DUST BAG
See Figure 11.
A dust bag is provided for use on the miter saw. It fits over
the exhaust port on the upper blade guard. Squeeze the two
metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide it on the
exhaust port. Release the clips. The metal ring in the bag
should lock in between the grooves on the exhaust port.
To remove the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse the
above procedure.
WORK CLAMP
See Figure 12.
WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly may in-
terfere with the 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 work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the table surface. 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 neces-
sary to use a C-clamp or other suitable clamp instead of the
work clamp to secure the workpiece to the miter table prior
to making the cut.
To install the work clamp:
 Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the
miter table base.
 Rotate the work clamp knob to move it up or down as
needed to secure the workpiece.
TO INSTALL/REPLACE THE BLADE
See Figures 13 - 14.
The blade is shipped installed on this miter saw model. In-
structions have been included for reference when changing
or replacing blades.
WARNING:
A 7-1/4 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the
saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer
blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle.
Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards,
while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from se-
curing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations
could result in a serious accident and can cause serious
personal injury.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the saw arm.
