WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt your
miter saw to a workbench or an approved miter saw stand.
If a miter saw stand is used, read operator’s manual and
follow the instructions for the miter saw stand. Never
operate your miter saw on the floor or in a crouched
position. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm
supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes
have been provided in the saw base for this purpose. Each
of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using
5/16 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not
included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate
the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of
the workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in
figure 8. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to
make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any
tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench
to the floor before operating.
USING THE DEPTH STOP
See Figure 9.
When used, the depth stop limits the downward travel of
the blade when cutting dadoes and other non-through cuts.
To use the depth stop:

Unplug the saw.
 If the saw is in storage or transport position, unlock the
saw arm.
 Rotate the depth stop away from the motor housing.
 With the end of the depth control knob touching the depth
stop, adjust the depth control knob by turning the knob
until the desired depth of cut is attained.
 A wooden spacer of at least 2 1/4 inches must be placed
between the workpiece and the fence for a consistent
depth of cut in the workpiece. Use the work clamp to
clamp the spacer and another suitable clamp to clamp
the workpiece. Make the slide cut at the desired depth.
See Figures 36 and 37.
 Rotate the depth stop back towards the motor housing
for normal through cuts.
NOTE: The depth stop must be moved toward the motor
housing before locking / unlocking the saw arm.
LOCKING / UNLOCKING THE SAW ARM
See Figure 10.
When locking and unlocking the saw arm, it is not necessary
to loosen the depth control knob.
