PRIOR TO OPERATION
CAUTION
Make all necessary adjustments before inserting the
plug in the power source.
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
Do not use with direct current, or transformers such as
boosters. Doing so may result in damage or accidents.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the
plug is connected to a receptacle while the trigger switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating
immediately, inviting serious accident.
3. Extention cord
When the work area is removed from the power source,
use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
4. Remove all packing
connected to the tool before attempting to operate
it.
5. Releasing the locking pin (Fig. 2)
When the power tool is prepared for shipping, its main
parts are secured by a locking pin.
Press the handle slightly down and pull out the locking
pin to disengag the cutting head.
NOTE
Lowering the handle slightly will enable you to disengage
the locking pin more easily and safely. The lock position
of the locking pin is for carrying and storage only.
6. Installing the dust bag and vise (Fig. 1)
Install the dust bag onto the dust port on the miter saw.
Fit the connecting tube of dust bag and the dust port
together.
To empty the dust bag, pull out the dust bag assembly
from dust port. Open zipper on underside of bag and
empty into waste container. Check frequently and
empty the dust bag before it gets full.
NOTE
The dust bag should be angled toward the right side
of the saw for best results. This will also avoid any
interference during the saw operation.
CAUTION
Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and
the lower guard from becoming clogged.
Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal
during bevel cutting.
WARNING
Do not use this saw to cut and/or sand metals. the
hot chips or sparks may ignite saw dust from the bag
material.
(Attach the vise assembly as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 28.)
7. Installation (Fig. 3)
Ensure that the machine is always fi xed to bench.
Attach the power tool to a level, horizontal work bench.
Select 8 mm diameter bolts suitable in length for the
thickness of the work bench.
Bolt length should be at least 40 mm plus the thickness
of the work bench.
For example, use 8 mm × 65 mm bolts for a 25 mm thick
work bench.
8. Installing the holder (Fig. 4)
The holder attached to the rear of the base helps
stabilize the power tool.
Align the holder with the two holes under the rear of the
base, and tighten two screws with a Philip screwdriver.

9. Check the lower guard for proper operation
Lower guard is designed to protect the operator from
coming into contact with the saw blade during operation
of the tool.
Always check that the lower guard moves smoothly after
releasing the blade guard locking lever, and covers the
saw blade properly.
WARNING
NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL if the lower
guard does not function smoothly.
10. 90° (0°) Bevel adjustment (Fig. 5)
WARNING
To ensure accurate cuts, alignment should be checked
and adjustments made prior to use.
(1) Loosen bevel lock knob and tilt the cutting arm
completely to the right. Tighten the bevel lock knob.
(2) Place a combination square on the miter table with the
ruler against the table and the heel of the square against
the saw blade as show in Fig. 5.
(3) If the blade is not 90° square with the miter table, loosen
the bevel lock knob, tilt the cutting head to the left, loosen
the lock nut on the bevel angle adjustment bolt and use a
or
10 mm spanner to adjust the bevel angle adjustment bolt
depth in or out to increase or decrease the bevel angle.
(4) Tilt the cutting arm back to the right at 90° bevel and
recheck for alignment.
(5) Repeat steps 1 through 4 if further adjustment is needed.
(6) Tighten bevel lock knob and lock nut when alignment is
achieved.
11. 90° Bevel pointer adjustment (Fig. 6)
(1) When the blade is exactly 90° (0°) to the table, loosen
the bevel pointer screw using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
(2) Adjust bevel pointer to the "0" mark on the bevel scale
and retighten the screw.
12. 45° Left bevel adjustment (Fig. 7)
(1) Loosen the bevel lock knob and tilt the cutting head
completely to the left.
(2) Using a combination square, check to see if the blade is
45° to the table.
(3) If the blade is not at 45° to the miter table, tilt the cutting
arm to the right, loosen the lock nut and use a 10 mm
spanner to adjust the stop bolt depth in or out to increase
or decrease the bevel angle.
(4) Tilt the cutting arm to the left to 45° bevel and recheck for
alignment.
(5) Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the blade at 45° to the
miter table.
(6) Tighten bevel lock knob and lock nut when alignment is
achieved.
13. Miter angle adjustment
The slide compound miter saw scale can be easily read,
showing miter angles from 0° to 48° to the left and right.
The miter saw table has nine of the most common angle
settings with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°,
and 45°. These positive stops position the blade at the
desired angle quickly and accurately. Follow the process
below for quickest and most accurate adjustments.
Adjusting miter angles: (Fig. 8)
(1) Lift up the quick-cam locking lever to unlock the
table.
(2) Move the table while lifting up on the positive stop
locking lever to align the pointer to the desired
degree measurement.
(3) Lock the table into position by pressing down the
quick-cam locking lever.
Miter pointer adjustment:
(1) Move the table to the 0° positive stop.
(2) Loosen the screw that holds the miter pointer with a
Phillips screwdriver.
(3) Adjust the pointer to the 0° mark and retighten the
screw.
