MITER LOCK HANDLE
See Figure 8.
To install the miter lock handle, place the threaded stud on
the end of the miter lock handle into the threaded hole in
the control arm. Turn clockwise to tighten.
DUST BAG
See Figure 9.
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 10.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the fence or the saw table. It also prevents the
workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very
helpful when cutting compound miters.
Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the
workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead
of the work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making
the cut.
WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly may
interfere with the operation of the blade guard assembly.
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.
To install the work clamp:

Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the
saw table base.
 Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it in or out
as needed.
WARNING:
When using any clamp with the stop block, install the
clamp on the same side as the stop block. This will elimi-
nate the possibility of trapping the workpiece, resulting in
the saw blade and workpiece kicking up. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal injury.
