ASSEMBLY
DUST BAG
See Figure 11.
A dust bag is provided for use on this miter saw. It fits
over the dust guide on the upper blade guard. To install it,
squeeze the two metal clips to open the mouth of the bag
and slide it on the dust guide. Release the clips. The metal
ring in the bag should lock in between the grooves on the
dust guide.
To remove the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse the
above procedure.

WORK CLAMP

See Figure 12.
WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly
may interfere with the operation of the blade guard
assembly. Always make sure there is no interfer-
ence 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 fence. 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.
To install the work clamp:
 Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the
saw table base or the hole in the table extension.
 Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it in or out
as needed.
NOTE: The work clamp has a quick release lever that makes
positioning of the work clamp effortless.
