Release pressure on the clips and the metal ring at the bag's
opening should lock in the grooves of the sawdust port. To remove
the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse the above procedure.
The dust bag should be checked often and if more than half full,
remove the bag by simply reversing the installation procedure.
Dispose of the accumulated saw dust in the dust bag and then
reinstall the dust bag before resuming operation of the miter saw.
TABLE EXTENSIONS (FIG 4)
Your saw comes with two table extensions (1). They can be installed
in either the left or the right side of the saw base.
To Install the Table Extensions
1. Loosen the extension lock knob (2).
2. Insert the ends of the table extensions into the holes (3) in
the side of the base and adjust the extensions to the desired
length.
3. Secure the extensions by tightening the extension lock knob.
The extension comes with a stop block (4) installed on the farther
side of the extension. The stop block is useful as a stop for making
repetitive cuts to the same length.
To Use the Stop Block
1. Loosen the 2 lock screws (5).
2. Raise the stop block up and retighten the 2 lock screws.
3. Adjust the extension to desired cutting length.
4. Make a test cut in scrap material and measure the length of
the workpiece
5. Make any necessary adjustments.
WORK CLAMP ASSEMBLY (FIG 5)
WARNING:
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.
This miter saw is equipped with a Hold down Work Clamp (1). The work clamp can be positioned in the provided
mounting holes in the base behind the miter fence to the right and left of the cutting head. Insert the clamp column
(3) into the mounting hole (2). Use the clamp lock knob (4) to quickly secure the clamp in position. Use the clamp
tightening screw (5) to secure workpieces against the miter table as needed, especially small work pieces.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the work piece to the fence or the saw table. It also prevents
the workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful when cutting compound miters.
NOTE:
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 prior to making the cut.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE (FIG 6, 7, 8, 9)
WARNING:
source before performing any work on the tool.
