Installation 1. Place the Saw on the solid workbench capable of supporting the weight of the Miter Saw and all work pieces. (Do not carry the unit by the Handle or misalignment of the components may occur.) 2. Using a pencil, mark through the saw Base (118) holes onto the workbench. 3. Drill four 3/8 inch holes into the workbench for the mounting hardware. 4. Secure the unit to the workbench using bolts, nuts, lock washers (not supplied). 5.
Preparation to Cut Stock 1. Before cutting stock, verify that it fits the base and fence properly and secure in place. The photos on the next page show the proper way to lay the stock on the base for cutting. These methods will keep the Saw Blade from binding with the stock, and keep it from rolling. Use the Clamp (123) to hold the stock in place for cutting. 2. Use the appropriate Saw Blade for the type of stock being cut. The Saw Blade provided is used for cutting wood. 3.

Connect the Power Cord Plug to an electrical outlet, then turn on the saw to test its operation. General Maintenance 1.
