FEATURES
MITER LOCK HANDLE
See Figure 3.
The miter lock handle securely locks your saw at desired
miter angles.
LOCK-OFF LEVER
See Figure 4.
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
turn saw on. Once the saw is on, the lock-off lever can be
released. The spring loaded lever will spring back into the
lock-off position when the switch trigger is released.
SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
See Figure 4.
A spindle lock button has been provided for locking the
spindle of your saw in a stationary position. Depress and
hold the lock button while installing, changing, or removing
blade.
TRIGGER LOCK
See Figure 5.
To prevent unauthorized use of your miter saw, we suggest
that you disconnect it from the power supply and lock the
switch in the off position. To lock the switch, install a
padlock through the hole in the switch trigger. A lock with a
shackle up to 13/64 in. (5 mm) diameter may be used.
When the lock is installed and locked, the switch is
inoperable. Store the padlock key in another location.

ELECTRIC BRAKE
An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop blade
rotation after the switch is released.
FENCE
The fence on your miter saw has been provided as a
support to hold your workpiece securely against when
making all cuts.
SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD
The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant, see-
through plastic that provides protection from each side of
the blade. It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw
is lowered into the workpiece.
WORK CLAMP (Optional)
An optional work clamp has been provided with your saw. It
provides one means of clamping the workpiece to the fence.
Clamping secures the work and prevents the workpiece
from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful
when cutting miters.
