How to unlock a delta 10 miter saw
How to Unlock a Miter Saw
hey guys it's Lindsay vip-style and
today I just want to do a super quick
introduction into using a miter saw or a
chop saw and we have a miter saw so I'm
going to be showing you on and your
we're not even going to cut anything
like today is to super basic like we're
talking baby steps and the reason I
thought it would be a good idea to start
with this is because um I remember years
ago when my husband knows at work and I
thought you know what I can do this I
can totally cut this one on my own I
don't need to wait for him I'm just
gonna pull out the saw and chop my piece
of wood every be good to go so I pulled
it out and I plugged it in and it was
locked and I couldn't hug it into it I
was so frustrated like I can't even join
about Matt I was and I'm calling him
getting this voice calling me good
personality he's never getting so mad
and um
so eventually I was able to get a hold
of him and he probably panicked it was
like what's your emergency but uh
regardless I figured out how to do it
and so I wanted to show you guys just
how to set this thing up um so today I'm
going to show you on our miter saw if
you have a chop saw I might be similar
and but just how to unlock these guys
and get going so I'm gonna take you over
to ours and show you how to do all right
so here's our miter saw and we have a
rigid and we have it on this funky base
where we can kind of pull it out when we
want to use it or stick it back one home
is store it and but if you look on the
back here you can see the power cord so
undo that
and get yourself plugged in and there's
two steps to get this thing unlocked and
going so you can see now right here like
if I want to lift up it's not going if I
want to slide back and forth
I've got no movement and so the first
thing to do is unlock your slide and
that is this part right here if you go
to the back of it you'll probably find
some sort of a little pin or old dial
here and if you take that and just twist
it to the lift a few times until it's
loose you don't want to bring it all the
way out just until it kind of moves
freely and then you'll see that you can
now move with a front and back motion
that's step one step two is going to be
to come up here towards the front of the
saw and you'll see this little half
circle and if you go up to it there's a
spring in here and if you just pull that
dial towards you it releases the saw now
you can take that dial and just spin it
forward out of your way and now when you
grab a hold of this off you've got your
up-and-down motion so you can pull it
out chop and slide back through your
wood so super easy super simple steps
but gotta have it got a note in order to
even get started
hope that helps and check back for more
tutorials and we'll show you guys how to
actually run this thing and chop some
wood
