MOUNTING THE MITER SAW (FIG. R, S)

To avoid injury from unexpected saw

movement:

● Before moving the saw, disconnect the power

cord from the outlet, and lock the cutting arm

in the lower position using the stop latch.

storing the tool. It is not to be used for holding

the saw while cutting. Lower blade and press

in stop latch to secure saw for transport or

storage.

● Never carry the miter saw by the power cord

insulation or wire connections resulting in

electric shock or fire.

● To avoid injury from flying debris, do not

allow visitors to stand behind the saw.

● Place the saw on a firm, level work-surface

where there is room for handling and properly

supporting the workpiece.

● Support the saw on a level work surface.

● Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.

Place the saw in the desired location, either on a

work bench or recommended leg set. The base

of the saw has four mounting holes (10).
