OPERATION

CUTTING WITH YOUR SLIDING COMPOUND
MITER SAW
WARNING:
When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure
your workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of
the blade only. The workpiece must remain free
on one side of the blade to prevent the blade
from binding in workpiece. The workpiece binding
the blade will cause motor stalling and kickback.
This situation could cause an accident resulting in
possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to
any cutting angle while the saw is running and the
blade is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with
the blade causing serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not try to cut narrow pieces using the sliding
feature. Failure to follow this warning could result
in serious personal injury.
LED LIGHTING SYSTEM
See Figure 30.
WARNING:
Do not stare into the light beam (not even from a
distance). Staring into the light beam may result in
serious injury or vision loss.
The LED lighting system casts the shadow of the blade onto
the workpiece. This results in greater accuracy of cuts and
requires no adjustments.
To use this feature, turn the LED switch on.

SHADOW OF BLADE
TEETH PROJECTED
ONTO WORKPIECE
Bring the saw arm down so that the blade is approximately
1/4 in. from the workpiece. The shadow of the blade will be
projected onto the workpiece, indicating where the blade
teeth will make contact as the cut is made.
TO MAKE NON-SLIDING CUTS
WARNING:
Securely tighten the slide lock knob when making
any non-sliding cuts. Failure to tighten the knob
could result in the saw head moving during the
cutting operation.
