assembled and ,lstalled according to the instructions.

3. SHOULD any part of your mitre saw be missing.
damaged, or fail in any way, or any electrical

component fall to perforrn properly, shut off the switch
and remove the plug from tile power supply outtel

Replace missing, darnaged, or failed parts before
resuming operation

4. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly famdlar with the
operation of mitre saws, obtain adwce Irom your

supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person.

5. NEVER CARRY the tool by the cord or the cutting
head handle. Damage to the insulation could cause

electric shock. Damage to the w_reconnections could
cause a fire.

6. SERIOUS INJURY could occur if the tool tips over or
you accidentally hit the cutting tool. Do not store

anything above or near the tool.

7. AVOID INJURY from unexpected saw movement.
Place the saw on a firm level surface where the saw

does not rock, and bolt or clamp the saw to its support.

8. BEFORE MOVING the saw. lock the mitre, bevel, and

cutting head positions.

9. CHOOSE the right 8-1/2" diameter blade for the

material and the type of cutting you plan to do. Never
use blades larger or smaller in diameter than

recommended.

10. USE ONLY CROSSCUTTING SAW BLADES. Do not
use blades with deep gullets as they can deflect to

the side and contact the guard.

11. USE only blade collars specified for your saw. The
recessed sides must face the blade.

12. USING THE HEX BLADE WRENCH supplied, make

sure the arbor screw is firmly tightened.

t3. NEVER USE the saw without the cover plate securely

in place, tt keeps the arbor screw from fa!ling out if !t
accidentally loosens, and prevents the spinning blade

from coming off the machine.

14. KEEP HANDS out of the path of the saw blade. If the
workpiece you are cutting would cause your hand to
be within 6-1/2 inches of the saw blade, the workplece

should be clamped in place before makHlg the cut.

15. MAKE SURE the blade and collars are clean and
properly arranged. After installing a new blade, make

sure the blade clears the table slot at the 0° and 45°
bevel positions. Lower the blade tnto [he table slot and

check for any contact with the base or turn table
structure, tf the blade contacts tile table, see the

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE for "depth stop
adjustment" or contact the Sears Service Centre.

Broken saw parts could injure you or others.

16. ALWAYS check the blade for cracks or damage

before operation. Replace a cracked or damaged
blade irnmediately.

17. USE blades recommended at 5000 RPM or greater.

18. ALWAYS keep the blade guards in place.

19. TO KEEP the nut from working its way off as you use
the saw. at teast one thread of the pivot bolt must

always shck out past the nut. Always keep the nut at
least that tight.

20. FAILURE TO TIGHTEN the jam nut could let the depth
stop slip and let the blade strike the saw table.

Broken saw parts could injure you or others.

21. CLEAR EVERYTHING except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table before turning

the mitre saw on.

22. MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are tight and
there is no excessive play in any part.

23. ALWAYS MAKE SURE all handles are tight before
cutting, even if the table is positioned in one of the

positive stops.

24. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in
the part of the workpiece to be cut.

25. MAKE SURE the blade is not contacting the workpiece
before the switch is turned on.

26.

ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the fence and
table. DO NOT perform any operation freehand.

27.

DO NOTTRY TO CUT SHORT PIECES. You cannot
properly support the workpiece and keep your

hold-down hand the required distance from the blade.

28.

ALWAYSTIGHTEN THE CLAMP so that the workpiece
is secured between the clamp and fence or base. No

visible gap should be present between saw and wood.

29. NEVER cut metals or masonry. Because of the
sliding action of the saw, this machine is not designed
for cutting metals. Use this mitre saw to cut only wood

and woodlike products. Other materials may shatter,
bind on the blade, start fires or create other dangers.

30. NEVER reach around the saw blade.

31. TO AVOID POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY of

damage to the miter saw due to tipping, do not
operate the saw without the support bracket
securely in position.

32. NEVER PULLTHE SAW toward you during a cut.
The blade can suddenly climb Lip on top of the

workpiece and force itself toward you.

33. ALLOW the motor to come up to full speed before
starhng CLIt.

34.

KEEP the motor air slots clean and free of chips.

35.

NEVER apply lubricants to the blade when it is
running.

36.

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.

37. NEVER use the mitre saw in an area with flammable
liquids or gases.

38. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents

could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the
material.

