Workpiece Clamp Usage
WARNING: Avoid thrown
workpieces. Avoid binding the
work against the blade:
- Always hold or clamp your
work down to the saw.
- Do not hold or clamp the work-
piece on both sides of the
blade. The blade can throw a
cut off piece if you confine the
workpiece on both sides of the
blade.
- Read and follow the instruc-
tions in the remainder of your
saw’s owners manual.
- This accessory was designed
to make your miter saw opera-
tions more convenient. Read
and understand these instruc-
tions completely before use.
- Always perform dry runs. Make
sure the saw is unplugged.
Completely set up your saw.
Pull the blade and power head
through the full range of motion
to check for interference. The
clamp can be used in a left or
right configuration. Make sure
that your blade, saw guard or
motor does not interfere with
the clamp. Correct any interfer-
ence before use.
- Always tighten the clamp so
that the workpiece is secured
between the clamp and fence,
support or base. No visible gap
should be present between saw
and wood.
NOTE: The clamp can be used only in a
vertical position.
1. Place material to be cut on table of
miter saw. Secure workpiece to the
fence and table by turning knob to
tighten clamp. Do not overtighten the
clamp. It should just lightly hold the
wood against the fence and table.
2.Perform a dry run with the saw
unplugged. After you believe that the
saw is completely set up, pull the power
head down as if you were making an
actual cut. Check for interferences and
for potentially dangerous situations.
Adjust the set up so that a safe opera-
tion can be completed.
3. Complete the cut as instructed in the
remainder of you miter saw owners
manual.
IMPORTANT: To help perform the safest
and most precise miter saw cut, make the
cut and then release the power switch.
Hold the power head down and keep your
hands in place until the blade stops rotat-
ing. Then raise the power head and
remove workpiece from work table.
