WARNING: The operation of any saw can
result in foreign objects being thrown into
your eyes, which can result in severe eye dam-
age. Before starting power tool operation, al-
ways wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields and a full face shield when needed.
We recommend wide vision safety mask for use
over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with
side shields.
BEVEL LOCK KNOB
The bevel lock knob securely locks your sliding
compound miter saw at desired bevel angles.
A positive stop adjustment screw has been
provided on each side of the saw arm. These
adjustment screws are for making fine adjust-
ments at 0° and 45°.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
An electric brake has been provided to quickly
stop blade rotation after the switch is released.
FENCE
The fence on your Sliding compound miter saw
has been provided as a support to hold your
workpiece securely against when making all
cuts.
SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD
The lower blade guard is made of shock-
resistant, see through plastic that provides
protection from each side of the blade. It re-
tracts over the upper blade guard as the saw is
lowered into the workpiece.
REAR BRACKET
WARNING: A rear bracket is included
with this miter saw to prevent tipping if the
saw arm is released suddenly. Do not use this
saw before pulling the rear bracket out and
securely mounting the saw to a work surface.
The rear bracket is
pushed into the base
for shipping purposes.
Before usage, the rear
bracket must be fully
extended to prevent
tipping.
Grasp the rear bracket with one hand and pull
on the bracket until it is fully extended.

MOUNTING HOLES
pound miter saw is securely mounted to a
workbench or an approved work stand. Failure
to do so could result in an accident resulting in
possible serious personal injury.
Your Sliding compound miter saw should be
permanently mounted to a firm supporting
surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes
have been provided in the saw base for this
purpose. Each of the four mounting holes
should be bolted securely using 3/8 in. ma-
chine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not
included). Bolts should be of sufficient length
to accommodate the saw base, lock washers,
hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench.
Tighten all four bolts securely. 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.
WORK CLAMP
The work clamp pro-
vides greater control
by clamping the work-
piece to the fence or
the saw table.
It also prevents the workpiece from creeping
toward the saw blade. This is very helpful
when cutting compound miters.
Depending on the cutting operation and the
size of the workpiece, it may be necessary to
use a C-clamp instead of the work clamp to
secure the workpiece prior to making the cut.
clamp assembly may interfere with the opera-
tion of the blade guard assembly. Always make
sure there is no interference with the blade
guard prior to beginning any cutting operation
to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
To install the work clamp:
• Place the shaft of the work clamp in either
hole on the saw table base.
• Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move
