ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Wear eye protection.
2. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
3. Don't use the tool in the presence of flam-
mable liquids or gases.
4. Check the blade carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
5. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
6. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Dam-
age to these parts could result in blade break-
age.
7. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
8. For your safety, remove the chips, small
pieces, etc. from the table top before opera-
tion.
9. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
10. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
11. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
12. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
13. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with the vise during
all operations. Never use your hand to secure
the workpiece.
14. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
15. Never reach around saw blade.
16. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
17. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
18. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
19. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
20. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the ON
position.
21. Shut off power and wait for saw blade to stop
before servicing or adjusting tool.
22. Be alert at all times, especially during repeti-
tive, monotonous operations. Don't be lulled
into a false sense of security. Blades are
extremely unforgiving.
23. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
24. Don't abuse cord. Never yank cord to discon-
nect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.
25. Do not use the saw to cut other than alumi-
num, wood or similar materials.
26. Connect compound miter saws to a dust col-
lecting device when sawing.
27. Select saw blades in relation to the material to
be cut.
28. Take care when slotting.
29. Replace the kerf board when worn.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Carrying tool (Fig. 1)
When carrying the tool, lower the handle fully and
press the stopper pin to lock the handle in the lowered
position. Secure the turn base by means of the grip.
The tool can then be conveniently carried by the
carrying grip.
WARNING:
• Be sure that the tool is unplugged first.
• Stopper pin is for carrying purposes only and not for
any cutting operations.
Installing auxiliary plate (Fig. 2 & 3)
Install the auxiliary plate using the notch in the tool's
base and secure it by tightening the hex bolt.
Bench mounting saw (Fig. 4)
This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the
tool's base. This will help prevent tipping and possible
injury.
Installing or removing saw blade
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen
the hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it
more than three turns counterclockwise. Raise the
safety cover and center cover. (Fig. 5)
Press the shaft lock so that the blade cannot revolve
and use the socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt
clockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange and
blade. (Fig. 6)
To install the blade, mount it onto the spindle, making
sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface of
the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case. (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
• For all countries other than European countries
(Fig. 8)
The silver ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is factory-
installed onto the spindle. The black ring 25 mm in
outer diameter is included as standard equipment.
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always
be sure that the correct ring for the arbor hole of the
blade you intend to use is installed onto the spindle.
• For European countries (Fig. 8)
The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed
onto the spindle.
