OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
UNLOCKING AND LOCKING THE CUTTING
HEAD 
Press and lightly hold down the cutting head.
Pull out the lock-down pin (1) to release the cutting head.
The cutting head should freely move up.
Place the cutting head at the lowest position.
Secure the position and push the stop lock pin into the
locking position. Please note, if there is any cutting depth
setting, the lock in may not work. Release the cutting depth
limitation, and then lock the cutting head in.
UNLOCKING THE SLIDE CARRIAGE 
After removing the saw from the carton, loosen the slide
carriage lock knob (1). When transporting or storing the
mitre saw, the slide carriage should always be locked in
position. The slide carriage lock knob is located on the
upper side of the slide carriage.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage, never carry the mitre saw by the switch handle, the cutting arm or the mitre table handle.
ALWAYS use the handholds for transportation.
CAUTION!
To avoid injury and damage to the saw, transport and store the mitre saw with the cutting head
locked in the down position. Never use the stop pin to hold the cutting head in a down position for
cutting operations.
MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH 
The maximum depth travel of the cutting head was set at the
factory. Check to see that the blade does not extend more
than 13/32” (1 cm) below the table insert, and does not
touch the control arm throat or any part of the base or table.
If the maximum depth needs readjusting:
• Loosen the lock nut (1) to free the depth screw (2).
• Move the cutting head down until the blade extends just
13/32” (1 cm) below the table insert.
• Adjust the depth screw to touch the stop plate (3), then
tighten the lock nut to secured the depth screw.
• Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head
front to back through the full motion of a cut along the control arm. If the blade touches the inside of
the control arm, readjust the setting.
• When it is properly set, tighten the lock nut to lock the depth screw.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION!
Always make sure that the spindle lock button is released so the blade can rotate freely. MAKE
SURE that the locking pin is loose and the cutting head moves freely up and down. ENSURE that
all clamps and locks are tightly in place, and that there is no excessive play in any parts.
WARNING!
Before each use, verify that the blade is free of cracks, loose teeth, missing teeth, or any other
damage. Do not use if damage is observed or suspected.
Always wait for the blade to stop completely, and unplug the tool before changing accessories or
making adjustments.
