Spindle Lock Button - Wen 70712 Instruction Manual

BEVEL LOCK
The bevel lock is used to set the blade at the desired bevel angle
(FIGURE 5). The miter saw bevels from 0° to 45° left only.
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the bevel lock before making a cut. Failure
to do so could result in the saw arm moving during the cut and cause serious
personal injury.
HOLD DOWN CLAMP ASSEMBLY
The hold down clamp assembly can be mounted to the fence on either side of the
saw blade depending on what suits the task at hand. Use the clamp assembly lock
at the back of the fence to secure teh clamp assembly in position (FIGURE 6).
Note: use only one clamp at a time.

SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON

The spindle lock button prevents the blade in the saw from rotating (FIGURE 7).
Depress and hold the spindle lock button while installing, changing or removing
the blade.
ROTATING LOWER BLADE GUARD
The rotating lower blade guard provides protection from both sides of the blade
(FIGURE 8). It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw is lowered onto the
workpiece.
DUST COLLECTION BAG
The dust collection bag fits over the dust extraction port. For more efficient
operation, empty the dust bag when it is half full. This allows better air flow
through the bag.
ATTACHING THE MATERIAL SUPPORT ARMS
The material support arms help to support the material when working with long
workpieces. There are two location holes for support bars on either side of the
table. Loosen the lock screws with the hex key. Ensure the side bars are fully
inserted before using them to support the workpiece (FIGURE 9).
The side support bar locking knob must be tightened to secure the support bars
in position (FIGURE 9).
