MOUNTING THE MITER SAW (FIG. O)
To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
• Before moving the saw, disconnect the power cord
from the outlet, and lock the cutting arm in the lower
position using the stop latch.
NOTE: The stop latch is for carrying or storing the tool.
It is not to be used for holding the saw while cutting.
Lower blade and press in stop latch to secure saw for
transport or storage.
• Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or by
the switch handle. Carrying the tool by the power
cord could cause damage to the insulation or wire
connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
• To avoid injury from flying debris, do not allow visitors
to stand behind the saw.
• Place the saw on a firm, level work-surface where
there is room for handling and properly supporting
the workpiece.
• Support the saw on a level work surface.
• Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
Stationary Use
Place the saw in the desired location, either on a work
bench or recommended leg set. The base of the saw
has three mounting holes (
1 ).
For stationary use, fasten the saw to a workbench.
For portable use, fasten the saw to a 3/4 in. piece of
plywood. This mounting board can then be clamped to a
secure surface.
