To avoid injury from accidental start-
ing, remove plug from power source

outlet before making any adjustments.

1. Switch Lock-Off Release Button – One of these

two buttons must be pressed before the power
switch can be pressed.

2. Power Switch – The power switch used with the

“Lock-OFF” button energizes the unit.

3. Main Handle – This handle contains the power

switch. Pulling this handle down lowers the blade
into the workpiece.

4. Brush Caps – These caps keep the motor brush-

es in position and provide easy access for inspect-
ing and replacing brushes.

5. Lower Blade Guard/Lower Guard Lip – The

lower blade guard helps protect your hands from
the spinning blade. It retracts as the blade is low-
ered. Lip can be used to raise the lower guard
when guard becomes jammed on a workpiece.

6. Blade – Use only 12" blades with 1" arbor hole.
7. Sliding Fence – Supports the workpiece. The

fence has a cast in scale to make repetitive cuts
easy. The fence also has holes to secure an aux-
iliary fence if desired.

8. Kerf Inserts – Kerf inserts can be adjusted to dif-

ferent blade widths to minimize workpiece tear-
out.

9. Miter Detent Override – Allows detent action to

be locked out allowing for micro adjustments to
any miter angle.

10. Miter Scale/Miter Angle Indicator – This scale

is cast in on the base of the saw. Indicator is fas-
tened to the table.

11. Miter Detents – There are ten (10) miter detent

slots for fast and accurate miter cuts of common
miter angles.

12. Miter Detent Lever – The lever releases the

table from the detent.

13. Miter Lock Knob – The miter lock knob locks the

miter saw table at any desired miter angle.

14. Table – Sits in base, provides workpiece support,

rotates for desired miter cuts and rotates the
head assembly. The front extended part of the
table is called the miter arm.

15. Base – Provides working surface to support

workpiece.

16. Tool Mounting Pads – The four corners of the

saw provide areas to clamp, bolt or nail the saw
to a flat work surface.

17. Sliding Base Extensions – These extensions

provide extra workpiece support and are espe-
cially useful when cutting long workpieces.
