Black & Decker 1710 Instruction Manual

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: For your own safety read instruction manual before operating miter saw.

Polarized Plugs

REPLACEMENT P ARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way . Units rated for 220 volts will have a different style plug
that will not fit the outlet and is not polarized.

Important Safety Instr uctions

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.

• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An under­sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewel-
ry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair cov­ering to contain long hair.

• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eye-
glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and
it frees both hands to operate tool.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser vicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and
the like.

• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL ST AR TING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging
in.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unin-
tentionally contacted.

• CHECK DAMAGED P ARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function–check

for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.

• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.

Additional Safety Rules for Miter Saw

• Wear eye protection.

• Keep hands out of path of saw blade.

• Do not operate saw without guards in place.

• Do not perform any operation freehand.

• Never reach in back of saw blade.

• Turn of f tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings.

• Disconnect power before changing blade or servicing.

• Blade adjustment is to be made only with the power off and the blade stopped.

• Rated saw blade diameter is 10".

• No load speed is 5,500 R.P.M.

Additional Safety Instructions for Miter Saws

CAUTION:Do not connect unit to electrical power source until complete instructions are read and

understood.

• DO - Protect electric supply line with at least a 15 ampere time delay fuse or a circuit breaker.

• DO - Make cer tain the blade rotates in the correct direction and that the teeth at the bottom of

the blade are pointing to the rear of the miter saw.

• DO - Be sure all clamp handles are tight before starting any operation.

• DO - Be sure all blade and clamp washers are clean and recessed sides of collars are against

blade. Tighten arbor screw securely.

• DO - Keep saw blade sharp.

• DO - Keep motor air slots free of chips and dirt.

• DO - Support long work with an outboard tool rest.

• DON’T - Attempt to operate on anything but designated voltage.

• DON’T - Wedge anything against fan to hold motor shaft.

• DON’T - Cut ferrous metals (those with any iron or steel content) or any masonry.

• DON’T - Use abrasive wheels. The excessive heat and abrasive particles generated by them will

damage the saw.

• DON’T - Allow anyone to stand behind saw.

• DON’T - Apply lubricants to the blade when it’s running.

• DON’T - Use blades rated less than 5500 R.P.M.

• DON’T - Attempt to cut pieces smaller than 6" (153mm) without clamping.

• DON’T - Perform any operation freehand.

• DON’T - Reach underneath the saw unless it is turned off and unplugged. The saw blade is exposed

on the underside of the saw.

• DON’T - Move either hand from saw or workpiece or raise arm until blade has stopped.

• DON’T - Use any blade which is not 10" (254mm) in diameter.saw.

CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which
can be toxic. When cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and
minimize skin contact.

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING ALL TOOLS, USE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PAR TS. REPAIR OR
REPLACE DAMAGED CORDS.

• DON’T - Tie, tape or other wise hold guard open when operating saw.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For your convenience and safety, the following warning labels are on your miter saw.

ON GUARD: (DANGER - KEEP AWAY FROM BLADE.) ON TABLE: (2 PLACES)

ON FIELD CASE:

Electrical Connection

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 volts, AC only means that
your saw is operated on alternating current only and never on direct current. A voltage decrease of
10 percent or more will cause a loss of power and overheating. All B&D tools are factory tested. If
this tool does not operate, check the power supply .

Familiarization

Your miter saw is fully assembled in the carton. Open the box and lift the saw out by the han­dle, as shown in Figure 1. Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a workbench or
strong table.

Examine Figure A to become familiar with the saw and its various parts. The following section
on adjustments will refer to these terms and you must know what the parts are.

Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the lock down pin, as shown in Figure

2. Gently release the downward pressure and allow the arm to rise to its full height. Use the
lock down pin when carrying the saw from one place to another. Always use the handle to
transport the saw.

Bench Mounting

Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. Always mount your saw firmly
to prevent movement. To enhance the tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2"
(12.7mm) or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to
other job sites and reclamped.

NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure the mounting screws
don’t protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work support.
When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the
mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will surely interfere with the
proper operation of the saw.

Changing the Blade

1. TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.

2. With the saw arm in the upper position, raise the lower guard as far as possible.

3. Loosen (but do not remove) the guard bracket screw, shown in Figure 3 until the guard
bracket can be raised enough to permit access to the blade screw.

4. Push down on the saw arm to dig the saw blade teeth into a piece of scrap wood. Use the
blade wrench to remove (clockwise) the left hand threaded blade screw.

5. Remove outer clamp washer and saw blade.

6. Install the new blade making sure that the teeth at the bottom edge of the blade are point­ing toward the back of the saw.

