mounting the Saw
The Miter Saw must be mounted on
a support before use. This may be
a commercially available support or
home made saw table. There are
bolt holes provided in each of the
four legs of the base. These should
be firmly mounted using bolts (not
included) to your saw stand or saw
table (not included). This will help
prevent tipping or movement of the
saw, preventing injury. Also, the use
of a saw table will make it easier to
efficiently handle work materials and
make more accurate cuts.

work piece and work area Set up
Designate a work area that is clean 1.
and well-lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to
prevent injury and distraction.
Route the power cord along a safe
2.
route to reach the work area without
creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the power cord to possible damage.
The power cord must reach the work
area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
Use a saw table, saw stand or other
3.
means to support the work piece.
The Miter Saw must be mounted in
such a way that the surface is level to
the ground, and supports used must
provide a surface on the same level
as the saw table. If the work surface
and any work materials supports
are not level, and on the same level,
unwanted bevel angles will appear in
the cuts resulting in poor joinery.
Work pieces may be secured to
4.
the saw table using the Hold Down
Clamp or other clamping devices (not
included). Securing the work piece
will provide safety by preventing
kick back and by removing the need
to hold work pieces near the blade
by hand. Clamping the work piece
will also improve cutting accuracy
by preventing the work piece from
moving during the cutting operation.
When using this saw, work pieces
5.
are often quite long. Allow room on
both left and right of saw for extended
work pieces.
general operating instructions
This saw is equipped with a laser 1.
guide. When the switch on the side
of the laser battery housing is turned
on, the beam shows the location of
the cut. Do not move or bend the
laser opening because the accuracy
of the guide will be effected.
When the Handle is lowered, the
2.
Blade Guard raises automatically.
When the Handle is raised the Blade
Guard returns to its safety position.
Keep hands clear of the Blade
