To attach the dust bag,fit it onto the dust nozzle.When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bagfrom the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dustbag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to removeparticles adhering to the insides which might hamperfurther collection.NOTE:If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaneroperations can be performed.Securing workpieceWARNING:• It is extremely important to always secure theworkpiece correctly with the proper type ofvise. Failure to do so may result in serious personalinjury and cause damage to the tool and/or theworkpiece.• After a cutting operation do not raise the bladeuntil it has come to a complete stop. The raisingof a coasting blade may result in serious personalinjury and damage to the workpiece.• When cutting a workpiece that is longer thanthe support base of the saw, the materialshould be supported the entire length beyondthe support base and at the same height tokeep the material level. Proper workpiece supportwill help avoid blade pinch and possible kickbackwhich may result in serious personal injury. Do notrely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal viseto secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag.Support workpiece over its entire length to avoidblade pinch and possible KICKBACK.1 2001549Vertical vise2745316002255The vertical vise can be installed in two positions oneither the left or right side of the guide fence or the holderassembly (optional accessory).
