MOUNTING THE MITER SAW (FIG. R)
To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
• Before moving the saw, disconnect the power cord from
the outlet, and lock the cutting arm in the lower position
using the stop latch.
NOTE: The stop latch is for carrying or storing the tool. It is
not to be used for holding the saw while cutting. Lower blade
and press in stop latch to secure saw for
transport or storage.
• Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or by the switch
handle. Carrying the tool by the power cord could cause dam-
age to the insulation or wire connections resulting in electric
shock or fire.
• To avoid injury from flying debris, do not allow visitors to
stand behind the saw.
• Place the saw on a firm, level work-surface where there is
room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
• Support the saw on a level work surface.
• Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
