Familiarization
Your miter saw is fully assembled in the carton. Open the box and
lift the saw out by the convenient carrying handle, as shown in
Figure 1.
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a workbench or
strong table.
Examine Figure 2 to become familiar with the saw and its various
parts. The section on adjustments will refer to these terms and you
must know what and where the parts are.
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the lock
down pin, as shown in Figure 2. Gently release the downward pressure and hold the arm allowing it to
rise to its full height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw from one place to another. Always use
the carrying handle to transport the saw or the hand indentations shown in Figure 2.
Bench Mounting
Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Figure 2. (Two different sized
holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use either hole, it is not necessary to use
both.) Always mount your saw firmly to a stable surface to prevent movement. To enhance the tool's
portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 12.7mm (1/2") or thicker plywood which can then be clamped
to your work support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting screws don't
protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping
the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the mounting screw holes are
located. Clamping at any other point will surely interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise
uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw sits
firmly on the mounting surface.
