Assembly And Adjustments; Bench Mounting; Miter Table Lock - Wen 70712 Instruction Manual

TRANSPORTATION
Only lift the miter saw after switching off the saw, locking down the saw arm, and unplugging the machine from its
power source. Only lift the saw by the carrying handle located on top of the motor or by the outer castings. Do not
lift the saw using the guard or the operating handle.

BENCH MOUNTING

The saw base has holes in each corner to facilitate bench mounting (FIGURE 1).
1. Mount and fix the saw to a level, horizontal bench or worktable using four
bolts (not included).
2. If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 1/2˝ or thicker plywood
which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
and reclamped.
CAUTION: Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped. Uneven
surfaces can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.
RELEASE KNOB
The release knob is provided for holding the cutting head during transporta-
tion or storage. The saw must never be used while the release knob is locking
the head down.
SLIDE LOCK KNOB
When tightened, the slide lock knob (FIGURE 3) prevents the saw head from
sliding. Tighten the slide lock knob during transportation.

MITER TABLE LOCK

The miter table lock is used to lock the table at the desired miter angle (FIG-
URE 4).
The miter saw cuts from 0° to 45° both left and right. To adjust the angle,
loosen the miter table lock,hold the miter release handle and rotate to the de-
sired miter angle. Relock the table in place. The miter table features positive
click stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° in both directions for quick setting
of common miter angles.
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter table lock before making
a cut. Failure to do so can cause the table to move during the cut,
resulting in serious personal injury.
