KNOW THE COMPOUND MITER SAW (Fig. 1)
NOTE: Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with all of the
features, operating instructions, and safety requirements.
Your miter saw has a precision-built electric motor which should be connected
only to a 120-volt, 60-Hz AC ONLY power supply (normal household current).
Do not operate on direct current (DC): the large voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged
into a correct 120-volt, 60-Hz AC ONLY outlet, check the power supply. The saw
comes with an 8-ft. power cord (no adapter needed).
This Compound Miter Saw has the following features:
15.0 Amp motor: Provides power and torque for fast cuts.
On/Off trigger switch and safety lock-off button
LaserTrac cutting guide: provides a clear indication of the line to be cut.
Laser On/Off switch

with positive stops at 0 °, 15 °, 22.5 °, 31.6 °, and 45 ° for precise cuts. Bevel cuts
from 0° to 46 ° left.
Ergonomically designed handle with molded-in comfort grip for maximum
control and comfort when cutting.

operation. Saw arm locking pin: locks saw arm in down position when pushed
in. Pull locking pin out to release saw arm.
