DETENT LEVER (FIG 3)
The Detent Lever (1) is located under the miter lock handle, near
the miter base. With the miter handle unlocked, lift upward on
the lever while moving the miter lock handle to the left or right.
This will move the miter table control arm. When you reach the
desired miter location release the detent lever and lock the miter
lock handle.
DUST BAG & PORT
The saw has a 2-5/16" dust port at the rear of the upper blade guard. A dust collection system can be attached
to this port.
A dust bag is provided for use with your miter saw. It can be installed over the sawdust port. Squeeze the two metal
clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide onto the sawdust port. Release pressure on the clips and the metal ring
at the bag's opening should lock in the grooves of the sawdust port. The dust bag should be checked often and if
more than half full, remove the bag by simply reversing the installation procedure. Dispose of the accumulated saw
dust in the dust bag and then reinstall the dust bag before resuming operation of the miter saw.
TABLE EXTENSIONS (FIG 4)
Your saw comes with two table extensions (1). Adjust the table
extensions in or out to provide extra support for the workpiece.
Once they are at the desired location, secure them with the
extension table extension lock knobs (3). The table extensions
each have a positive stop lever (2) that when lifted can be used for
making repetitive cuts.
WORK CLAMP ASSEMBLY (FIG 5)

operation 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.
The miter saw is equipped with a hold down work clamp. The
work clamp can be positioned in the provided mounting holes in
the base behind the miter fence to the right and left of the cutting
head. Insert the clamp column (1) into the mounting hole. Use the
clamp lock knob (2) to quickly secure the clamp in position. Use the
clamp tightening screw (3) to secure workpieces against the miter
table as needed, especially small workpieces.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the workpiece
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.
NOTE:
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.
