ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible
serious personal injury, assemble all parts, make sure all
adjustments are complete, and make sure all fasteners
are secure before connecting saw to power supply. Saw
should never be connected to power supply when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or re-
moving blades, or when not in use.
MITER LOCK HANDLE
See Figure 7.
To install the miter lock handle, place the threaded stud on
the end of the miter lock handle into the threaded hole in the
control arm under miter table. Turn clockwise to tighten.
DUST GUIDE
See Figure 8.
To install the dust guide, place the end over the exhaust port
in the upper blade guard. Turn the guide so that the open
end is facing down.
DUST BAG
See Figure 9.
A dust bag is provided for use on your miter saw. It fits over the
exhaust port on the upper blade guard. To install it, remove
dust guide from exhaust port. Then, squeeze the two metal
clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide it on the exhaust
port. Release the clips. The metal ring in the bag should lock in
between the grooves on the exhaust port. To remove the dust
bag for emptying, simply reverse the above procedure.
WORK CLAMP
See Figure 10.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the fence or the saw table. It also prevents the
workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very
helpful when cutting compound miters.
Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the
workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead of the
work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making the cut.
WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly may interfere
with the operation of the blade guard assembly. Always make
sure there is no interference with the blade guard prior to
beginning any cutting operation to reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
Follow these directions to install the work clamp.
Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the saw
table base.
Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it in or out as
needed.
WARNING:
When using any clamp with the stop block, install the clamp
on the same side as the stop block. This will eliminate the
possibility of trapping the workpiece, resulting in the saw
blade and workpiece kicking up. Failure to heed this warning
can result in serious personal injury.