39. ALWAYS PERFORM DRY RUNS. Make sure the saw

Jsunplugged. Completely set up your saw. Pull the
blade and cutting head through the full range of motion

to check for interference. The clamp can be used in
a left or right configuration. Make sure that your blade,

saw guard or motor does not interfere with the clamp.
Correct any interference before use.

40. PLAN HOW YOU WILL MAKE THE CUT:
MAKE SURE the blade is not spinning.

RAISE the blade.

• SLIDE the saw out above the front edge of the
workpiece before starting the saw.

• PUSH the saw blade down on top of the wood and
back toward the rear of the saw to make the cut_

BE

FORE EACH USE

41.

INSPECT YOUR MITRE SAW.

42.

D!SCONNECTTHE MITRE SAW. To avoid injury from

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

Compare the direction of the rotation arrow on the
guard to the direchon 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.

43.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for:

PROPER alignment of moving parts

DAMAGED electric cords

-_ BINDING of moving parts

o BROKEN parts
, STABLE mounting

FUNCTION of arm return spring and lower guard:
Push the arrn all iEheway down, then let it rise

up until it stops by itself. Check the lower guard

to see it it closed fully_ If it did not, follow the

insiEructionsin the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.
o SMOOTH, solid movement ot:sliding assembly.
o OTHER conditions that may affect the way the

mitre saw works. II any part of the m_tre _s

rniss_ng, bent, or broken in any way, or any

electrical parts don't work, turn the saw o1:1and

unplug it. REPLACE damaged, missing, or faded

parts before using the saw again.

44.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE, in working order, and in
proper adjustment. Maintain tools with care.

Keep the mitre saw clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubncahng.

DON'T put lubricants on the blade wh!le it's spinning

45.

REMOVE adjushng keys and wrenches from the tool
before turning it on.

46.

TO AVOID INJURY FROM JAMS, SLIPS, OR
THROWN PIECES:
o USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult this Owner's Manuat for recommended
accessories. Follow the instructions that come

with the accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

° MAKE SURE the blade is sharp, undamaged,

properly aligned and free of vibration. With the
saw unplugged, push the cutting head all the way

down. Hand spin the blade and check for
clearance. Tilt the cutting head to a 45 degree

bevel and repeat the check. If the blade hits
anything, see the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

for "depth stop adjustment", or contact your
Sears Service Centre.

47. PLAN HOW you will hold the workpiece from start
to finish:

o AVOID awkward operations and hand positions

where a sudden slip could cause fingers or

hand to move into the blade.

o DON'T OVERREACH. Keep good footing and

balance.
KEEP your face and body to one side of the

saw blade, out of line with a possible throwback.

o NEVER CUT FREEHAND:

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

- MAKE SURE there is no debris between the
workpiece and its supports,

- MAKE SURE no gaps between the workpiece,
fence and table will let the workpiece sh_ft after

it is cut in two,

"- CUT only one workpiece at a time.

KEEP the cut off piece free to move sideways
after it is cut off. Otherwise it could get wedged

against the blade and be thrown violently.

48. USE EXTRA CAUTION with large, very small or
awkward workpieces:

o USE extra supports (tables. saw horses, blocks,

etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip
when not held down to tile table top.

o NEVER use anoiher person as a substitute for a

table extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic
m_tre saw table, or io help feecl, support or pull

the workpiece.

o DO NOT USE this saw to cut pieces too small to

let you easily hold the work.

* WHEN CUTTING irregularly shaped workpieces,

plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the
blade and be torn from your hands. A piece of

molding, for example, must lie flat or be held by

a fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip
while being cut.

o PROPERLY SUPPORT round material such as

dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to

roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite".

To avoid this, always use a fixture designed to
properly hold your workpiece.

WHEN THE SAW IS RUNNmNG

49. BEFORE STARTmNG your cut, watch the mitre saw
while it runs. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or

vibrates a lot, stop immedJately. Turn the saw OFR

Unplug the saw. Do not restart unbl finding and

correcting the problem.

50. KEEP CHBLDREN AWAY. Keep a!l visitors a safe
distance from the mitre saw. Make sure bystanders

are clear of the mitre saw and workpiece.

