FEATURES
MITER LOCK LEVER
See Figure 4.
The miter lock lever securely locks the saw at the desired
miter angle. Push the lever down to lock the saw in place.
To release the saw, lift the miter lock lever and depress the
detent release button.
POSITIVE STOPS ON MITER TABLE
Positive stops have been provided at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°,
and 45° on both the left and right side of the miter table.
SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD
The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant, see-
through plastic that provides protection from each side of
the blade. It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw
is lowered into the workpiece.
SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
See Figure 5.
A spindle lock button has been provided for locking the
spindle which keeps the blade from rotating. Unplug the saw.
Depress and hold the lock button while installing, changing,
or removing blade only.
SLIDING MITER FENCES
The sliding miter fences on your compound miter saw have
been provided to help secure the workpiece when making
cuts; the portion of the miter fence located farthest from the
blade is larger to provide additional vertical support.
The sliding feature makes it easy to remove or adjust the
position of the fences and allow for clearance of the saw arm
when making bevel or compound cuts. Loosen the fence
screw before attempting to slide the miter fence. Once the
desired position of the miter fence is determined, tighten the
fence screw to secure the sliding fence.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 5.
The saw will not start until you depress the trigger lockout
lever and squeeze the switch trigger. To prevent unauthor-
ized use of the compound miter saw, disconnect it from
the power supply and lock the switch in the OFF position.
To lock the switch, install a padlock (not included) through
the hole in the switch trigger and make certain the switch
is inoperable. If the switch is still operable with the padlock
installed, a padlock with a larger shackle diameter must be
used. Store the padlock key in another location.
