parts, don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the
slide compound miter saw while any parts are moving.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is
"OFF" before plugging slide compound miter saw into a
power outlet.
Plan your work.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment
to do a job it was not designed to do. Use a different
tool for any workpiece that can't be held in a solidly
braced, fixed position.
CAUTION: This machine is not designed for
cutting metals. Use this slide compound miter
saw to cut only wood, and wood like products.
Other materials may shatter, bind on the blade,
start fires or create other dangers.
Dress for safety. WEARYOUR
Any power slide compound miter saw can throw foreign
objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent eye
damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply
with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday eye-
glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not
safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at Sears
retail catalog stores, Glasses or goggles not in compliance
with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they
break.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wrist watches) They can get caught
and draw you into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• lqe back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using slide
compound miter saw for hours at a time.
• For dusty operations wear a dust mask along with
the safety goggles.
Inspect your workpieee.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be cut.
Plan your work to avoid the spinning blade and
keep the workpiece from binding on the blade and
flying out of your hands:
Plan how you will make the cut. Always:
• Make sure the blade is not spinning.
• Raise the blade.
• Slide the saw out above the front edge of the work-
piece before starting it, and
• Push the saw blade down on top of the wood and
then away from you to make the cut.
during a cut. The blade can suddenly climb up
on top of the workpiece and force itself
I DANGER: NEVER pull the saw toward you
toward you.
Never cut FREEHAND:
• Brace your workpiece solidly against the fence and
table top so ,t will not rock or twist during the cut
• Make sure there's no debris between the work
piece and its supports
• Make sure no gaps between the workpiece fence
and table wilr let the workpiece shill after it is cut _n

• Never cut more than one workppece at a time
• Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after
it's cut off Otherwise. it could get wedged against
the blade and thrown violently
• Clear everything except the workpiece and related
support devices off t,_e table before turning the
slide compound miter saw on
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to help
hold the work when irs practical
Use extra caution with large, very small or awk-
ward workpieces:
• Use extra supports (tables saw horses, blocks.

WHENEVER SAW BLADE IS SPINNING.
WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your slide compound miter
saw) cause a careless mistake. A careless
fraction of a second is enough to cause
a severe injury.
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to
finish:
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into
the blade.
DON'T OVERREACH. Keep good footing and balance.
Never reach behind or beneath the saw blade.
Keep your face and body to one side, out of line with a
possible throwback.
Before starting your cut watch the slide compuur'o
miter saw whiie it runs If it makes an unfarnil,at no_se
or vibrates a lot, stop _mmediately Turn the slide com-
pound miter saw off. Unplug the shde compound m_,
saw. Do not restart until finding and correcting the p_c_'
lem.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe dis-
tance from the slide compound miter saw. Make sure
bystanders are clear of the slide compound miter saw
and workp_ece

Never confine the piece being cut off. Never hold it,
clamp it, touch it, or use length stops against it while the
blade is spinning, tt must be free to move sideways on
its own. If confined, it could get wedged against the
blade and thrown violently.
Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer
at its designed rate. Feed the blade into the workpiece
only fast enough to let it cut without bogging down or
binding.
Before freeing any jammed material:
• Turn switch "OFF"
• Unplug the slide compound miter saw.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
glossary of terms for woodworking
After finishing a cut:
• Keep holding the power head down,
• Release the switch, and wait for all moving parts to
stop before moving your hands.

WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire haz-
ards, or damage, or damage to the tool, use
proper circuit protection. Your saw is wired at
the factory for 120v operation. Connect to a
f20v, 15-amp branch circuit and use a 15-amp
time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid
shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or
damaged in any way, have it replaced immedi-
ately.
DOUBLE INSULATED
The slide compound miter saw is intended for residen-
tian use only. It is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insulation between you and the tool's
electrical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with pro-
tecting insulation.
Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown
below..
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way, f the p ug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
WARNING: Double insulation does not take the
place of normal safety precautions when operat-
ing this tool.
DANGER: To avoid electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when
servicing a tool with double insulation. Ser-
vicing should be performed by a qualified ser-
vice technician.
2. Do not use in rain or where floor is wet. This
tool is intended for indoor residual use only.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
CAUTION: To avoid motor damage, this motor
should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to
keep sawdust from interfering with normal
motor ventilation.
1. Connect this tool to a 120V, 15-amp branch circuit
with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Using the wrong size fuse can damage the motor.
2. If the motor won't start, release the trigger switch
immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL Check the saw
blade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is
free, try to start the motor again. If the motor still
does not start, refer to the "Motor Trouble-Shoot-
mg Chart."
3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood,
release the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and
free the blade from the wood. The motor may now
be restarted and the cut finished.
4. Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip fre-
quently if:
a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED--Overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or make too many
start/stops in a short time.
b. Voltages net more than 10% above or below
the nameplate voltage can handle normal
loads. For heavy loads, however, the voltage at
motor terminals must equal the voltage speci-
fied on nameplate.
5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload, low voltage (such
as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly
tong supply circuit wire. Always check the connec-
tions, the load and the supply circuit whenever
motor doesn't work well. Check wire sizes and
length with the Wire Size Chart below,
WIRE SIZES
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension
cord.
6
For circuits that are farther than 100 feet away from
electrical service box, the wire size must be increased
proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the
saw motor,
