INTENDED USE

This miter saw is designed for professional sawing applications.

DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

This miter saw is a professional power tool. DO NOT let children come into contact with the

tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.

Transporting and Storing the Saw (Fig. 4, 7)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and remove

the battery packs or power supply before transporting, making any adjustments,

cleaning, repairing, or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental

start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS lock the rail lock

knob (V), miter lock lever (F), bevel lock knob (Z), lock down pin (Q) and fence adjustment

knobs (AZ, Fig. 7) before transporting saw.

In order to conveniently carry the miter saw from place to place, a lifting handle (R) has been

included on the top of the saw arm and hand indentations (M) in the base.

HEAD LOCK DOWN PIN (FIG. 4)

WARNING: The lock down pin should be used ONLY when carrying or storing the

saw. NEVER use the lock down pin for any cutting operation.

To lock the saw head in the down position, push the head down, push the lock down pin (Q)

in and release the saw head. This will hold the saw head safely down for moving the saw from

place to place. To release, press the saw head down and pull the pin out.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and remove

the battery packs or power supply before transporting, making any adjustments,

cleaning, repairing, or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental

start-up can cause injury.

USE OF CUTLINE™ LED WORKLIGHT (FIG. 4)

CAUTION: Do not stare into worklight. Serious eye injury could result.

The CUTLINE™ LED Worklight can be turned on by the momentary switch (S). The light will

automatically turn off within 20 seconds if the saw is not in use. The light is also activated

automatically every time the tool's main trigger (B) is pulled.

To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood, turn on the CUTLINE™ worklight

using the momentary switch (S) (not with the main trigger), then pull down on the operating

handle (A) to bring the saw blade close to the wood. The shadow of the blade will appear

on the wood. This shadow line represents the material that the blade will remove when

performing a cut. To correctly locate your cut to the pencil line, align the pencil line with the

edge of the blade’s shadow. Keep in mind that you may have to adjust the miter or bevel

angles in order to match the pencil line exactly.

Your saw is equipped with a battery monitoring feature. The CUTLINE™ worklight begins to

flash when the battery is near the end of its useful charge and/or when the battery is too hot.

Charge the battery prior to continuing cutting applications. Refer to Charging Procedure

under Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs for battery charging

instructions.

MITER CONTROL (FIG. 6)

The miter lock lever and miter release button allow you to miter your saw to 60° right and 50°

left. To miter the saw, lift the miter lock lever (F), push the miter release button (G) and move

the miter arm to the angle desired on the miter scale (K) as shown at the miter scale pointer

(J). Push down on the miter lock lever to lock the miter arm in place.

FIG. 6

MITER DETENT OVERRIDE (FIG. 6)

The miter detent override lever (H) allows your saw to override the common stop angles

(detents).

To override the detents, unlock the miter lock lever (F) by pulling upward. Push the miter

detent override lever (H) up, and move the miter arm to the angle desired on the miter scale

(K). Push down on the miter lock lever to lock the miter arm in place.

BEVEL LOCK (FIG. 7)

The bevel lock allows you to bevel the saw 49° left or right. To adjust the bevel setting, turn

the bevel lock knob (Z) counterclockwise. The saw head will then bevel easily to the left or to

the right. To tighten, turn the bevel lock knob clockwise.

0° BEVEL OVERRIDE (FIG. 7)

The bevel override allows you to bevel the saw to the right, past the 0° mark.

When the 0° bevel override lever (AB) is engaged (the lever will be turned up), the saw will

automatically stop at 0° when brought up from the left. To move past 0° to the right, bevel

the saw slightly to the left of 0°, then pull the 0° bevel override lever (AB) out. The saw head

can now be beveled past 0° to the right. Lock the saw head at the desired angle by turning

the bevel lock knob (Z) clockwise to tighten. The 0° bevel override lever can be locked out by

twisting the lever so it faces down.

Do I need to wear hearing protection when using a mitre saw? Verified

Yes you should. Although the amount of noise produced by a mitre saw can vary between brands and models, long term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. That is why it is a good idea to wear hearing protection.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
