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 circuit.

This circuit must not be less than 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.

2. If the motor will not 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 t0ol suddenly stalls while

cutting wood, release the trigger
switch, unplug the tool and free

the blade from the wood. The saw
maynow 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
heaw 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, !oWvoltage or inadequate
power supplywiring. 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 isin 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 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 #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 tool 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.

substitute for a table extension or as
an additional support for a workpiece

that is longer or wider than the basic

miter saw table, or to help feed,

support or pull the workpiece.

® Do not use this saw to 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. Keep

hands and fingers out of the "no-
hands zone" area marked on the

saw's table.

® When cutting odd shaped workpieces,

plan your work so it will not bind in the
blade and cause injury. Molding, for

example, must lie flat or be held by
a fixture Orjig that will not let it move

when cut.

® Properly support round material

such as dowel rods or tubing, which
have a tendency to roll when cut,

causing the blade to "bite."

I,_WARNING

To avoid injury, follow all applicable
safety instructions when cutting

non=ferrous metals:
® Use only saw blades specifically

recommended for non-ferrous metal

cutting.

® Do not cut metal workpieces

that must be hand held. Clamp
workpieces securely.

a miter and a bevel cut simultaneously.

1. Loosen the bevel lock handle (1)
and position the cutting head at the
desired bevel position. Lock the
bevel lock handle (1).

2. Loosen the miter handle (2). Press
down the positive stop locking lever
(3) and position the table at the
desired angle. Release the positive
stop locking lever (3) and lock the
miter handle (2).

SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP

TO 12 in. WIDE (FIG. BB)

,_WARNING

To avoid injury:

o Never pull the cutting head

assembly and spinning blade toward
you during the cut. The blade may
try to climb up on the top of the

workpiece, causing the cutting
assembly and spinning blade to kick

back, forcefully. The cutting head
assembly should be drawn back
completely then pushed forward
when sawing.

® Let the blade reach full speed before

cutting. This will help reduce the risk
of a thrown workpiece.

To Slide Cut Wide Boards (Fig. BB)

1. Unlock the carriage lock handle (1)
_and allow the cutting head assembly

to move freely.

2. Set both the desired bevel angle
and/or the miter angle and lock into
position.

3. Use a hold down clamp to secure

the workpiece.

4. Grasp the switch handle (2) and pull

the carriage (3) forward until the

center of the saw blade is over the

front of the workpiece (4).

5. Engage the trigger to turn the saw

on.

6. When the saw reaches full speed,
push the switch handle down, slowly,
cutting through the leading edge of
the workpiece.

7. Slowly move the saw handle back
toward the fence, completing the cut.

8. Release the trigger and allow
the blade to stop spinning before
allowing the cutting head to raise.

CUTTING GROOVES (FIG. CC)

1. Mark lines identifying the width and
depth of the desired cut on the
workpiece and position on the table
so the inside tip of the blade is
positioned on the line. Use a clamp
to secure the workpiece.

2. Lower the cutting head so the tip of
the blade touches the top surface
workpiece at the marked line.

3. While holding the upper arm in
position, turn the stop knob (1) until
it touches the stop plate (2).

4. Cut two parallel grooves as shown
below.

CUTTINGBOWED MATERIAL

(FIG. DD)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned

against the fence and secured with
a clamping devise before cutting as

shown. Do not position workpiece
incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece

without the support of the fence. This
will cause the blade to bind and could

result in personal injury.

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. FF)
When making multiple or repetitive cuts
that result in cut-off pieces of one inch

or less, it is possible for the saw blade
to catch the cut-off piece and throw it

out of the saw or into the blade guard

and housing, possibly causing damage

or injury. To minimize this, an auxiliary

wood fence can be mounted to your

saw.

Fig. DD

WORKPIECE SUPPORT AND
REPETITIVE CUTTING USING THE

STOP PLATE (FIG. EE)

Long pieces need extension table

support.

1. Loosen the knob (1) then slide the
extension table to desired position

and tighten the knob.

2. The stop plate is designed for use
during repetitive cutting. Only use
one stop plate at a time. Loosen the
locking bolt (2), rotate the stop plate
(3) to verticalposition and retighten

the locking bolt.

Fig. EE

Holes are provided in the saw fence
to attach an auxiliary wood fence. This

fence is to be constructed of straight
wood approximately 3/4 in. thick by
2-1/2 in. high by 18 in. long.

Attach the wood fence securely and
make a full depth cut to make a blade

slot.
Check for interference between the

wood fence and the lower blade guard.
Adjust if necessary.

NOTE: This auxiliary fence is used

only with the saw blade in the 0° bevel

position (90° to the table). The auxiliary

wood fence must be removed when

bevel cutting.

CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG. GG)
Base moldings and many other
moldings can be cut on a compound
miter saw. The setup of the saw
depends on molding characteristics

and applications, as shown. Perform
practice cuts on scrap material. To

achieve best results:

1. Alwaysmakesuremoldingsrest

When setting the bevel and miter

that the settings are interdependent -
changing one changes the other, as

well.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
(FIG. HH, II)

Your compound miter saw is suited

for the difficult task of cutting crown
molding. To fit properly, crown molding
must be compound-mitered with
extreme accuracy. The two surfaces
on a piece of crown molding that fit
flat against the ceiling and wall are at
angles that, when added together,
equal exactly 90°.

Most crown molding has a top rear
angle (the section that fits flat against
the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear
angle (the section that fits flat against
the wall) of 38°.

MAINTENANCE

DANGER]

Never put lubricants on the blade

while it is spinning,

[,_WARNJNG ]

® To avoid fire or toxic reaction,

never use gasoline, naphtha
acetone, lacquer thinner or similar

highly volatile solvents to clean

the miter saw.

® To avoid injury from unexpected

starting or electrical shock,
unplug the power cord before

working on the saw.

® For your safety, this saw is double

insulated. To avoid electrical
shock, fire or injury, use only

parts identical to those identified
in the parts list. Reassemble
exactly as the original assembly

to avoid electrical shock.

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES
(FIG. JJ)

Replace both carbon brushes when
either has less than 1/4 in. length of

carbon remaining, or if the spring or

wire is damaged or burned. To inspect

or replace brushes, first unplug the
saw. Then remove the black plastic

cap (1) on the side of the motor (2).
Carefully remove the spring-loaded

cap. Then pull out the brush and
replace. Replace for the other side. To
reassemble, reverse the procedure.

The ears on the metal end of the

assembly go in the same hole the
carbon part fits into. Tighten the cap

snugly, but do not overtighten.
NOTE: When reinstalling the same

brushes, put them back in the way they
came out. This will avoid a break-in

period that reduces motor performance
and increases wear.

LOWER BLADE GUARD
Do not use the saw without the lower

blade guard. The lower blade guard is
attached to the saw for your protection.
Should the lower guard become
damaged, do not use the saw until the
damaged guard has been replaced.
Check regularly to make sure the lower
guard is working properly. Clean the
lower guard of any dust or buildup with
a damp cloth.

_WARNING I

® Do not use solvents on the guard.

They could make the plastic

"cloudy" and brittle.

® When cleaning the lower guard,

unplug the saw from the power
source receptacle to avoid
unexpected start-up.

SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate

under the worktable and base. This
could cause difficultyinthe movement

of the worktable when setting up
a miter cut. Frequently blow out or
vacuum up the sawdust.

_WARNING]

When removing sawdust, wear
proper eye protection to keep debris
from blowing into eyes.
