commercially available support or home
made saw table. There are bolt holes
provided in each of the four legs of the
base. These should be firmly mounted
using bolts (not included) to your saw
stand or saw table (not included). This
will help prevent tipping or movement
of the saw, preventing injury. Also, the
use of a saw table will make it easier
to efficiently handle work materials and
make more accurate cuts.

work piece and work area Set up
Designate a work area that is clean and 1.
well-lit. The work area must not allow
access by children or pets to prevent
injury and distraction.
Route the power cord along a safe 2.
route to reach the work area without
creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area
with enough extra length to allow free
movement while working.
Use a saw table, saw stand or other

means to support the work piece. The
Miter Saw must be mounted in such
a way that the surface is level to the
ground, and supports used must provide
a surface on the same level as the saw
table. If the work surface and any work
materials supports are not level, and on
the same level, unwanted bevel angles
will appear in the cuts resulting in poor
joinery.
Work pieces may be secured to the saw
4.
table using the Hold Down Clamp or
other clamping devices (not included).
Securing the work piece will provide
safety by preventing kick back and by
removing the need to hold work pieces
near the blade by hand. Clamping the
work piece will also improve cutting
accuracy by preventing the work piece
from moving during the cutting operation.
When using this saw, work pieces are

often quite long. Allow room on both
left and right of saw for extended work
pieces.

This saw is equipped with a laser guide. 1.
When the switch on the side of the
laser battery housing is turned on, the
beam shows the location of the cut. Do
not move or bend the laser opening

be effected.
