WARNING ! ADVERTENCIA

When Installing Or Moving The Miter Saw:

• Before moving the saw, lock the miter, bevel and power head positions. Unplug the power cord.

• To avoid back injury, get help when you need to lift the saw.

• Never carry the tool by the cord or power head switch handle. Damage to insulation could cause an

electric shook. Damage to wire connections could cause a fire. A carry handle is provided.

Avoid Dangerous Environment.

• Use the miter saw in a dry, indoor place protected

from rain,

Keep work area well bighted.

Place the saw so neither the user nor bystanders are

forced to stand in line with the blade. Thrown debris

could injure people in its path.

To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:

Put the miter saw on a firm level surface where there is plenty of room for handling and properly support- ing the workpiece.

Support the miter saw so the table is level and the saw does not rock.

Bolt or clamp the miter saw to itssupport. Never Stand On Tool. Serious injury could occur if

the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutting tool.

Do not store anything above or near the tool where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them.

To avoid injury or death from electrical shock:

• This Tool Is Double Insulated to give you added protection. Double insulation does not take the place

or normal safety precautions when operating this tool. When servicing this double insulated toot, use only identical parts.

• Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the miter saw

Before Each Use:

Inspect your miter saw.

• Disconnect The Miter Saw to avoid injury from

accidental starting before changing the setup, changing the blade or adjusting anything.

• Compare the direction of rotation arrow on the guard to the direction arrow on the blade. The blade teeth

should always point downward at the front of the saw.

• Tighten the arbor screw.

• Tighten the cover plate stop screw.

Check For Damaged Parts. Check for:

Proper alignment of moving parts, Damaged electric cords, Binding of moving parts, Broken parts, Stable mounting, Function of arm return spring and lower guard: Push

the arm all the way down, then let it rise up until it stops by itself. Check the lower guard to see if it

closed fully, If it did not, follow the instructions in the "TroubIe Shooting" section.

• Other conditions that may affect the way the miter saw works.

If any part of this miter saw is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or any electrical parts don't work, turn the

saw off and unplug it. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before using the saw again.

Keep Guards In Place, in working order, and in proper adjustment.

Maintain Tools With Care, Keep the miter saw clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for

lubricating. DON'T put lubricants on the blade while it's spinning.

Remove Adjusting Wrench and return it to proper storage location on tool.

To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:

Use Only Recommended Accessories. (See

"Accessory" section within). Consult this Owner's manual for recommended accessories. Follow the

instructions that come with the accessories, The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to

persons. Choose the right 10-inch diameter blade for the

material and the type of cutting you plan to do. Make sure the btade is sharp, undamaged and prop-

erly aligned. With the saw unplugged, push the power head all the way down. Hand spin the blade and check for clearance. Tilt the power-head to 45 degree bevel and repeat the check.

Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean Make sure the collars' recessed sides are facing the

blade. Using t/4 inch allen wrench supplied, make sure the

arbor cap screw is firmly tightened. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and there is

no excessive play in any earls

• Keep Work Area Clean Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents Floor must not be slippery.

To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the saw

near flammable liquids, vapors or gases. Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.

Know Your Miter Saw. Read and understand the

owner's manuai and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its applications and limitations as well as the specific

potential hazards peculiar to this tool,

To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts, don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the miter saw while any parts are moving.

Avoid Accidental Starting. Make sure switch is "OFF" before plugging 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 ferrous metals (steel, iron and iron based metals). Use this miter saw to cut only wood, wood like products or soft metals like aluminum. Other material may shatter, bind on

the blade, or create other dangers.

CAUTION: When cutting any metals, sparks or hot fragments could cause a fire. To avoid this,

disconnect any dust collecting bag or hose from the miter saw, and remove all traces of

wood dust from inside dust traps in the miter

saw.

Dress For Safety

WEARYOUR

Any power miter saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glass-

es. Safety goggles are available at Sears retain 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 jew-

elry (rings, wrist watches) They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

. Wear nonslip footwear.

• Tie back long hatr.

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using miter

saw for hours at a time.

• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with safety goggles.

Safety Instructions For Miter Saws (Continued)

Inspect your workpiece.

• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut

Plan your work to avoid thrown pieces caused - when the workpiece binds on the blade and is torn from your hands.

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 Keep your face and body to one side of saw blade, out

of line with a possible throwback

Never cut Freehand:

• Cut only one workpiece at a time

• Brace your workpiece solidly against the fence and table top so it will not rock or twist during the cut.

• Make sure there's no debris between the werkpiece

and its supports.

• Make sure no gaps between the workpiece fence

and table wit! let the workpiece shift after it is cut in two

• Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after

it's cut off. Otherwise it could get wedged against the biade and could be thrown violently.

• Clear everything except the workpiece ann related

support devices off the table before turning the miter saw on

• Secure Work. Use clamps or a vpseto help hold the

work when it's practical

Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces:

Use extra supports (tables, saw horses blocks, etc.)

for any workpiece large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.

Never use another person as a substitute fo_ a table extension, or as additiona! support for a workpiece

tnat is longer or wider than the basic miter saw table

Do not use this saw to cut pieces too small to iet you easiIy hold the work. The thumb side of your index (pointer) finger should not be closer to the blade than toe outside edge of the fence

When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the blade anu

be torn from your hands, A piece of molding, for example, must lie fiat or be held by a fixture or jig

that wili not !et it twist, rock or slip while being cut Properly support round material such as dowei rods

.,r tubing. They have a tendency to rol! whie bein9 cuL causing the blade to "bite" To avoid this a!wey_.

_se a fixture designed to properly hold your work oiece

WARNING: If planning to cut aluminum or other

non-ferrous metals: Under adverse conditions,

the blade can grab and throw the workpiece

suddenly and unexpectedly. To avoid injury,

follow all applicable safety instructions, as you

normally would, and:

Use only sawblades specifically recom- mended for non-ferrous metal cutting,

Do not cut metal workpieces that must be hand held. Use auxiliary clamps or other equipment as needed. Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are expe- rienced or under the supervision of an expe- rienced person.

Whenever Saw Is Running:

WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from

frequent use of your miter saw) cause a care-

less mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

Before starting your cut, watch the miter saw while

runs If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediateIy. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do

not restart until finding and correcting the problem

Keep Children Away. Keep all visitors a safe distance from the miter saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of the miter saw and workpiece

Never confine the p_ece being cut off Never hold it, clamp it,touch it, or use length stops against it while the

bIade is spinning. It must be free to move sideways on its own If confined, it could gel wedged against the blade and thrown viotentiy.

Let the blade reach fbll speed before cutting

DOn't Force Tool. It will do the job better and safer at

its designed rate. Feed the saw into the werkpiece only fast enough to tel the blade cut without bogg_ng down or b riding

Before freeing jammed material:

Turn switch 'OFF"

Unp!ug the miter saw Wait for all moving parts to stop

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.

• if blade doesn't stop within 6 seconds, unpiug the saw and follow the instructions in the 'Trouble

Shooting" section for fixing the blade brake before using the saw again

Before Leaving The Saw:

Never Leave Tool Running Unattended. Turn power

off Wait for aii moving parts to stop Make workshop chiid-proof Lock the shop Disconnect

master switches Store tool away from ct_ildren and oth era not qualified to use the tool

Double Insulated

The miter saw is double insulated to provide a double thickness of insuletion between you and the tool's elec- trical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting

insulation.

Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown

below,

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, ff the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does

not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper out_et.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.

Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements (Continued)

DANGER: To avoid electrocution: 1, Use only identical replacement parts when

servicing a tool with double insulation. Servicing should be performed by a qualified

service technician,

2. Do not use in rain or where floor is wet. This tool is intended for indoor residential use

only.

Motor Safety Protection

IMPORTANT: 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-Shooting 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 it:

a. Motor Is Overloaded-Overloading can occur if

you feed too rapidly or make too many start/stops in a short time.

b. Line voltages are more than 10% above or below

the nameplate voltage. For heavy loads, however, the voltage at motor terminals must equal the volt-

age specified on nameplate.

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor rect connections, overload, tow voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long

supply circuit wire. Always check the connections. 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

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used

and is in good condition. 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.
