Support the Workpiece Properly
Always support the workpiece during operation. Oth-
erwise, the workpiece may pull up and into the saw.
WARNING! Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever possible to keep hands far from the blade.
Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are held by hand
or too small to be securely clamped.
1. Use the Fence: Hold the workpiece flush against the
fence to provide a straight path for the saw blade.
This will help eliminate the tendency for the blade
teeth to bind. The fence can be used as a support
for miter, bevel and compound cuts. WARNING!
Keep hands out of the No Hands Zone at all times
during use. Use the fence hand holds to ensure
your hands do not enter the No Hands Zone.
2. Use the workpiece clamp: Clamp the workpiece to
the table with the included clamp. The clamp can be
moved to either side of the table.
a. Insert the clamp bar into either clamp socket behind
the fences.
b. Turn the clamp bar until it seats fully into the socket.
c. Rotate the clamp around so the screw is above
the table.
d. Tighten the clamp screw to secure the workpiece
to the table.
3. Use a C-clamp: Clamp the workpiece to the fence
with a C-clamp.
Support of Longer Workpieces
Longer workpieces need support along their full length.
If you are using the saw on a level work bench, prop up
the workpiece to a height of 4-3/4" from the bottom of the
saw feet. There are also many aftermarket work tables
specifically designed for miter saws that provide supports
for all types of workpieces.
Adjusting the Miter Angle
The miter angle can be set using detents for commonly
cut angles, as well as finely adjusted to any angle. Use
the miter angle pointer to adjust the turntable to any whole
degree across the miter range. The digital miter angle
readout shows the selected angle.
1. Loosen the miter angle lock knob.
2. To set the miter angle, pull up on the detent lever and
rotate the turntable to the detent angle closest to the
desired angle. The saw cuts miter angles from 55°
on the left to 60° on the right. Detents are available
at 0°, 15°, 22.5° 31.62°, 45°, and 60°.
3. Tighten the miter angle lock knob to use the miter
angle set at the detent before making a cut.
4. To make a fine adjustment to the miter angle:
A. Pull up and hold the detent lever .
B. Push the fine adjustment ring forward until it locks
to engage override.
C. Rotate the fine adjustment ring left or right until
the desired angle is displayed on the digital miter
angle readout. ¼ turn = 1° change in miter angle.
D. Tighten the miter angle lock knob to secure the
table before making a cut.
E. Pull up on the detent lever to release the fine
adjustment ring.

Adjusting the Bevel Angle
The bevel angle can be set using detents for commonly
cut angles, as well as adjusted to any angle in between by
using the bevel angle scale. The bevel mechanism also
has several degrees of overtravel on both the left and right.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. To adjust the bevel angle, place one hand on the
front handle for better control.
3. Using the other hand, lift the bevel adjustment lever:
A. To use pre-set detents, lift the bevel adjustment
lever half-way up (until it "clicks") to move the saw
head left or right, with stops at pre-set detents.
B. To freely move the head, lift the bevel adjustment
lever all the way up to freely move the saw head
across the bevel range.
4. Pull or push the saw head to the desired angle using
the bevel angle scale.
5. Lock the bevel angle by pressing down the bevel
adjustment lever before making a cut.

Adjusting the Depth of Cut
The depth of the cut can be adjusted for groove or
rabbet cuts.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. To set the depth of cut, swivel the depth stop paw
toward the front of the saw.
3. Lower the saw head to the desired depth of cut.
4. Rotate the depth stop adjustment knob until it con-
tacts the paw. Lock in the depth using the lock nut.
5. Plug in the tool and make a test cut to verify the depth
of cut is correct.
6. To remove the depth of cut limit, loosen the lock nut
by turning counterclockwise and swivel the paw away
from the front of the saw.
