Recently purchased a 2733 Sliding Miter Saw and have a couple of questions:
1. This is the first ‘sliding’ miter saw I’ve had.
In the Operator’s Manual there is a section on ‘Setting for Chop Cuts’.The section says ‘... pull the head forward and tighten the slide rail lock.’.
Does that mean that any chop cut should be done with the head pulled all the way forward?
Or is it meant to mean to set the head at the right spot for the cut and then tighten the lock?
2. There is a ‘workpiece clamp’ included with the saw.
The diameter of the clamp is quite a bit smaller than the diameter of the hole in the saw where the clamp fits.
That tends to tilt the clamp a bit. My other saws have had clamps that fit pretty snugly in their holders.
I’m wondering if I’m missing something with the way this clamp works.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Hi, Eric!
Thanks for the responses.
1. I’ve attached a snippet from the manual.
I was planning to operate the saw like you described - with the head in the ‘back’ position.
Maybe there is some translation issue with the language?
2. This clamp uses a ‘latch’ at the bottom of the holder to grab the clamp when the
clamp is rotated into place. I’ve attached a picture. Hopefully, the flat space at the
bottom of the clamp is visible. The clamp is articulated enough to hold the material.
What I think bothers me is just this feeling of ‘looseness’ the clamp has. It can
just be shaken around. I think I may add some shims to it to stabilize it.
