3. Dust-extraction Port

This miter saw comes with a dust bag (3) to help

you keep the work area clean. The dust bag is ideal

for smaller jobs. The dust-extraction port (E) also

accepts a standard 1-1/2 in. (38cm) vacuum hose

for dust collection.

4. Work Clamp

WARNING

• In some operations, the work clamp (2) may

interfere with the operation of the lower blade

guard (Q). To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, always make sure that there is no

interference with the lower blade guard prior to

beginning any cutting operation.

a. Insert the work clamp into one of the two clamp

receptacles (W) in the base behind the fence.

b. Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it

up or down as needed.

When cutting wide work pieces (such as nominal

2x8 boards), the boards must be clamped with

the work clamp provided or with a C-clamp (not

included).

WARNING

• When using the work clamp included or a

C-clamp (not included) to secure the work piece,

clamp the work piece on one side of the blade

only. The work piece must remain unclamped on

the other side of the blade to prevent the blade

from binding in the work piece. The work piece binding the blade will cause the motor to stall

and cause kickback, resulting in possibly serious injury.
