Moving the Miter Saw
1. Lift the Miter Saw only when the saw is OFF, the plug is removed from the
power-supply outlet, and the saw head is locked in the DOWN position.
2. To avoid damage, never carry the Miter Saw by the cutting handle.
3. Always carry the saw by the base or the Carry Handle.
Mounting the Miter Saw
To prevent the tool from sliding, falling, or tipping during operation, the Miter Saw can
be mounted to a supporting surface, such as a level, sturdy worktable or bench.
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Position the Miter Saw on a table or workbench to allow adequate room for
crosscutting long workpieces.
3. To mount the Miter Saw, insert fasteners through the four holes in the base of
the Miter Saw and use the fasteners to secure the saw to the table or bench.
Selection of Desired Angle
Follow the steps in "MITER ADJUSTMENT" and "BEVEL ADJUSTMENT."
A[_ WARNING: The throat plate (see Fig. 1, item 12) is factory-cut only for a 0°
bevel cut; the first cut made with the tool in the 46 ° bevel position will create a
wider slot on throat plate.
