tO prEVENt SEriOuS iNJury FrOM acciDENtaL OpEratiON:
unplug power cord from power source before making any adjustments to this tool.
Work piece 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.
Use a saw table, saw stand or other means to
support the work piece. The Miter Saw must be
mounted in such a way that the surface is level
to the ground, and supports used must provide
a surface on the same level as the saw table.
tOOL SEt up
using the Work piece Extension Supports
1.
The Work Piece Extension Supports are
inserted into each side of the Table, and
locked in place using the Wing Screws.
2.
When properly installed, the upper face of
the Work Piece Extension Supports are
level with the Table, and provide a wider
support surface for the work piece.
adjusting the Miter angle
1.
A miter cut is one that is at an angle across
the horizontal surface of the material. You will
commonly make 45º miter cuts to join two pieces
in a right angle corner. A 30º cut is often used
for a scarf joint or to make a chamfered end.

If the work surface and any work materials
supports are not level, and on the same
level, unwanted bevel angles will appear
in the cuts resulting in poor joinery.
4.
Work pieces may be secured to the saw table
using the Hold Down Clamp or other clamping
devices (not included). Securing the work piece
will provide safety by preventing kick back and by
removing the need to hold work pieces near the
blade by hand. Clamping the work piece will also
improve cutting accuracy by preventing the work
piece from moving during the cutting operation.
5.
When using this saw, work pieces are often
quite long. Allow room on both left and
right of saw for extended work pieces.
3.
Always support the work piece to be level
with the table, and so that after the cut is
made the cut off pieces will not fall. You may
need to use saw horses or other supports
(not included) to support the work piece.
4.
If the work piece is not level, you will make
an unintentional bevel cut in the material.
If the work piece is not supported, it will
bind the blade and may cause the material
to kick back, potentially causing injury.
2.
To make a miter cut, loosen the Miter Lock
Knob by turning it approximately 1/4 turn
counterclockwise. Press down the Thumb Lever
to unlock the Table. While holding the Thumb
Lever down, move the Table to the desired
angle. The Miter Angle Indicator will indicate
the selected angle. The table will lock into place
at often used miter angles, including 22.5º,
30º, 45º, and 90º on both left and right sides.
3.
With the Table adjusted to the desired angle, place
the work piece flush against the Fence, secure
it with the Hold Down Clamp and make the cut.
