AWARNING: To prevent accidental starting that
could cause possible serious personal injury,
assemble all parts to your saw completely before
connecting itto power supply• Saw should never
be connected to power supply when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, installing
or removing blades or accessodas, or when not
in use.
WORK CLAMP
See Figure 2.
The work clamp (Item no. 92.3461) provides greater
control by clamping the workpiece to the fence. It
also prevents the workpiece from creeping toward the
saw blade. This is very helpful when cutting com-
pound miters. To install the work clamp, place the
shaft of the clamp in either hole in front of the miter
table base. Thread the 8 mm work clamp screw
provided into the side of the base and tighten itto
secure the clamp in position. Rotate the knob on the
clamp to move it in or out as needed.
_IL WARNING: Make sure the saw blade or blade
guard will not hit the work clamp assembly when
cutting 35° to 45° angles. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.

TABLE EXTENSIONS

To install the table extensions (Item no. _23464),
insert the ends of the extensions intothe holes in the
sides of the base. Adjust the extensions to the desired
length. To secure them in place, screw the two large
wing screws provided intothe holes in the front ofthe
base and tighten them securely.

°DUST BAG
See Figure 3. -:
Fig. 2
The dust bag (Item no. 923466) fits over the exhaust
port on the upper blade guard. To install it, remove
the dust guide from the exhaust port. Then, squeeze
the two metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and
slide it on the exhaust port. Release the clips. The
metal ring in the bag should lock in between the
grooves on the exhaust port. For more efficient
operation, empty dust bag when no more than half
•_ This will permit better air flow through the bag.

STOP BLOCK
See Figures 4 and 5.
The stop block is useful as a stop for cutting multiple
pieces to the same length. It can be installed on either
table extension on either side of the saw base:
•Slide the stop block on the back arm of either
table extension, then insert the table extension
into the saw base. See Figure 4.
•Use the large wing screws to secure the table
extensions to the saw base and the small wing
screw to secure the stop block to the table exten-
sion. See Figure 4.
•Loosen the small wing screw and adjust the stop
block the desired distance from the blade for the
cut to be made.
•Tighten small wing_screw securely.
•Make a test cut in scrap material and measure the
length of the workpiece.
•Make any necessary adjustments.
_1= WARNING: When using the work clamp with
the stop block, install the clamp on the stop block
side of the blade. This will eliminate the
possibility of the saw catching the loose end and
kicking up. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
