Assembly & Adjustments - Wen MM1011T Instruction Manual

WARNING! Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instructions. Read
through and become familiarized with the following procedures of handling and adjusting your tool. Failure to
follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
INSTALLING THE MITER LOCK ASSEMBLY
1. Attach the miter lock assembly (Fig. A - 1) to the saw
base using the two miter lock mounting screws (Fig. A - 2).
Tighten using the included 6mm hex wrench.
2. Screw the miter lock knob (Fig. A - 3) into the miter lock
assembly until hand-tight. Do not overtighten; this could
damage the miter lock.
GUARD OPERATION
NOTE: Keep hands clear of the blade when the operating
handle is lowered. Do not interfere with the proper move-
ment of the blade guard.
When the handle is lowered, the blade guard raises au-
tomatically. When the handle is raised, the blade guard
returns to its safety position, covering the blade.
RAISING/LOWERING THE SAW ARM

locked down for transporting and storing.
To raise saw arm from the lower position:

on the saw arm and pull out the release knob (Fig. 1 - 2).
2. Slowly raise the saw arm to the upper position.
To lower saw arm from the upper position:
1. Holding the operating handle (Fig. 1 - 1), pull out the
release knob (Fig. 1 - 2).

the release knob into the hole.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
The saw arm can bevel from 0° to 45° to the left.
1. As viewed from the rear of the saw, loosen the bevel lock
knob (Fig. 1 - 5) by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Tilt the saw arm until the bevel angle indicator points to
the desired angle on the bevel scale (Fig. 1 - 4).
3. Tighten the bevel lock knob by turning it clockwise. Be sure to tighten firmly without over-tightening.

The saw arm can be adjusted to different lengths using the slide bar, and can slide back and forth when cross-
cutting.
