CAUTION: NEVER use another person as an additional support for a work-
piece that is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to help feed, sup-
port, or pull the workpiece.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, ALWAYS keep your hands
outside the “no hands zone”, as marked on the saw table, which is at least 3
inches from the blade. Also, NEVER perform any cutting operation “freehand”
(i.e. without holding the workpiece against the fence); the blade could grab
the workpiece, causing it to slip and twist.
10. BEFORE turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation by
lowering the saw arm to make sure that no problems will occur when the
cut is made.
11. Hold the saw handle and use your middle finger to turn on the laser
switch by pushing it forward.
12. To turn on saw, push the safety lock button in with your thumb while
squeezing the On/Off trigger switch located under the handle (Fig.1a).
Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
13. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
14. Release the safety lock and trigger switch, and turn off the laser switch.
Allow the saw blade to stop rotating BEFORE raising the blade out of the
workpiece.
CUTTING BASE MOLDING (Fig. 16)
Base moldings and many other
moldings can be cut on a miter
saw. The setup of the saw depends
on base molding characteristics
and applications, as shown.
Perform practice cuts on scrap
materials to achieve best result.
1. Always make sure moldings rest
firmly against fence and table
(Fig. 16). Use hold-down clamp
provided, crown molding vise,
or C-clamps and place tape on
the area being clamped to avoid
marks on the workpiece.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to making the cut. Mark the
cut line directly on the tape.