7. Replace the outer clamp washer and tighten the blade screw (counterclockwise) while hold-

ing the lower guard up and the saw blade teeth dug into the scrap wood.

8. AFTER INSTALLING THE SAW BLADE, REPOSITION GUARD BRACKET MAKING SURE IT
IS FULLY SEATED ON GUARD SCREW. FIRMLY TIGHTEN SCREW. FAILURE TO DO SO
WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE SAW.

Adjustments

PERFORM ALL ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE MITER SAW UNPLUGGED!

NOTE: Your miter saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment is

required, follow the steps listed to adjust your saw.

PIVOT BOLT ADJUSTMENTS

Adjustments to the pivot bolt may be required as wear occurs. Adjustment must be made with the
saw fully assembled, including the blade. Loosen or tighten the pivot bolt by turning the hex head
located on the left side of the pivot assembly until nearly all play is removed and the motor moves
up smoothly when released.

BLADE TO FENCE SQUARENESS: Perform the steps listed:
NOTE: After adjustments, blade may not align with slot in table top.

1. With the saw unplugged, lower the pivot arm until tip of saw blade is even with top of saw
table. Blade should appear to be parallel to the sides of the slot. It is not important that the
blade be perfectly centered to the slot, but more importantly it should be reasonably paral­lel. See Figure 4.

If the blade appears to be parallel, proceed to "miter pointer adjustment" below. If not,
loosen (do not remove) the two bolts under the back edge of the saw table that hold the
pivot arm (see Figure 5) to the saw. Align the blade as necessary and tighten the bolts (23­27 ft. lbs.). (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN)

2. Check the squareness of the blade to the fence using a square. If the blade checks OK,
then saw is ready for use.

3. If blade and fence are not square (90°), the saw must be adjusted.
To adjust the squareness, loosen the two handle bar bolts, which are located underneath

the saw in the middle of the rotary table, (Figure 7). DO NOT REMOVE THESE BOLTS.
With the handle bar bolts loose and the rotary base set in the zero position, align the

blade square to the fence, (Figure 6).
Tighten the handle bar bolts (23-27 ft. lbs.) and your saw should be properly adjusted.

MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENT

TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.

1. Loosen the miter clamp knob and squeeze the miter latch to move the miter arm to the 0
position, as shown in Figure 8.

2. With the miter clamp knob loose, allow the miter latch to snap into place as you rotate the
miter arm past 0.

3. Observe the pointer and miter scale through the viewing opening. If the pointer does not
indicate exactly 0, use a flat bladed screwdriver to gently push it left or right as required.

Guard Actuation and Visibility

The blade guard on your saw has been designed to automatically raise when the arm is
brought down and to lower over the blade when the arm is raised. The guard can be raised by
hand when installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the saw. NEVER RAISE THE
BLADE GUARD MANUALLY UNLESS THE SAW IS TURNED OFF.

Switch

To turn the saw on, depress the trigger switch- Figure 9. To turn the tool off, release the switch.
There is no provision for locking the switch on, but a hole is provided in the trigger for insertion
of a padlock to lock the saw off.

Cutting with Your Saw

NOTE: Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials, we will limit our dis­cussion to the cutting of wood only. The same guidelines apply to the other materials. DO NOT
CUT FERROUS METAL (IRON AND STEEL) OR MASONRY MATERIALS WITH THIS SAW. Do not
use any abrasive blades.

Set the miter arm at the desired angle. Be sure to tighten the miter clamp knob and hold the
wood on the table and firmly against the fence. Turn on the saw by squeezing the trigger switch
shown in Figure 9.

When the saw comes up to speed (about 1 second) lower the arm smoothly and slowly cut
through the wood. Let the blade come to a full stop before raising arm.

Quality of Cut

The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables. Things like material being cut,
blade type, blade sharpness and rate of cut all contribute to the quality of the cut.

When smoothest cuts are desired for molding and other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth or
greater) carbide blade and a slower, even cutting rate will produce the desired results.

Ensure that material does not creep while cutting, clamp it securely in place. Always let the
blade come to a full stop before raising the arm.

If small fibers of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape
on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove tape when
finished.

For varied cutting applications, refer to Table 2. Select the blade that best fits your needs.

Body and Hand Position (Figure 10)

Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw will make cutting
easier , more accurate and safer. Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer than
6" (153mm) from the blade. Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting.
Keep hands in position until the trigger has been released and the blade has completely stopped.
ALWA YS MAKE DR Y RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT YOU CAN CHECK
THE P ATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS HANDS IN FRONT OF BLADE AS SHOWN IN
FIGURE 10.

Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As you move the miter arm left
and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw blade.

