FASTENING MACHINE TO SUPPORTING SURFACE Before operating your compound miter saw, firmly mount it to a workbench or other supporting surface. Four A holes, (A) Fig. 9, are provided for fastening the saw to a A supporting surface. When frequently moving the saw from place to place, mount the saw to a 3/4” piece of plywood. The saw can then be easily moved from place to place and the plywood can be clamped to the supporting surface using “C” clamps. A A Fig. 9 OPERATION OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND A

ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN TRUNNION AND BEVEL BRACKET After a long period of time, it may become necessary to adjust the sliding fit between the trunnion and the bevel C bracket by tightening the adjusting nut (C), Fig. 27, located underneath the bevel lock (A), Fig. 27, and collar (B) Fig. 27. B Correct adjustment provides for a good snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the tilting movement of the A trunnion when bevel cutting, or

TO CHECK FOR VERTICAL ALIGNMENT 1. The vertical alignment is set correctly when the lines do not move horizontally (sideways) as the saw head is raised and lowered. If vertical alignment is correct jump to “TO SET LEFT AND RIGHT KERF ADJUSTMENT”. 2. If the vertical alignment needs to be adjusted, begin by backing the left and right kerf adjustment screws one half turn clockwise. Remove the laser unit cover Fig. F by removing the phillips screw on either side of the cover. (Fig. A). 3. Use the

MACHINE USE TYPICAL OPERATIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS 1. Before cutting, make certain the cutting arm and table area are at their correct settings and firmly locked in place. 2. Before cutting, determine that the workpiece is the right size for the saw. 3. Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp it firmly against the fence. 4. If the size of the workpiece causes your hand to be inside the table hazard zone (see section “TABLE HAZARD ZONE” SEE FIG. 17), use a clamp to secure the workpiece.
