BENCH MOUNTING

This tool should be bolted with four bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes (1) provided in the tool’s
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
INSTALLING THE WORK CLAMP 
There are two mounting holes for the work clamp. These
are located just behind the fence on the left and right side
of the base.
•
Loosen the locking screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
• Place the work clamp in the desired mounting hole.
• Tighten the screw to hold the work clamp.
ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH 
To turn the saw on, depress the trigger switch. To turn the
tool off, release the switch. There is no provision for locking
the switch on. To lock the saw off, place a padlock in the
hole provided in the trigger switch.
When the trigger switch is released, the blade will be
stopped within 10 seconds.
HOW TO USE THE LASER LINE 
Your mitre saw comes with a laser guide, which can
guarantee better performance.
• Use a pencil to mark a line where you want to cut the
workpiece.
• Put the workpiece on the table.
• Turn on the laser switch in the switch handle and
adjust the pencil line to align with the laser line.
