SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD

SPINDLE
LOCK BUTTON
The spindle lock button locks the spindle stopping the blade
from rotating. Depress and hold the lock button while install-
ing, changing, or removing blade.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 5.
The saw will not start until you depress the trigger lockout
lever and squeeze the switch trigger. To prevent unauthor-
ized use of the compound miter saw, disconnect it from
the power supply and lock the switch in the OFF position.
To lock the switch, install a padlock (not included) through
the hole in the switch trigger and make certain the switch
is inoperable. If the switch is still operable with the padlock
installed, a padlock with a larger shackle diameter must be
used. Store the padlock key in another location.
