FEATURES POSITIVE STOPS ON MITER TABLE Positive stops have been provided at 0°, 15°, 22-1/2°, 30°, and 45°. The 22-1/2° and 45° positive stops have been provided on both the left and right side of the miter table. BEVEL LOCK KNOB The bevel lock knob securely locks your compound miter saw at desired bevel angles. Positive stop adjustment screws have been provided on each side of the saw arm. These adjustment screws are for making fine adjustments at 0° and 45°. ELECTRIC BRAKE An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop blade rotation after the switch is released. MITER FENCE The miter fence on your compound miter saw has been provided to hold your workpiece securely against when making all cuts; the left side is also larger providing additional support. SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant, seethrough 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. WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always assure saw is fully supported and securely attached to a level work surface. WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury. MOUNTING HOLES See Figure 6. Your compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw base for this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 3/8 in. (10 mm) machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely. The hole pattern is for an 18 in. x 24 in. (457 mm x 610 mm) workbench. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Your saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply. WARNING: The operation of any saw can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before starting power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend wide vision safety mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.
