7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

8. D

O NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will

do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use the one heavy enough to carry the current that the product will draw. An undersized cord will result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool overheat. The table on page 11 shows the proper wire gauge size usage to each extension cord length and ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All

visitors and bystanders should be kept a safe distance from work area.

12. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool can throw foreign

objects into the eyes and could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact– resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety Goggles are available at Sears. NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they break.

13. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing operation produces dust.

14. SECURE WORK. Use

clamps or a vise to hold

work when practical. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE before servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY

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 3.

WARNING

To avoid electrical hazards, ﬁ 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, 15 Amp 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 immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides

a path of least resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not ﬁt the

receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical

cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

CHECK with a qualiﬁed electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.

USE only three-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord

is in good condition. Use an extension cord 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, overheating and burning out of the motor. The table on the right 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.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualiﬁed technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than #12 wire with a 20 Amp time-lag fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 Amp timelag fuse.

10 11

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 motor 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. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1.

Installing Blade (Fig. H, I, J, K)

Unplug the miter saw before changing/ installing the blade.

1. Install a 12 in. blade with a 5/8 in. arbor (or a 1 in. arbor with a 5/8 in. reducer), making sure the rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard and the blade teeth are pointing downward.

2. Place the blade collar (6) against the blade and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (4) onto the arbor in a counter-clockwise direction. (Fig. K)

IMPORTANT: Make sure the ﬂats of

the blade collars are engaged with the ﬂats on the arbor shaft. Also, the ﬂat-side of the collar must be placed against the blade.

3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt.

4. Press the arbor lock (5), holding it in ﬁrmly while turning the blade counter-clockwise. When it engages, continue to press the arbor lock in while tightening the arbor bolt securely. (Fig. J)

5. Rotate the cover plate (3) back to its original position until the slot in the cover plate engages with the cover plate screw (2). While holding the lower blade guard, tighten the screw with a star-head screwdriver. (Fig. H, I) NOTE: The lower blade guard must be raised to the upright position to access the cover plate screw.

6. Lower the blade guard (1), and verify that the operation of the guard does not bind or stick. (Fig. H)

7. Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns freely.

WARNING

● To avoid injury, never use the

saw without the cover plate secured in place.It keeps the arbor bolt from falling out if it accidentally loosens and helps prevent the spinning blade from coming off the saw.

● Make sure the collars are clean

nd properly arranged. Lower the blade into the lower table, and check for any contact with the metal base or the miter table.

● To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the switch is in the off position, and the plug is not connected to the power source.

WARNING

To avoid burns or other ﬁre damage, never use the miter saw near ﬂammable liquids, vapors or gases.

● Plan ahead to protect your eyes,

hands, face and ears.

● Know your miter saw.

Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and labels

afﬁxed to the tool. Learn its application and limitations as well as the potential hazards speciﬁc to this tool. To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts, do not lay out, assemble or set up work on the miter saw.

● Avoid accidental starting. Make sure

the switch is in the OFF position before plugging the miter saw into a power outlet.

PLAN YOUR WORK

Use the right tool. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed to do. Use a different tool for any workpiece that cannot be held in a solidly braced, ﬁxed position.

WARNING

This machine is NOT designed for cutting masonry, masonry products or ferrous metals (steel, iron and iron-based metals.) Use this miter saw to cut only wood and wood by-products. Other materials may shatter, bind the blade or create other dangers. Remove all nails that may be in the workpiece to prevent sparking that could cause a ﬁ

DRESS FOR SAFETY

Any power tool can throw debris into the eyes. This can result in permanent eye

damage. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses and are not safety glasses. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they break.

● Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,

neckties or jewelry (rings, watches). They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

● Wear non-slip footwear.

● Tie back long hair.

● Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

● Noise levels vary widely. To avoid

possible hearing damage, wear hearing protection when using any miter saw.

● For dusty operations, wear a dust

mask along with safety goggles.

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

● Make sure there are no nails or

foreign objects in the part of the workpiece being cut.

● Plan your work to avoid small pieces

that may bind or are too small to clamp and hold securely.

● Plan the way you will grasp the

workpiece from start to ﬁnish. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions. A sudden slip could cause your ﬁngers or hand to move into the blade.

re.

