ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE REAR BRACKET/CARRYING
HANDLE
See Figure 9.
CAUTION:
A rear bracket is included with this miter saw to prevent
tipping if the saw arm is released suddenly. Do not use
this saw before installing the rear bracket/carrying handle
and securely mounting the saw to a work surface or stand
and may result in personal injury.
 Remove the screws from the rear bracket/carrying handle
and set aside.
 Slide the bracket in the openings on the saw base, align-
ing the holes underneath the base with the holes in the
bracket.
 Insert the screws into the holes and tighten securely.
DUST BAG
See Figure 10.
A dust bag is provided for use on the miter saw. It fits over
the exhaust port on the upper blade guard. 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 11.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the fence. 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 to the miter table
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
miter table base.
 Rotate the knob on the work clamp clockwise to move it
in or counterclockwise to move it out as needed.
