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.
If the miter lock becomes loose or
begins to slip, insert a flat screw-
driver under the miter lock lever,
loosen the jam nut behind the lock
lever, and tighten the miter lock
rod, as desired (1/4 turn at a time). Re-tighten the
jam nut after adjusting the lock rod.
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.
The maximum left and right bevel can be adjusted
using the stop bolts. To adjust, loosen the lower nut,
tighten or loosen the stop bolt, then tighten the lower
nut to lock securely.
Adjusting the Fences
Every time the bevel or miter angle settings are changed,
make sure the fences are set correctly.
Fences MUST:
• Support the workpiece
• Not interfere with the blade or lower guard
• Be adjusted to keep hands out of the No Hand Zone
To adjust the Fences
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Loosen the fence lock knobs.
3. Slide the fences side-to-side to the desired posi-
tion to allow for a bevel or compound miter cut.
Position the fences properly for maximum work
support while maintaining hand safety. WARNING!
Ensure fence hand holds are positioned to keep
hands out of the No Hand Zone.
4. Tighten the fence lock knobs securely before mak-
ing a cut.
NOTE: If either fence has any movement forward
to backward, tighten the fence set screw, located
on the back of each fence slot.
5. With the saw OFF and the workpiece removed
from the table, slowly lower the saw head com-
pletely to ensure the guard and blade do not con-
tact the fences when making miter and bevel cuts.
The lower guard should cover the blade when the
saw head is up and it should move freely and open
automatically as the saw head is lowered into the
workpiece. WARNING! Never disable or remove
guards. Only push the lower guard into the OPEN
position when changing blades.
If the lower guard appears loose, sticks, or does not
cover the blade when the saw head is up, take the saw
to an authorized service center for repairs.
Ensure the Fences are adjusted properly to allow for
free-movement of the guards during the complete
movement of the cut.
Setting for Chop Cuts
The slides can be locked and the saw head set in
the proper position to use the saw for chop cuts (cuts
not requiring the use of the slides).
1. To lock, pull the head forward and tighten the
slide rail lock.
2. To unlock, pull the head forward and loosen the
slide rail lock.
