Getting to Know Your Miter Saw
1. Lower Blade Guard - The blade guard helps protect
your hands from the blade in the raised position. To
reduce the risk of binding on the workpiece, it
retracts as the blade is lowered.
2. The Repeat-A-Cut™ - Surface allows pencil marks
to be made and easily erased for duplicate cuts.
3. Miter Lock Knob - The miter lock handle securely
locks the miter saw at a desired miter angle. Index
points have been provided on right and left for 0, 15°,
22.5°, crown molding (CM) and 45°.
4. Table - Sits in base, supports pivot and allows for
approximately 49° miter left and right.
5. Base - Supports table, holds accessories and allows
for work bench or leg set mounting.
6. Left Extension Table - Helps to support long work-
pieces.
7. Sliding Fence - Slides left/right to provide maximum
support for the workpiece.
8. Lock Pin - The miter saw can be locked in the low-
ered position for compact storage.
9. Cover Plate - Holds the lower guard and is attached
to upper guard. Prevents the arbor screw from back-
ing out when properly fastened.
10. Upper Blade Guard - Supports the motor, handle,
switch, blade and lower guard.
11. Arbor lock - Allows the user to keep blade from
rotating while tightening or loosening arbor screw
during blade replacement or removal.
12. Switch Interlock Button - Prevents trigger switch
from being accidentally engaged.
13. On/Off Trigger Switch - To start the tool, depress
switch interlock button with right thumb or palm of
either hand and then squeeze the trigger. Release
the trigger to stop the miter saw. Install padlock
through the hole in the trigger to prevent unautho-
rized use.
14. Sliding Fence Locking Knob - Locks fence at cor-
rect cutting position.
15. Combination Wrench - Used for 1/4" hex and Phil-
lips head screw adjustments.
16. Bevel Index Pin - This three position pin provides a
0° and crown molding bevel stop when pushed all the
way in. In the middle position a 0° and 45° bevel stop
is provided. Pull the pin all the way out and the stops
can be over-ridden allowing -2° to 47° bevel capacity.
17. Bevel Lock Knob - Locks the miter saw at a desired
bevel angle.

19. Carrying Handle - This handle is built into the unit to
move it from one location to another. Before attempt-
ing to pick up the unit by the carrying handle always
lock the miter saw power head in the down position
using the lock pin. Make sure the miter lock and bevel
lock knobs are tight.
