The Power Switch:
Note: The Miter Saw can be disabled for safety purposes by removing the Safety But-
ton (16). Make sure to store the Safety Button in a safe place, and do not lose it.
The Miter Saw cannot be started without the Safety Button in place.
(See Figure I.)
Before plugging in the Miter Saw, check the operation of the Safety Button (16)
and the Switch Lever (25). Do not operate the Miter Saw if either the Safety But-
ton or Switch Lever are not operating properly. (See Figure I.)
To operate the Miter Saw, rst make sure the Motor Housing (26) is in its full up
position. NOTE: To raise and lower the Motor Housing, pull out on the Knob (74)
and move the Motor Housing fully up or fully down. Then, release the Knob to
lock the Motor Housing in position. (See Figure N, page 18.)
Note: Only lock the Motor Housing in the down position for carrying or storing the Miter
Saw. Never attempt to cut with the Miter Saw when the Motor Housing is in the
lock down position.
Plug the Power Cord into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet. De-
press the Safety Button (16) with your thumb, and squeeze the Switch Lever (25)
on the Handle Cover (40). Then, release the Safety Button. (See Figure I.)
To turn off the Miter Saw, release the Switch Lever (25). This allows the Safety
Button (16) to return to the “OFF” position. (See Figure I.)
Do not force the Switch Lever (25) if the Safety Button (16) is not present. This
will damage the Switch Lever mechanism. (See Figure I.)
To Adjust The Cutting Depth:
WARNING! Prior to performing this procedure, make sure the Power Cord of the
Miter Saw is unplugged from its electrical outlet.
The cutting depth can be adjusted to assure that the workpiece is cut completely
through.
