i. Only use safety equipment that has been

approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.

j. Avoid unintentional starting.

Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

k. Do not leave the tool unattended when

it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

l. This product is not a toy.

Keep it out of reach of children.

m. People with pacemakers should consult their

physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should:

• Avoid operating alone.

• Do not use with Trigger locked on.

• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.

• Properly ground power cord. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.

n. The warnings, precautions, and instructions

discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

7. 014-)#1"<&H)7$#.

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

a. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for

an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

b. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces

the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

c. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the

vibration effects on the user.

d. Use tools with the lowest vibration

when there is a choice.

e. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

f. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping

safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

g. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as

explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.

3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.

1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.

2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either

a two or three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. [H$$&J)4($&I/\

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. [H$$&J)4($&I/\

4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. [H$$&J)4($&I/\

A miter cut is one that is at an angle across the horizontal surface of the material. 45º miter cuts to join two pieces in a right angle corner are common. A 30º cut is often used for a scarf joint or to make a chamfered end.

1. Loosen the Miter Lock Knob by turning it counterclockwise to unlock the Miter Table. Push down on the Miter Detent Lock Lever and move the Table to the desired angle.

2. The Miter Angle Indicator will indicate the selected angle. When the Miter Detent Lock Lever is released, the Table will lock into place at often used miter angles, including 0º, 15º, 22.5º, 30º,

31.6º, 45º and 48º left on both left and right sides.

A bevel cut is one that is at an angle vertically. Bevel cuts can be used to miter relatively wide and thin material. Bevel cuts can be used in combination with a miter cut to form a compound angle. Compound angle cuts are often used in crown moldings, picture frames and similar trim materials.

1. Loosen the Bevel Lock Knob at the rear of the saw to unlock the Saw Head Assembly.

2. To adjust the left bevel angle between 0º and 45º, move the Saw Head Assembly to the left to the desired angle. Read the angle on the Bevel Scale.

3. Press the Bevel Angle Lock Button during adjustment to also set angles up to 48° left bevel angle or up to 3° right bevel angle.

4. Lock the Saw Head Assembly into position by rotating the Bevel Lock Knob clockwise. Tighten firmly but do not over-tighten.

5. Make a sample cut in a piece of scrap to confirm that the bevel angle is correct. If it is not, correct the angle before cutting.

1. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.

2. Cut only the following materials:

Dimensional lumber, plywood, particle board, plastic.

!"#$% Use caution to avoid overheating the cutting tips. If cutting plastic, cut at an even pace to avoid melting it.

3. Refer to cutting capacities in the Specifications Table on page 8 for limitations on workpiece size.

4. Allow room on both left and right sides of Saw for extended workpieces.

5. Use additional supports if needed to ensure the stability of the workpiece. Mount the Saw

so that the surface is level to the ground, and additional supports to provide a surface on the same level as the saw table. If the work surface and any workpiece supports are not level, and on the same level, unwanted bevel angles will appear in the cuts resulting in poor joinery.

6. Secure workpieces to the saw table using the Clamp or other clamping devices (not included). Securing the workpiece will provide safety by preventing kick back and by removing the need to hold workpieces near the blade by hand. Clamping the workpiece will also improve cutting accuracy by preventing the workpiece from moving during the cutting operation.

2. Unlock the Head Lock-Down Pin.

3. Check that all adjustment knobs are tight (Miter Lock Knob, Bevel Lock Knob, and Sliding Fence Lock Knob).

4. Blow any sawdust or debris away from the Fence. Place the work material against the Fence.

5. Align the marked location of the cut on the work material with the saw blade. To prevent the workpiece from being cut too short, align the edge of the blade with the measured mark, keeping the rest of the blade on the waste side of the cut.

6. Hold the work material in place using the Clamp. Ensure that the work material is level and supported securely. Use saw horses or supports if necessary.

7. Grip the Saw Handle, press the Trigger Lock Button with your thumb, and squeeze the Trigger to start the Saw.

8. Use two hands and hold workpiece securely against table and fence at all times.

9. Press down lightly to cut the workpiece. Press straight down, “chopping” the material.

Do not bear down on the material — use

light downward pressure. If the material binds the blade, release the Trigger.

10. When the cut is completed, raise the Saw Head, release the Trigger, wait for the Blade to stop turning, release the Clamp and remove the workpiece from the Saw.

11. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and unplug it after use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.

12. Lock the Saw Head down and lock all other adjustments before moving the Saw. Use the Carrying Handle and handle cut outs on each side of the Base to lift and support the Saw while moving it.
