WORK CLAMP

See Figure 2.

The work 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 helpful 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.
