ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
This saw can tip over if the saw head is released
suddenly and the saw is not secured to a work
surface. ALWAYS secure this saw to a stable work
surface before any use to avoid serious personal
injury.
MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 9.
WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt
your miter saw to a workbench or an approved
miter saw stand. If a miter saw stand is used, read
operator's manual and follow the instructions for the
miter saw stand. Never operate your miter saw on
the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm sup-
porting surface such as a workbench, mounting board, or
miter saw stand. The saw base has four mounting holes. If
using bolts or screws, they should be of sufficient length to
accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and
the thickness of the workbench or other mounting surface.
Tighten all bolts or screws securely.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in
figure 9. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to
make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any
tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench
to the floor before operating.
INSTALLING MITER FENCES
See Figure 10.
 Turn the fence lock knob counterclockwise, to clear fixed
fence slots.
 Install the sliding miter fence. Lower fence into fence
slots. Be sure side of fence lines up flush with side of
fixed fence.
 Tighten fence lock knob securely. Repeat on other side.
DUST BAG AND FRAME ASSEMBLY
See Figure 11.
To install the dust bag and frame assembly, slide the open
end of the frame onto the exhaust port.
To empty the dust bag, remove and unzip the bag. After
emptying the contents, close the zipper and reinstall the
bag before starting the saw.
For efficient operation, empty the dust bag before it is half
full. This will permit better air flow through the bag.
NOTE: The exhaust port also accepts a 1-1/4 in. vacuum
hose and 1-1/4 in. wet/dry vacuum adaptors.
