OPERATION
To reduce the risk of
injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields.
Before each use, verify
that the blade is free of cracks, loose
teeth, missing teeth, or any other damage.
Do not use if damage is observed or
suspected.
Always wait for the
blade to stop completely, and unplug the
tool before changing accessories or
making adjustment.
MOUNTING THE MITER SAW TO
A WORK SURFACE (FIG. 18)
To prevent your miter saw from sliding,
falling or tipping during operation, the saw
must be permanently mounted to a rm,
stable supporting surface, such as a
workbench or piece of plywood.
Four bolt holes (5/16”) have been provided
in the saw base (one in each corner) for
mounting purposes.
Each of these four mounting holes
should be securely bolted with machine
bolts, lock washers and hex nuts (not
included).
Bolts should be long enough to t through
the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts and
the thickness of the workbench or plywood.
WARNING:
WARNING:
WARNING:
FIG. 18
Tighten all four bolts securely. Position the
saw and workbench to allow adequate room
for crosscutting long work pieces. Carefully
check the workbench after mounting the
saw to make sure that no movement can
occur during use. If any tipping, sliding or
walking is noted, secure the workbench
to the oor before operating. If mounting
the miter saw to plywood, be sure to clamp
the plywood to a worktable or bench or
place the plywood on a at, stable surface
before operating the saw.
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug the tool before
attaching or removing accessories or
making adjustments. Use only specically
recommended accessories. Others may
be hazardous.
