_l, WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that
could cause possible serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your saw completely before connecting it to power supply. Saw should never
be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing
or removing blades or accessories, or when not in use.
WORK CLAMP
See Figure 2.
The worl_ clamp provides greater control by clamping the workpiece to the fence. It also prevents the
workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very I?elpful when cutting compound miters. To
install the work clamp, place the shaft of the clamp in either hole in front of the miter table base. Rotate the
knob on the clamp to move it in or out as needed.
_, WARNING: Make sure the saw blade or blade
guard will not hit the work clamp assembly when cutting 35 ° to 45° angles. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.

TABLE EXTENSIONS
See Figure 4.
To install table extensions, insert the ends of the extensions into the holes in the sides of the base.
Secure them in place by positioning a clamp bracket under each table extension beneath the miter table.
Orient each clamp bracket as shown in figure 4.
Secure each clamp bracket in place with a clamp bracket screw. The clamp bracket screw threads
through the clamp bracket and tightens against
bottom of miter table, securing clamp bracket against table extension.

DUST BAG
See Figure 3.
The dust bag fits over the exhaust port on the upper
blade guard. To install it, remove the dust guide from
the exhaust port. Then, squeeze the two metal clips to
open the mouth of the bag and slide it on the exhaust port. Release the clips. The metal ring in the bag should lock in between the grooves on the exhaust
port. For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when no more than half full. This will permit better air
flow through the bag.

STOP BLOCK
See Figures 5 and 6.
The stop block is useful as a stop for cutting multiple
pieces to the same length. It can be installed on either
table extension on either side of the saw base:
Slide the stop block on the back arm of either table extension, then insert the table extension into the
saw base. See Figure 5.
Use the small wing screw to secure the stop block to the table extension. See Figure 5.
Loosen the small wing screw and adjust the stop
block the desired distance from the blade for the
cut to be made.
STOPBLOCK
SMALL
WINGSCREW
Tighten small wing screw securely,
Make a test cut in scrap material and measure the length of the workpiece.
Make any necessary adjustments.
_, WARNING: When using the work clamp with
the stop block, installthe clamp o_ the stop block side of the blade. This will eliminate the
possibility of the saw catching the loose end and kicking up. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
