REPEAT-A-CUT
See Figure 5.
The Repeat-A-Cut
feature on both the left and right side
miter fences can be used when making repetitive cuts. Sim-
ply mark the fence with a pencil, make the desired number
of cut(s), then wipe the mark off with a soft cloth.
SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD
The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant, see-
through plastic that provides protection from each side of
the blade. It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw
is lowered into the workpiece.
SLIDING MITER FENCES
The sliding miter fences provided with this saw help hold
the workpiece securely when making most cuts. The sliding
feature allows for clearance of the saw blade when making
bevel or compound cuts. Some cuts may require that the
sliding fence be removed completely to avoid interference
between the fence and the blade.
Loosen the fence screw before attempting to slide the fences
or lift them for removal. Once the desired position of the
fence is determined, retighten the fence screw securely.
SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
See Figure 3.
The spindle lock button locks the spindle stopping the blade
from rotating. Depress and hold the lock button while install-
ing, changing, or removing blade.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 4.
To prevent unauthorized use of the compound miter saw,
disconnect it from the power supply and lock the switch in
the off position. To lock the switch, install a padlock (not
included) through the hole in the switch trigger. A lock with
a long shackle up to 9/32 in. diameter may be used. When
the lock is installed and locked, the switch is inoperable.
Store the padlock key in another location.