Support for Long Pieces

TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.

Support long workpieces using any convenient means, such as sawhorses or similar devices to
keep the ends from dropping.

Special Cuts

NEVER MAKE ANY CUT WITHOUT FIRMLY CLAMPING THE MATERIAL. ALWAYS USE PROPER
BLADE.

ALUMINUM CUTTING

Aluminum extrusions such as those used when making aluminum screens and storm windows
can easily be cut with your saw. Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest
cross section, as shown in Figure 11. Figure 12 illustrates the wrong way to cut these extrusions.

Use a wax lubricant when cutting aluminum such as Johnson’s Stick Wax No. 140. Apply the
stick wax directly to the saw blade before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade.

The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial mill supply houses, provides proper
lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to the blade.

BOWED MATERIAL

When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure 13. Positioning the materi­al incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

CUTTING PLASTIC PIPE

Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood andclamped or held

firmly to the fence to keep it from rolling.

Importantes mesures de sécurité

AVERTISSEMENT : Par mesure de sécurité personnelle, lire le guide d’utilisation avant de se

servir de l’outil.

Fiche polarisée

Afin de réduire les risques de secousses électriques, l’outil est muni d’une fiche polarisée (une lame
plus large que l’autre). Ce genre de fiche n’entre que d’une façon dans une prise polarisée.
Lorsqu’on ne peut insérer la fiche à fond dans la prise, il faut tenter de le faire après avoir inversé
les lames de côté. Si la fiche n’entre toujours pas dans la prise, il faut communiquer avec un élec­tricien certifié. Il ne faut en aucun cas modifier la fiche.

Importantes mesures de sécurité

•LAISSER LES PROTECTEURS EN PLACE et s’assurer qu’ils sont toujours en bon état.

• ENLEVER LES CLÉS DE RÉGLAGE. Prendre l’habitude de vérifier si les clés de réglage ont été
retirées de l’outil avant de le faire démarrer.

•BIEN DÉGAGER LA SURFACE DE TRAVAIL. Des surfaces et des établis encombrés peuvent être
la cause de blessures.

• TENIR COMPTE DU MILIEU DE TRAVAIL. Ne pas se servir des outils électriques dans des endroits
humides ou mouillés. Les protéger de la pluie. Bien éclairer la surface de travail.

• ÉLOIGNER LES ENFANTS. Tous les visiteurs doivent être tenus à l’écart de l’aire de travail.

• GARDER L’ATELIER À L’ÉPREUVE DES ENFANTS en y installant des cadenas, des interrupteurs
généraux ou en retirant les clés des démarreurs.

• NE JAMAIS FORCER L’OUTIL. Afin d’obtenir un rendement sûr et efficace, utiliser l’outil à son
rendement nominal.

• UTILISER L ’OUTIL APPROPRIÉ. Ne jamais exiger d’un petit outil ou d’un accessoire le rendement
d’un outil de fabrication plus robuste. Se servir de l’outil selon l’usage prévu.

• UTILISER LES CORDONS DE RALLONGE APPROPRIÉS. S’assurer que le cordon de rallonge est
en bon état. Lorsqu’on se sert d’un cordon de rallonge, s’assurer qu’il est de calibre approprié
pour la tension nécessaire au fonctionnement de l’outil. L’utilisation d’un cordon de calibre
inférieur occasionne une baisse de tension entraînant une perte de puissance et la surchauffe.
Le tableau suivant indique le calibre approprié selon la longueur du cordon et les mentions de
la plaque signalétique de l’outil. En cas de doute, utiliser un cordon de calibre supérieur. Le
chiffre indiquant le calibre est inversement proportionnel au calibre du cordon.

• PORTER DES VÊTEMENTS APPROPRIÉS. Éviter de porter des vêtements amples, des gants, des
cravates, des bagues, des bracelets ou tout autre bijou qui peuvent être happés par les pièces
en mouvement. Il est conseillé de porter des chaussure à semelle antidérapante. Protéger la
chevelure si elle est longue.

• TOUJOURS PORTER DES LUNETTES DE SÉCURITÉ. Porter également un masque respiratoire si
le travail de coupe produit de la poussière. Les lentilles des verres correcteurs résistent seulement
aux chocs; ce ne sont pas des lunettes de sécurité.

• NE P AS DÉPASSER SA PORTÉE. Toujours demeurer dans une position stable et garder son équili-
bre.

• PRENDRE SOIN DES OUTILS. Conserver les outils propres et affûtés pour qu’ils donnent un ren­dement supérieur et sûr. Suivre les directives concernant la lubrification et le remplacement des
accessoires.

