Great video. I'm 70, female, and have been DYI projects all my life. Have a lot of tools and finally decided I needed a compound chop saw (my current non-compound Delta saw won't cut through a 4.5" board I'm using for baseboard). The instructions for this saw are fine, but slow reading. Your video was straight-forward in it's explanations. Thanks for the video!

Just received my Metabo miter saw today. Scored it on Amazing for $108. Like most assemblies I forego the instructions. I stumbled across your channel looking for user reviews of the saw. Your straight forward no clutter presentation made me a sub. Looked at your list of videos and immediately knew this is the channel for me. During my 70 years I have gained just enough knowledge and skills to be dangerous. Your vids will be a good resource. Thanks

thanks a lot for this video. instructions were absolutely useless. I will say something that really pissed me off about this saw was having to buy a socket wrench and bit set just to use it. If you're buying a 110 miter saw on amazon, you're probably not someone flush with tools and this just added another cost to delay to the project. Now I'm waiting on TWO seperate other items to arrive because Metabo deicded to use imperial as well as metric. I guess you get what you pay for.

I had the same problem. I ended up taking the handle off using a Phillips driver, and attaching a socket (7/16” maybe?) to the shaft. The extra torque from the socket wrench loosened it up with a bit of elbow grease, whereas I was getting nowhere with the included handle. Once I loosened it, I reattached the handle and it works fine now. The saw had been sitting in the original box for a while and seized up. Still having trouble with the cutting angle mechanism, as the pivot screw on the bottom of the machine isn’t as easy to access. Your original comment was 5 months ago so you probably got it working somehow, but hopefully this can help someone else.
