WARNING:
Always remove the lock-off button from the handle when the power tool is not in
use. This will ensure that the power tool cannot be turned on accidentally or by
someone (especially a child) who is not qualified to use the power tool. If the lock-off
button is left in the handle, serious personal injury can result. Since the lock-off button
fits rather tightly, it may be necessary to turn it to the left and right during mounting
and removing.

when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the
10mm knob bolt slightly and move the vise to a position where it will not contact the
saw blade.
Also, always confirm that the vise assembly is mounted on the right side {Fence (A)}
before using the saw for compound cutting operations (miter + bevel cutting).
