Bevel lock
The bevel lock (17) is used to set the blade at the desired bevel angle (Fig. 5). The
miter saw bevel cuts from 0° to 45° to the left and right. To adjust the bevel angle
loosen the bevel lock and pull out the 0° bevel adjuster (31). Adjust the saw arm to the
desired bevel angle.
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the bevel lock before making a cut. Failure
to do so could result in the saw arm moving during the cut and cause
serious personal injury.
Bevel adjuster
The bevel adjuster (31) needs to be pulled out before the bevel angle can be adjusted
(Fig. 6).
To return the saw arm to the vertical (0° bevel) position, move the saw arm to the left
and push in the 0° bevel adjuster.
Return the saw blade to the vertical position; it will automatically stop at the 0° bevel
position. Tighten the bevel lock.
Hold down clamp assembly
The hold down clamp assembly (18) can be mounted to the fence, either side of the
saw blade, to suit the task at hand.
Use the clamp assembly lock (16) at the back of the fence to secure the clamp
assembly in position (Fig. 7).
Note: use only ONE clamp at a time.
Spindle lock button
The spindle lock button (25) prevents the blade in the saw from rotating (Fig. 8).
Depress and hold the spindle lock button while installing, changing, or removing the
blade.
Rotating lower blade guard
The rotating lower blade guard (5) provides protection from both sides of the blade
(Fig. 9). It retracts over the upper blade guard (24) as the saw is lowered into the
workpiece.
Dust collection bag
The dust collection bag (29) fits over the dust extraction port (22). For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag
when it is no more than half full. This allows better air flow through the bag.
