4.1 Miter Angle Adjustment

The saw can miter up to 45 degrees in either direction. To adjust:

1. Loosen the miter lock knob located at the front of the saw base.
2. Press the miter detent lever and rotate the turntable to the desired angle. The saw features 9 positive miter stops: two at 15 degrees, two at 22.5 degrees, two at 30 degrees, two at 45 degrees, and one at 0 degrees.
3. For angles between detents, release the lever and tighten the miter lock knob to secure the position.

4.2 Bevel Angle Adjustment

The saw bevels up to 45 degrees to the left. To adjust the bevel angle:

1. Loosen the bevel lock handle at the rear of the saw.
2. Tilt the saw head to the desired angle.
3. Tighten the bevel lock handle to secure the position.

4.3 Sliding Function

The dual-rail slide system allows for cutting wider materials. Pull the saw head forward, make the cut, and push it back. This design also enables compact operation, allowing the saw to be placed flush against a wall.

4.4 Laser Guide

The integrated Class II laser guide illuminates the line of cut for enhanced accuracy. Activate the laser using the switch located on the saw head.

4.5 Depth Stop

Utilize the depth stop feature for making partial cuts, such as dadoes or grooves. Adjust the depth stop knob to limit the downward travel of the blade.

4.6 Workpiece Clamping

Always secure your workpiece using the included clamp assembly to prevent movement during cutting, ensuring safety and accuracy.

4.7 Dust Collection

Attach the included dust bag or a dust collection device to the dust port adapter to manage sawdust and maintain a cleaner work environment.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your miter saw.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean sawdust and debris from the saw, especially around the blade guard, miter scale, and sliding rails. Use compressed air for hard-to-reach areas.
• Blade Inspection: Inspect the blade for sharpness and damage before each use. Replace dull or damaged blades promptly.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of lubricant to the sliding rails to ensure smooth operation.

6. Troubleshooting

Address common issues with your miter saw:

• Inaccurate Cuts: Verify the saw's calibration for miter and bevel angles. Ensure the blade is clean and sharp. Check for any play in the sliding mechanism.
• Excessive Dust: Ensure the dust bag is properly attached and emptied regularly. Check for any blockages in the dust port or collection system.
• Motor Not Starting/Overheating: Check the power supply and ensure the circuit is not overloaded. Allow the motor to cool down if it overheats. Consult the full manual for specific electrical requirements.
