BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
For your convenience, your saw
has a blade brake. The brake is not
a safety device. Never rely on it to
replace the proper use of the guard
on your saw. If the blade doesn’t
stop within approximately 6 seconds,
wait for the blade to stop, unplug the
saw and contact Sears or another
qualified service dealer.

WARNING
!
NOTE: To make the ON/OFF switch
childproof. Insert a padlock (not
provided), or chain with padlock, through
the hole (2) in the trigger switch, locking
the tool’s switch, preventing children
and other unqualified users from turning
the machine on.
NOTE: The miter saw is equipped
with an electric blade brake. When
the trigger switch is released, the
blade brake will stop the blade within
approximately 6 seconds.
SLIDING FENCE (FIG. DD)
The sliding fence must be extended
when making any bevel cut. Failure
to extend the sliding fence will not
allow enough space for the blade to
pass through which could result in
serious injury. At extreme miter or
bevel angles the saw blade may also
contact the fence.
1. Unlock the fence cam locking
lever (1) by pushing it toward the
rear of the machine.
2. Extend the fence (2) by sliding it out.
Lock the fence cam locking lever (1)
by pulling it in toward the fence.
