UNPACKING
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your King Canada
Power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not
operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been
rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
1. Remove all loose parts from the carton.
2. Remove the packing materials from around the saw.
3. Carefully lift the saw from the carton and place it on a level work surface.
4. The saw has been shipped with the saw arm locked in the down position. To
release the saw arm, push down on the top of the saw arm, pull then turn the
saw head release knob (A) Fig.17.
WARNING: Do not lift the saw while holding on to the guards. Use the top
mounted carrying handle.
MITER TABLE POSITIVE STOPS
There are positive stops at 0
the miter detent lever (A) Fig.5 is pressed and released between positive stops,
the table will stop at the next positive stop. If the miter detent lever (A) Fig.5 is
pressed and held in place, the table will continue to rotate and will bypass the
positive stops. Once the desired angle is obtained, use the miter lock handle to
lock the table.
WARNING! Before making any cut, make sure the miter lock handle is fully
tightened.
RETRACTABLE EXTENSION WINGS
Before using this miter saw, it is recommended to use the extension wings to
support your workpiece. Simply loosen extension wing lock knob (A) Fig.3, pull
out the extension wing (B) and secure it in place by tightening the extension
wing lock knob (A). Repeat for the other extension wing.
TABLE SUPPORT EXTENSIONS
Install table support extensions (C) Fig.3 on both sides of the table using two
pan head screws (D).
REAR SUPPORT WING
Before using this miter saw, it is also recommended to install the rear support
wing (A) Fig.4 to support the rear of the saw. Slide the rear support wing into
the two mounting holes and secure it with the pan head screw (B).
INSTALLATION OF THE WORK CLAMP (VISE)
The work clamp or vise (B) Fig.5 has specific groove heights on the mounting
stem (C) for use with material thicknesses within the capacity of this miter saw.
Use the maximum-height groove when needing to clear the highest portion of
the adjustable fence. The maximum-height groove supports clamping of
workpieces between 2-1/2" and 3-1/2" thick. The minimum-height groove
supports clamping of workpieces up to 2" thick. The miter saw has two mounting
holes behind the fences for use when mounting the workpiece clamp.
1. Insert the work clamp into the desired mounting hole behind the fence.
2. Adjust the height of the clamp until the threaded stud of the work-clamp knob engages in the selected groove. Do not lock.
3. Position the clamp to maximize clearance from the head assembly and then tighten the work-clamp knob.
4. Lift the grip lever to loosen the grip on the work clamp. Then lift or lower the thumb lever to raise or lower the work clamp. Lower the grip lever
to lock the vertical position of the work clamp.
5. Move the head assembly up and down and forward and back (See the detail instructions in the "ADJUSTMENTS") to be sure that it clears the
clamp.
WARNING!
In some operations, the work clamp assembly may interfere with the operation of the blade-guard assembly. Always make sure
that there is no interference with the blade guard prior to beginning any cutting operation to reduce the risk of serious personal injury. The work
clamp provides greater control by clamping the workpiece to the saw table. It also prevents the workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade.
This is very helpful when cutting compound miters. Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the workpiece, it may be necessary to
use a C-clamp instead of the work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making the cut. The work clamp can be installed and used on either
side of the blade.
