Familiarization
FIG. 1
Your miter saw is fully assembled in the car ton. Open the
box and slide the saw out, as shown in Figure 1.
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a
workbench or strong table.
Examine the two figures on Page 7 to become familiar
with the saw and its various parts. The section on adjus-
tments will refer to these terms and you must know what
and where the parts are.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Keep thumb
underneath handle when pulling handle down otherwise
thumb may be pinched between handle and moving lower
guard.
The handle is placed close to the guard for special cuts.
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the lock

down pin. 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 4 feet 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 a stable surface to prevent movement. To enhance the
tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7 mm) 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2. Raise the arm to the upper position
and raise the lower guard (A) as far
as possible.
3. Loosen, but do not remove guard
bracket screw (B) until the bracket
can be raised far enough to access

clamp (I), may be left on the spindle.
Installing a Blade

blade on the spindle and against the inner blade clamp with the teeth at the bottom of
the blade pointing toward the back of the saw.

4. Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with
wrench provided. (Turn counterclockwise, left-hand threads.)
