TABLE HAZARD AREA (FIG 20)
On the stationary table, on each side of the rotating miter table,
is a "hands" warning symbol that is cast into the table. The area
between the two "hand" symbols is designated as a "Hazard
Zone" and the miter saw operator should never place their hands
inside this area while the miter saw is running.
WARNING:
"Hazard Zone" and out of the path of the saw blade.
Use the supplied work clamp or other clamping
means to secure the work piece in place before
making a cut with the miter saw.
ROTATING THE MITER TABLE (FIG 21)
This miter saw will accurately cut any angle from the straight 90°
cut to 50° left and 50° right.
the Miter Lock Handle (1) one or two turns counterclockwise, Use
your thumb to press down the detente lever (2) to release, and
then rotate the miter table to the desired angle using the Miter
Lock Handle (1). When the desired angle is reached, turn the Miter
Lock Handle (1) clockwise to lock the miter table in place.
NOTE:
This miter saw comes with 9 positive click stops, 0° for
90° cutting, left-15°, 22.5° , 30°, 45°, right-15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°
for quick setting of common miter cutting angles

POINTER AND SCALE (FIG 21)
An arrow shaped pointer (3) is located at the forward end of the
miter saw insert plate. Each line on the miter scale (4) represents
1°. When the miter table is rotated the pointer is moved from one
line to the next along the miter scale, changing the angle of cut
by one degree.
SLIDING MITER FENCE (FIG 22)
The saw is equipped with left and right miter fences. Each miter
fence consists a fixed fence (1) on the bottom and a sliding fence
(2) on the top. The sliding feature allows both fences (left and
right) to be moved when making bevel or compound cuts.
To slide the sliding miter fence, loosen the fence screw (3), slide
the fence to desired position, retighten the fence screw to secure
the sliding fence. Pre-marked 0°, 30° and 45° on the sliding fence
indicate the safe fence position for bevel cuts at that angle.
