Stabilizer
Your saw includes one base stabilizer. This must be installed
before using your saw. Insert the stabilizer into the holes in
the back of the unit, as shown in Figure 6. Move the stabilizer
in or out until it contacts the work surface. Then tighten the
screws in the base to fasten the stabilizer.
Bench Mounting
Holes are provided to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in
Figure 4. (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
prevent movement. To enhance the tools portability, it can be
mounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7mm) 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 dont 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 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.
Transporting the Saw
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE SLIDING COMPOUND
MITER SAW BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE IT OR
MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw from one place
to another. The lock down pin is not to be used for any
cutting operation, and is for carrying and storage only. When
transporting the saw, always lock the head in the down
position, miter the saw fully to the right (60° miter), lock the
miter adjustment/lock handle, lock the rail lock knob with the
head fully forward, slide the fences completely inward, and
lock the bevel adjustment/lock handle with the saw at a 0°
bevel. Always use the carrying hand holds in the base to
transport the saw. Carry the saw as shown in Figure 1A.
