ASSEMBLY
MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 9.
WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt
your miter saw to a workbench or an approved mi-
ter saw stand. If a miter saw stand is used, read op-
erator's manual and follow the instructions for the
miter saw stand. Never operate your miter saw on
the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm sup-
porting surface such as a workbench, mounting board, or
miter saw stand. Four bolt holes have been provided in the
saw base for this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes
should be bolted securely using 5/16 in. machine bolts, lock
washers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of suf-
ficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers,
hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all
four bolts securely.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in
figure 9. 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.
MITER LOCK KNOB
See Figure 10.
To install the miter lock knob, place the threaded stud on
the end of the miter lock knob into the threaded hole in the
control arm. Turn clockwise to tighten.
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. To install it, 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
interfere with the operation of the blade guard as-
sembly. 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 fence. It also prevents the workpiece from
