Familiarization

Your miter saw is fully
assembled in the carton. Open the box and lift the saw out
by the convenient carrying handle, as shown in Figure 1.
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a workbench
or strong table.
Examine Figure 4 on page 6 to become familiar with the saw and its
various parts. The section on adjustments will refer to these terms
and you must know what and where the parts are.
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the lock down
pin. Gently release the downward pressure and hold the arm allowing it
to rise to its full height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw
from one place to another. Always use the carrying handle to transport
the saw or the hand indentations shown in Figure. 2.
