BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
For your convenience, your saw has an electric
brake. The brake is not a safety device. Never rely
on it to replace the proper use of the guard on your
saw. If the blade does not stop within 5 seconds,
unplug the saw and follow the instructions in
TROUBLESHOOTING.
TO TURN SAW ON (FIG. 30)
This miter saw is equipped with a two step ON/OFF
trigger switch. Press down on the yellow safety lock
switch (2) and squeeze the trigger switch (1) to turn
the miter saw ON.
NOTE: Make the ON/OFF switch childproof. Insert
a padlock or chain with a padlock (not included)
through the hole (3) in the trigger switch, locking
the tool’s switch and preventing children and other
unauthorized users from turning the machine on.
The miter saw is equipped with an electric brake.
When the trigger switch is released, the electric
blade brake will stop the blade within 5 seconds.
Ɣ To avoid injury, after completing a cut and
releasing the trigger switch, allow the blade
brake to activate and stop the blade before
raising the cutting head.
Ɣ To avoid injury, check and tighten the arbor bolt
periodically.
SLIDING CARRIAGE SYSTEM (FIG. 31)
To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the
full rear position after each crosscut operation.
ŏ For chop cutting operations on small
workpieces, slide the cutting head assembly
completely toward the rear of the unit and
tighten the carriage lock knob (1).
ŏ To cut wide boards up to 14 in., the carriage lock
knob must be loosened to allow the cutting head
to slide freely.
NOTE: Please refer to the section of “SLIDE
CUTTING WIDE BOARDS” on page 34 to cut
boards wider than 14 in.