51. LETTHE BLADE reach full speed before cutting.

This will help avoid thrown workpieces.

52. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. tt will do the job better

and safer at its designed rate. Feed the saw into the
workpiece only fast enough to let the blade cut without

bogging down or binding.

53. BEFORE FREEING JAMMED MATERIAL:
, TURN mitre saw OFF by releasing trigger switch.

WAmTfor all moving parts to stop.

• UNPLUG the mitre saw.

54. AFTER FINISHmNGA CUT:
o KEEP holding the cutting head down.

RELEASE the switch, keeping the cutting head
down, and walt for all moving parts to stop before

moving your hands.

o iF BLADE doesn't stop within 6 seconds, unplug

the saw and foltow ihe instructions in the
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE for iixlng the blade

brake before using the saw again.

55. BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW:
NEVER LEAVE the tool runnnlg unattended.

Turn Ihe power OFR WaR for all moving parts
to stop.

o iWAKE WORKSHOP child proof. Lock the shol:_

Disconnect master swdches. Store the tool away

from childron and others not quahfied [o use the

ELECTRICAL REQU RE[v E .

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR

SPECiFiCATiONS

The AC motor used in this saw is a universal, nonreverspble
type. See "MOTOR" in the PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

section on page 2.

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage [o lhe

tool, use proper circuit protection. Your saw iswired at the
factory [or 120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15Amp

circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circLntbreaker.
To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or

damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

DOUBLE _NSULATED
The mitre saw is double insulated to provide a double

thickness of insulabon between you and the tool's electncal
system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the

internal metal motor components with protecbng 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, _hissaw has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). _hls

plug will Ii[ m a polarized ouile[ only one way. II the plug
does no! fit [u!ly Jn Ihe outlet, reverse the piug. it Rstill

does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to mslall the
proper outleL Do not chan.ge the plug in any way.

Double insulation does not take the place ol normal safety

precautions when operabng [!_istooi.

To avoid electrocution:

i. Use only identical repiacement parts when serwcmg a

toot with double insulation. Servicing should be
pel!ormecl by a qualit:iedtechnician.

2. Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or
expose them to rain.

This !ool is intended for indoor use only.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

IMPORTANT: -Foavoid motor damage, l.his motor

should be blown out or vacLIumed frequently to keel)
sawdust from interfering with normal motor ventilation.

.

CONNECT [his tool to a 120V, 15 Amp branch arcuit

with a 15 Amp [!me delay fuse or cwcuit breaker.

Using the wrong size fuse can damage the motor.

.

tF the motor won't start, release the trigger switch
immediately. UNPLUG TIdETOOL. Check the saw
blade to make sure it turns freely. !i:the blade is free.

try to start the motor again. If the motor still does not
start, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING GU_'DE.

.

IF [he motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood.
release the [rigger switch, unplug the too!, and free

the blade from [he wood. The saw may now be

restarted and the cut finished.

4.

FUSES may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip

frequen!ly it:
a. MOTOR is overloaded. Overloading can occur il:

you feed [oo rapidly or make [oo many start /
stops in a short brae.

b. LINE VOLTAGE is more than 10% above or

below the nameplate voltage. For heavy loads,
however, the voltage at motor terminals must

equal the voltage specified on the nameplate.

c. iMPROPER or dutl saw blades are used.

5.

MOST motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload, iow voltage (such as

small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long

supply circuit wire. Always check iEheconnechons, the
load and [he supply clrcufl if the motor doesn't work

well. Check wire sizes and teng[lq with the Extension
Cord Chnr[ below.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENS_OI1 CORDS

USE PROPER EXi'E_\_S_ON CORDL Make sure yOLW
extension cord is in good condibon. When using an

extension cord, be sure [o use one heavy enough to carry

the current your procluc[ will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in !ine voltage, resulting in loss of power and
cause ovedqeating. The table below shows the correci size

to use depending on cord length end nameplate ampere

rahng. I1:in cloubt, use tlqe next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier _he cord.

Be s_._reyour extension cord is properly wired and m
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
tqea[ and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This cwcuit
must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected
with a !5 Amp time lag fuse. Before connechng the motor

to the power line, make sure the switch is m the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the

current stamped on the motor nameptaie. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
