ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of your compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions. Never operate your saw without all guards securely
in place and in good operating condition.
MITER LOCK HANDLE
See Figure 7.
To install the miter lock handle, place the threaded stud on
the end of the miter lock handle into the threaded hole in the
control arm under miter table. Turn clockwise to tighten.
DUST GUIDE
See Figure 8.
Insert the dust guide inside the exhaust port in the upper
blade guard. Turn the guide so that the open end is facing
down.

DUST BAG

See Figure 9.
A dust bag is provided for use on your miter saw. It fits
over the exhaust port on the upper blade guard. To install
it, remove dust guide from exhaust port. Then, squeeze
the two metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide
it on the exhaust port. Release the clips. The metal ring in
the bag should lock in between the grooves on the exhaust
port. To remove the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse
the above procedure.

WORK CLAMP

See Figure 10.
WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly
may interfere with the operation of the blade guard
assembly. Always make sure there is no interfer-
ence with the blade guard prior to beginning any
cutting operation to reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the fence or the saw table. It also prevents the
workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very
helpful when cutting compound miters.
Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the
workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead
of the work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making
the cut.
To install the work clamp:
 Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the
saw table base.
 Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it in or out
as needed.
NOTE: The work clamp has a quick release lever that makes
positioning of the work clamp effortless.
