For convenience when carrying or transportating your miter
saw from one place to another, a carrying handle has been
provided on top of the saw arm as shown in figure 3. To
transport, turn off and unplug your saw, then lower the saw
arm and lock it in the down position. Lock saw arm by
depressing the lock pin.

The miter lock handle securely locks your saw at desired
miter angles.

The switch trigger is equipped with a lock-off lever to re-
duce the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off lever
must be slid back away from the switch trigger in order to