• DÉBRANCHER LES OUTILS avant de les réparer ou d’en changer un accessoire (comme une
lame, un foret ou un couteau).

• ÉVITER LES DÉMARRAGES ACCIDENTELS. S’assurer que l’interrupteur est en position hors ten-
sion (OFF) lorsqu’on branche l’outil.

• UTILISER LES ACCESSOIRES RECOMMANDÉS. Consulter le guide d’utilisation pour connaître la
liste des accessoires recommandés. L’utilisation d’accessoires inappropriés peut présenter des
risques de blessures.

• NE JAMAIS SE TENIR SUR L’OUTIL. Cela présente des risques de blessures graves si l’outil bas-
cule ou si on touche à la lame par inadvertance.

• VÉRIFIER LES PIÈCES ENDOMMAGÉES. Avant de continuer à utiliser l’outil, il faut vérifier si le
protecteur ou toute autre pièce endommagée remplit bien la fonction pour laquelle il a été prévu.
Vérifier l’alignement et les attaches des pièces mobiles, le degré d’usure des pièces et leur mon­tage, ainsi que tout autre facteur susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil. Faire
réparer ou remplacer tout protecteur ou toute autre pièce endommagée.

• TOUJOURS SURVEILLER L’OUTIL. LE METTRE HORS TENSION. Laisser l’outil seulement lorsqu’il
est complètement immobilisé.

• PIÈCES DE RECHANGE. Lors de l’entretien, utiliser seulement des pièces de rechange identiques.

Mesures de sécurité additionnelles relatives aux scies à onglets mixtes
coulissants

• Porter des lunettes de sécurité.

• Éloigner les mains du tracé de la lame. NE JAMAIS COUPER UNE PIÈCE AVEC UNE MAIN À

MOINS DE 152 mm (6 po) DE LA LAME.

• Ne pas se servir de la scie sans les protecteurs en place.

• Ne faire aucune manœuvre à main levée.

• Ne jamais placer les mains derrière la lame de la scie.

• Mettre l’outil hors tension et attendre l’immobilisation complète de la lame avant de déplacer la
pièce à ouvrer ou de modifier les réglages.

• Débrancher l’outil avant d’en remplacer la lame ou d’en faire l’entretien.

• Régler la lame seulement lorsque l’outil est hors tension et que la lame est immobile.

• Ne jamais utiliser la scie sans la plaque rainurée.

• Remplacer la plaque lorsque la largeur de la rainure dépasse 3 mm (1/8 po).

• Afin de réduire les risques de blessures, remonter la scie en position arrière complète après
chaque coupe en travers.
MISE EN GARDE : LE NON-RESPECT DES PRÉSENTS AVERTISSEMENTS PEUT PRÉSENTER DES
RISQUES DE BLESSURES ET DE DOMMAGES IMPORTANTS.

• PROTÉGER le circuit électrique avec un fusible à action différée ou un disjoncteur d’au moins
15 ampères.

• S’ASSURER que la lame tourne dans le bon sens et que les dents du bas de la lame pointent
vers l’arrière de la scie à onglets mixtes coulissants.

• SE SERVIR des stabilisateurs en tout temps.

• VÉRIFIER si tous les boutons et les poignées de serrage sont bien fixés avant de commencer à
se servir de la scie.

• S’ASSURER que les rondelles de la lame et de l’arbre sont propres et que le côté en retrait des
collets repose contre la lame. Bien serrer la vis de l’arbre.

• VEILLER à ce que la lame soit bien affûtée et réglée.

• S’ASSURER que les orifices d’aération du moteur sont propres et libres de copeaux.

• UTILISER en tout temps les protecteurs de la lame.

• ÉLOIGNER les mains du tracé de la lame.

• METTRE la scie hors tension, débrancher le cordon d’alimentation et attendre l’immobilisation
complète de la lame avant d’entretenir ou de régler l’outil.

• SOUTENIR les grandes pièces à découper à l’aide de chevalets ou d’un établi.

• NE PAS essayer de faire fonctionner l’outil à une tension autre que la tension nominale.

• NE PAS faire fonctionner la scie à onglets si les boutons de serrage ne sont pas bien fixés.

• NE PAS utiliser de lame dont le diamètre est inférieur ou supérieur à celui recommandé.

• NE RIEN coincer dans le ventilateur pour soutenir l’arbre du moteur.

• NE PAS forcer la coupe. (Le blocage partiel ou complet du moteur peut causer des dommages
irrémédiables. Laisser le moteur atteindre son régime nominal avant de commencer à couper.)

• NE PAS couper des métaux ferreux (ceux qui renferment du fer ou de l’acier) ni de la maçon-
nerie.
