Page 14: Before Each Use
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). - Page 15 Do not use in the rain or in a damp location. Wait for the wheel to come to a complete stop before removing material. Only use a saw blade suitable for both your miter saw and your workpiece. The maximum permissible speed of your saw blade should be higher than the maximum rotational speed of the saw.

Pull on the release knob (FIGURE 2), raise the saw arm to its highest position, and slide it toward you. 2. Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the switch trigger.
