CARRYING HANDLE

See Figure 3.
For convenience when carrying or transportating your miter
saw from one place to another, a carrying handle has been
provided on top of the saw arm as shown in figure 3. To
transport, turn off and unplug your saw, then lower the saw
arm and lock it in the down position. Lock saw arm by
depressing the lock pin.

MITER LOCK HANDLE

See Figure 3.
The miter lock handle securely locks your saw at desired
miter angles.

LOCK-OFF LEVER

The switch trigger is equipped with a lock-off lever to re-
duce the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off lever
must be slid back away from the switch trigger in order to
turn saw on. Once the saw is on, the lock-off lever can be
released. The spring loaded lever will spring back into the
lock-off position when the switch trigger is released.

A spindle lock button has been provided for locking the
spindle of your saw in a stationary position. Depress and
hold the lock button while installing, changing, or removing
blade.

TRIGGER LOCK

See Figure 5.
To prevent unauthorized use of your compound miter saw,
we suggest that you disconnect it from the power supply
and lock the switch in the off position. To lock the switch,
install a padlock through the hole in the switch trigger. A
lock with a shackle up to 13/64 in. (5 mm) diameter may be
used. When the lock is installed and locked, the switch is
inoperable. Store the padlock key in another location.

Positive stops have been provided at 0 , 22-1/2 and
45 . The 22-1/2 and 45 positive stops have been pro-
vided on both the left and right side of the miter table.

BEVEL LOCK KNOB

The bevel lock knob securely locks your compound miter
saw at desired bevel angles. Positive stop adjustment
screws have been provided on each side of the saw arm.

rotation after the switch is released.
