Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. The
proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may
not be obvious and you may be seriously injured. Saw
head may slide/move, putting your safety at risk. Al-
ways wait for the blade to stop completely before rais-
ing the head, moving workpiece or changing settings.
Select the Workpiece Carefully
Be cautious of pitchy, knotty, wet or warped work-
pieces. These materials are likely to create pinching
conditions. Workpieces that bow and pinch may
result in kick back. Inspect for and remove nails
before cutting. Always keep blades clean and sharp;
otherwise the blade produces a narrow kerf and is
likely to be pinched by the workpiece. This tool is not
recommended for cutting ferrous metals such as iron
and steel. See Applications for a more complete list
of materials that can be cut.
Support the Workpiece Properly
Always support the workpiece during operation.
Otherwise, the workpiece may pull up and into the
saw. WARNING! Use clamps to support the work-
piece whenever possible to keep hands far from
the blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are
held by hand or too small to be securely clamped.
1. Use the Fence: Hold the workpiece flush against
the fence to provide a straight path for the saw
blade. This will help eliminate the tendency for
the blade teeth to bind. The fence can be used
as a support for miter, bevel and compound cuts.
WARNING! Keep hands out of the No Hands Zone
at all times during use. Use the fence hand holds to
ensure your hands do not enter the No Hands Zone.
2. Use the workpiece clamp: Clamp the workpiece
to the table with the included clamp. The clamp
can be moved to either side of the table.
a. Insert the clamp bar into either clamp socket
behind the fences.
b. Turn the clamp bar until it seats fully into the
socket.
c. Rotate the clamp around so the screw is above
the table.
d. Tighten the clamp screw to secure the work-
piece to the table.
3. Use a C-clamp: Clamp the workpiece to the fence
with a C-clamp.
Support of Longer Workpieces
Longer workpieces need support along their full length.
If you are using the saw on a level work bench, prop up
the workpiece to a height of 3" ((2) 2"x4" stacked flat)
from the bottom of the saw feet. There are also many
aftermarket work tables specifically designed for miter
saws that provide supports for all types of workpieces.
Adjusting the Miter Angle
The miter angle can be set using detents for com-
monly cut angles (0°, 15°, 22.5° 31.6°, and 45°), as
well as finely adjusted to any angle to compensate
for a custom situation.

1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. Lift up the miter lock lever to release the turntable.
3. Lift the detent lever and rotate the turntable to the
detent angle closest to the desired angle.
4. To make a fine adjustment to the miter angle:
a. Lift the detent lever.
b. Rotate the detent override knob forward.
c. Rotate the turntable to the exact angle.
5. Press down the miter lock lever to lock the adjust-
ment in place and avoid shifting during use.
Adjusting the Bevel Angle
The bevel can be adjusted to any angle from 0° to 48°,
left or right.
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. Loosen the bevel knob.
3. Tilt the saw head to the desired angle.
NOTE: To overcome the 0° stop, hold the saw
head left of 0°, then pull out the 0° stop pin and
tilt the saw head to the desired angle.
4. Tighten the bevel knob securely to lock the bevel
adjustment in place.
5. For precise angles
(22.5°, 33.9°, or
30.0°), position the
desired engraved
bevel stop accord-
ingly. The upper
bevel stop allows
for 22.5°. The low-
er bevel stop al-
lows for 33.9° and
30.0° on reverse
sides. To access the 30.0° bevel stop, using the long
end of the on-board allen tool, remove the 22.5°
bevel stop, then remove the lower bevel stop and
flip until the 30.0° engraving is facing up. Secure the
lower bevel stop before proceeding. Remember to
reinstall the 22.5° bevel stop when finished.
Adjusting the Fences
Every time the bevel or mitre angle settings are changed,
make sure the fences are set correctly.
Fences MUST:
• Support the workpiece
• Not interfere with the blade or lower guard
• Be adjusted to keep hands out of the No Hand Zone
To adjust the Fences
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. Loosen the fence lock thumb screw.
3. Slide the fences side-to-side to the desired posi-
tion to allow for a bevel or compound miter cut.
Position the fences properly for maximum work
support while maintaining hand safety. WARNING!
Ensure fence hand holds are positioned to keep
hands out of the No Hand Zone.
4. Tighten the fence lock thumb screws securely
before making a cut.
NOTE: If either fence has any movement forward
to backward, tighten the fence lock thumb screw,
located on the back of each fence slot.
5. With the saw OFF and the workpiece removed
from the table, slowly lower the saw head com-
pletely to ensure the guard and blade do not con-
tact the fences when making miter and bevel cuts.
