ADJUSTMENTS
Always remove the battery pack
WARNING
before changing accessories or
making adjustments. Do not defeat the guards.
No Hand Zone
Keep hands out of the No
WARNING
Hands Zone at all times
during use. Contact with blade will result
in serious injury.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there
is an increased risk of injury from blade contact. Use
the No Hand Zone indicators to ensure hands are kept
a safe distance from the blade.
No Hand Zone Indicators:
• No Hands Zone Circle (groove around turntable)
• Fence Hand Holds (notches on top of fences)
• Hand Stops (used when fence is removed)
Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting
either in front or behind the saw blade. The proximity
of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be
obvious and you may be seriously injured. Saw head
may slide/move, putting your safety at risk. Always
wait for the blade to stop completely before raising
the head, moving workpiece or changing settings.
Select the Workpiece Carefully
Be cautious of pitchy, knotty, wet or warped work-
pieces. These materials are likely to create pinching
conditions. Workpieces that bow and pinch may
result in kick back. Inspect for and remove nails
before cutting. Always keep blades clean and sharp;
otherwise the blade produces a narrow kerf and is
likely to be pinched by the workpiece. This tool is not
recommended for cutting ferrous metals such as iron
and steel. See Applications for a more complete list
of materials that can be cut.
Support the Workpiece Properly
Always support the workpiece during operation.
Otherwise, the workpiece may pull up and into the
saw. WARNING! Use clamps to support the work-
piece 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 work-
piece 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 3" ((2) 2"x4" stacked flat)
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 com-
monly cut angles (0°, 15°, 22.5° 31.6°, and 45°), as
well as finely adjusted to any angle to compensate
for a custom situation.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Lift up the miter lock lever to release the turntable.
3. Lift the detent lever and rotate the turntable to the
detent angle closest to the desired angle.
4. To make a fine adjustment to the miter angle:
a. Lift the detent lever.
b. Rotate the detent override knob forward.
c. Rotate the turntable to the exact angle.
5. Press down the miter lock lever to lock the adjust-
ment in place and avoid shifting during use.
Adjusting the Bevel Angle
The bevel can be adjusted to any angle from 0° to 48°,
left or right.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Loosen the bevel knob.
3. Tilt the saw head to the desired angle.
NOTE: To overcome the 0° stop, hold the saw
head left of 0°, then pull out the 0° stop pin and
tilt the saw head to the desired angle.
4. Tighten the bevel knob securely to lock the bevel
adjustment in place.
5. For precise angles
(22.5°, 33.9°, or
30.0°), position the
desired engraved
bevel stop accord-
ingly. The upper
bevel stop allows
for 22.5°. The low-
er bevel stop al-
lows for 33.9° and
30.0° on reverse
sides. To access
the 30.0° bevel stop, using the long end of the on-
board allen tool, remove the 22.5° bevel stop, then
remove the lower bevel stop and flip until the 30.0°
engraving is facing up. Secure the lower bevel stop
before proceeding. Remember to reinstall the 22.5°
bevel stop when finished.
