Using the Depth Stop
If a kerfing or rabbet cut which does not cut through the workpiece is desired,
use the Depth Stop Bolt to control the depth of the cut.
1. Unlock the Head Lock-down, see page 9.
2. Raise the saw head assembly.
3. Pull down on the saw head to
check the current setting.
4. Loosen the Depth Stop Nut on the Depth Stop Bolt.
5. Turn the Depth Stop Bolt clockwise to decrease
depth and counterclockwise to increase depth.
6. Tighten the Depth Stop Nut after adjustment.
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent injury and distraction.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Allow room on both left and right of
saw for extended workpieces.

4. Use a saw table, saw stand or other means to
support the workpiece. Mount the Miter Saw
so that the surface is level to the ground, and
additional supports provide a surface on the
same level as the saw table. If the work surface
and any workpiece supports are not level, and
on the same level, unwanted bevel angles will
appear in the cuts resulting in poor joinery.
5. Secure workpieces to the saw table using the Clamp
or other clamping devices (not included). Securing
the workpiece will provide safety by preventing kick
back and by removing the need to hold workpieces
near the blade by hand. Clamping the workpiece
will also improve cutting accuracy by preventing the
workpiece from moving during the cutting operation.
