Dust bag
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier.
To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
To attach the fastener, align the top end of the fastener
with the triangular mark on the dust bag.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty
the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or
the workpiece.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the saw, sup-
port the entire length of the material beyond the
support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on
the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support work-
piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

1. Support 2. Turn base
Vertical vise
WARNING:
Secure the workpiece firmly
against the turn base and guide fence with the
vise during all operations. Otherwise the material
may move during the cutting operation, cause dam-
age to the blade, and be thrown which may result in
loss of control and serious personal injury.
Install the vertical vise on either the left or right side of
the guide fence or the holder assembly (optional acces-
sory). Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence
or the holder assembly and tighten the lower screw to
secure the vise rod.
