INSTALLING THE HOLD-DOWN CLAMP (FIG. 3)
NOTE: There are two mounting holes for the hold-
down clamp. These are located just behind the fence
on the left and right side of the base.

● Place the hold-down clamp (B) in the desired
mounting hole.
● Tighten the screw to hold the hold-down
clamp.

For convenient storage and prevention of loss, there
is a slot in the side of the switch handle for storing the
blade wrench (D) when not in use.
INSERTING AND REPLACING BATTERIES FOR
THE LASER (FIG. 4)
• Unplug your miter saw.
WARNING: Failure to unplug your tool could
result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
● Open the battery cover located on the switch
handle.
● Insert the two supplied AAA batteries (F) as per
the diagram. If replacing the batteries, take out the
old batteries and replace with new AAA batteries.
Dispose of old batteries properly.
● Close the battery cover.
NOTE: Replace with batteries that have a rating of
1.5 volts (Number 4 series and AAA size or equivalent).
HELPFUL HINT: Remove the two batteries during
long periods of non-use of the saw. This will reduce
damage to the laser guide from the batteries
corroding during storage.
