Familiarization
Your miter saw is fully assembled in the carton.
Open the box and lift the saw out by the
convenient carry ing handle, as shown in
Figure 1A. Place the saw on a smooth, flat
surface such as a workbench or a strong table.
Examine Figure 2 to become familiar with
the saw and its various parts. The section on
adjus tments will refer to these terms and you
must know what and where the parts are.
CAUTION: Pinch Hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, keep thumb underneath the handle
when pulling the handle down. The lower guard will move up as the handle is pulled down
which could cause pinching. The handle is placed close to the guard for special cuts.
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the lock down pin, as shown in Figure 2.
Gently release the downward pressure and hold the arm allowing it to rise to its full height. Use
the lock down pin when carrying the saw from one place to another. Always use the carrying
handle to transport the saw or the hand indentations shown in Figure 2 and 4.
Bench Mounting
Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Figure 2. (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 a stable surface to prevent
movement. To enhance the tool's portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7 mm)
