Installation and adjustment of the
work clamp (Fig . 2)
The work clamp has specific groove heights
on the mounting stem for use with material
thicknesses within the capacity of this miter
saw. Use the maximum-height groove when
needing to clear the highest portion of the
adjustable fence. The maximum-height groove
supports clamping of workpieces between
2 ½" and 3½" thick. The minimum-height
groove supports clamping of workpieces up to
2" thick. The miter saw has two mounting holes
behind the fences for use when mounting the
workpiece clamp.
1. Insert the work clamp into the desired
mounting hole behind the fence.
2. Adjust the height of the clamp until the threaded stud of the work-clamp knob engages in
the desired height groove. Do not lock.
3. Position the clamp to maximize clearance from the head assembly and then tighten the
work-clamp knob.
4. Lift the grip lever to loosen the grip on the work clamp. Then lift or lower the thumb lever to
raise or lower the work clamp. Lower the grip lever to lock the vertical position of the work
clamp.
5. Move the head assembly up and down and forward and back (See the detailed instructions
in the "ADJUSTMENTS") to be sure that it clears the clamp.
WARNING
no interference with the blade guard prior to beginning any cutting operation to reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the workpiece to the saw table. 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 prior to making
the cut. The work clamp can be installed and used on either side of the blade.

In some operations, the work-clamp assembly may interfere with the
operation of the blade-guard assembly . Always make sure that there is
