BENCH MOUNTING
The miter saw has four holes on the base for bench mount-
ing (Fig. 6 - circles). Mount and fix the saw to a level, hori-
zontal bench, worktable, or miter saw stand (compatible
with WEN Models MSA330 and MSA750) using four bolts
and nuts (not included).
If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 1/2 inch or
thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work
bench or moved to other jobsites and reclamped.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the mounting surface is not
warped. Uneven surfaces can cause binding and inaccu-
rate sawing.
INSTALLING THE DUST COLLECTION BAG
The dust collection bag should be used at all times. Follow
the instructions below to install the bag.
1. Locate the dust port on the back of the miter saw (Fig.
7 - 1).
2. Squeeze the metal clip on the dust collection bag to open
the mouth of the bag. Slip the mouth of the dust collection
bag over the dust port and release the clip to secure the
bag to the outlet.
3. Open the zipper on the bottom of the bag to empty. For
efficient operation, empty the dust bag when half full to al-
low for better air flow through the bag.
4. If desired, use the included dust port adapter to connect
to a dust extraction system. If needed, use a hose clamp to
tightly clamp the dust hose to the adapter.
SQUARING THE FENCE WITH THE BLADE
To make accurate cuts, the fence must be perpendicular to the saw blade.
1. Lower the saw arm down to the lower position and lock the release bolt (Fig. 2 - 2).
2. Slide the saw arm to the back and tighten the slide lock knob (Fig. 3 - 2).
3. Set the miter table indicator (p. 15, Fig. 8 - 1) to 0° and tighten the miter lock knob. Place a combination square
(not included) against the fence and alongside the saw blade (should be in contact with the surface of the blade,
not the teeth).
