WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn the Power Switch of the tool to its “OFF” position and unplug the tool from its
electrical outlet before assembling or making any adjustments to the tool.
Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages,
refer to the Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.
Assembly
Attaching the Extension Supports
and Miter Lock Handle
1. Insert the ends of the Extension Supports into
the holes in the sides of the Base. Tighten the
Wing Screws to hold the Extensions in place.
The upper edge of the Extensions will be level
with the surface of the saw. This provides a
wider base for the work material to rest on.
2. Thread the Miter Lock Handle into the
Plate until securely in place.
Attaching the Dust Collection Bag
3. The Dust Collection Bag slips over the Dust Outlet
behind the Blade Housing Assembly. Sawdust
created by cutting is captured in the bag.
Mounting the Saw
The Miter Saw must be mounted on a support
before use. This may be a commercially
available support or home made saw table.
There are bolt holes provided in each of the
four legs of the base. These should be firmly
mounted using bolts (not included) to your
saw stand or saw table (not included). This will
help prevent tipping or movement of the saw,
preventing injury. Also, the use of a saw table
will make it easier to efficiently handle work
materials and make more accurate cuts.
