2.DO NOT operate the miter saw until it is completely a^embled and installed according to these instructions.
3.IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of miter saws, seek guidance from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person,
4.ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the fence and table. DO NOT perform any operation freehand (use clamp wherever possible).
5.KEEP HANDS out of the path of the saw blade, if the workpiece you are cutting would cause your
hands to be within 7-1 /2 in. of the saw blade, the workpiece should be clamped in place before making the cut.
6.MAKE SURE the blade is sharp, runs freely and is free of vibration,
7.ALLOW the motor to come up to full speed before starting a cut.
8.KEEP THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS CLEAN and free of chips or dust,
9.ALWAYS MAKE SURE all handles are tight before cutting, even if the table is positioned in one of the positive slops.
10.MAKE SURE both the blade and the collar are clean and the arbor bolt is tightened securely.
11. USE only blade collars specified for your saw.
12.NEVER use blades larger than 10 in, in diameter,
13.NEVER apply lubricants to the blade when the saw is running,
14. ALWAYS check the blade for cracks or damage before operation. Replace a cracked or damaged blade immediately,
15.NEVER use blades recommended for operation at less than 4800 rpm,
16.ALWAYS keep the blade guards in place and use at all times.
17.NEVER reach around the saw blade.
18 MAKE SURE the blade is not in contact with the workpiece before the switch is turned ON.
19, IMPORTANT: After completing a cut, release the trigger switch and wait for the blade to stop before returning the saw to the raised position,
20, MAKE SURE the blade has come to a complete stop before removing or securing the workpiece, changing the workpiece angle or changing the angle of the blade.
21, NEVER cut metals or masonry products with this tool. This miter saw is designed for use on wood and wood-like products.
22, NEVER cut small pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within 7-1/2 in. of the saw blade, the workpiece is too small.
23, PROVIDE adequate support to the sides of the saw table for long workpieces.
24, NEVER use the miter saw in areas with flammable liquids or gases.
25, NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

ELECTRIGAL REQUiREMENTS
A WARNING
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
The AC motor used in this saw is a universal, nonreversible type. See “MOTOR” in the “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section on page 2.
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Your saw is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V circuit. This drcuit must not be less than a #12 wire with a 20 A time-lag fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time-lag fuse. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS - cofit’d
DOUBLE INSULATED B
The power tool is double insulated to provide a double thickness of insulation between you and tool’s electrical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from
the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
Replacement parts - When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Polarized plugs - This saw has a plug that looks like the one shown below:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this saw 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 in 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.
A WARNING
Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool.
To avoid electrocution:
1.Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a tool with double Insulation. Servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.
2.Do not use power tools in wet or damp locations or expose them to rain or snow.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
IMPORTANT:
To avoid motor damage, the motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from interfering with the motor ventilation.
1. CONNECT this saw to a 120 V, 15 A circuit with a 15 A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using the wrong size fuse can damage the motor,
2.It the motor won’t start, release the trigger switch immediately, UNPLUG THE SAW, Check the saw blade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is free, try to start the saw again. If the motor still does not start, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.
3.If the tool suddenly stalls while cutting wood, release the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and free the blade from the wood. The saw may now be started and the cut finished.
4.FUSES may “blow" or circuit breakers may trip frequently if:
a.MOTOR is overloaded - overloading can occur if you feed too rapidly or make too many start/stops in a short time.
b.LINE VOLTAGE is more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage rating. For heavy loads, the voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage specified on the nameplate.
c.IMPROPER or dull saw blades are used.
5, Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overload, low voltage or inadequate power supply wiring. Always check the connections, the load and supply circuit if the motor doesn't run well. Check minimum gauge for the length of cord you are using on the chart below.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Use a 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 cause overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire with a 20 A time-lag fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time-lag fuse. NOTE: When using an extension cord on a circuit with a # 14 wire, the extension cord must not exceed 25 feet in length. Before connecting the too! to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate, running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