DO NOT OVERREACH

Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face and body to one side, out of the line of a possible kickback. NEVER stand in the line of the blade. NEVER reach your arm or hand across the cutting path of the blade.

Never cut freehand:

● Brace your workpiece ﬁrmly against

the fence and table stop so it will not rock or twist during the cut.

● Make sure there is no debris

between the workpiece and the table or fence.

● Make sure there are no gaps between the workpiece, fence and table that will let the workpiece shift after it is cut.

● Keep the cut piece free to move

sideways after it is cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.

● Only the workpiece should be on

the saw’s table.

● Secure work. Use clamps or a vise

to help hold the work when it is practical.

USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD SHAPED WORKPIECES

● Use extra supports (tables,

sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for workpieces large enough to tip.

● Never use another person as a

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 8-3/25 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 or jig 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.”

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.

● Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are under the supervision of an experienced person and the dust bag has been removed from the saw.

WHEN SAW IS RUNNING

WARNING

Do not allow familiarity from frequent use of your miter saw to result in a careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

Before cutting, if the saw makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the saw OFF. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until

nd and correct the problem.

BODY AND HAND POSITION (FIG. Y)

Never place hands near the cutting area. Proper

positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw will make cutting easier and safer. Keep children away. Keep all visitors at a safe distance from the mi

ter saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece. Do not force the saw. It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.

Starting a cut:

● Place hands at least 8-3/25 in. away

from the path of the blade - out of the “no-hands zone”.

● Hold workpiece firmly against the

fence to prevent movement toward the blade.

● With the power switch OFF, bring

he saw blade down to the workpiece

to see the cutting path of the blade.

● Squeeze trigger switch to start saw.

● Lower blade into workpiece with a

rm downward motion.

Fig. II

Blade slot

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. II)

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 possibility, an auxiliary wood fence can be mounted to your saw.

Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an auxiliary wood fence. This fence should be constructed of straight auxiliary wood.

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 MOULDING (FIG. JJ)

Base mouldings and trims can be cut on a compound miter saw. The method depends on the type of moulding, its characteristics and applications.

1. Use vise clamps, hold-down or C-clamps whenever possible. Place tape on the area being clamped to avoid marking the ﬁnish surface of the moulding.

2. Tape the area being cut to avoid splintering, and mark the cut line on the tape.

3. Perform practice cuts on scrap pieces before cutting the final moulding.

NOTE: Splintering may be caused due to the thinness of the moulding or use of the wrong type of blade.

MAINTENANCE

DANGER



Never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning.

WARNING

● 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 identiﬁ in the parts list. Reassemble exactly as the original assembly to avoid electrical shock.

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. NN)

The carbon brushe (3) that are provided will last approximately 50 hours of running time, or 10,000 ON/ OFF cycles. Replace carbon brushe (3) when it less than 1/4 in. of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned. To inspect or replace brushes, first unplug the saw, and then remove the black plastic cap (1) on the side of the motor (2). Remove the cap carefully, because it is spring-loaded. Then pull out the brush and replace.

To reassemble, reverse the procedure. The ears on the metal end of the assembly go in the same hole in which

the carbon part ﬁts. Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten.

NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure the brushes go back in the way they came out. This will avoid a break-in period.

Fig. NN

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. Before each use, with the saw unplugged, check to make sure the lower guard moves smoothly when the cutting head is raised and lowered. If needed, clean any sawdust buildup with a damp cloth. Check to see if any of the link or pivot points need lubrication. If so, see lubrication instructions on page 41.

CAUTION: Do not use solvents on the guard. They could make the plastic “cloudy” and brittle.

40 41

WARNING

When cleaning the lower guard, unplug the saw from the power source receptacle to avoid unexpected start-up.

LUBRICATION (FIG. OO)

All of the motor bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufﬁcient amount of high-grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

Lubricate the following as necessary: Chop pivot: Apply light machine oil to

points indicated in illustration. Central pivot of lower blade guard:

Use light household oil (sewing machine oil) on metal-to-metal or metal-to-plastic guard contact areas as required for smooth, quiet operation. Avoid excessive oil, because sawdust will cling to it.

Link: (actuates the lower guard movement) may be oiled at the rear pivot, greased at ball bearing contact, and oiled where the link actuates the acetyl roller of the lower guard, if the downward chop motion is hard to start.
