CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES
When cutting wide work pieces, such as 2 in. X 12 in.,
clamp the workpiece to the work table using a work
clamp (A) as shown in Figure 21.
Keep clamps away from the path of the
blade and blade guard assembly.
SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES
In most cases the included table extensions (workpiece
supports) will be sufficient to support longer workpieces.
If these are not long enough, the workpiece should be
supported further out from the saw. Additional support (B)
may be used to make the workpiece lay flat on the saw
table. Use the included work clamp or a C-clamp (C) to
secure the workpiece to the miter saw table. See Figure 22.
Keep clamps away from the path of
the blade and blade guard assembly.
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
Your compound miter saw has been properly adjusted at the factory. Due to shipping or normal use, it may be necessary
to re-adjust some of the settings. Check the following adjustments periodically to assure proper accuracy and safe
operation.
Check for interference between the blade and the throat plate, before plugging the saw into the power
source.
ARM PIVOT
The arm of the saw should raise and lower completely and freely. In the lowered position and with the lock pin removed, the
arm should rise to the up position by itself. If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play in the pivot joints, it will
need to be professionally repaired at an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. Please call Company's Customer Care Center at
800-223-7278.
