighten the fence screw to secure

the sliding fence. Pre-marked 0°, 30° and 45° on the sliding fence

indicate the safe fence position for bevel cuts at that angle.
