POWER TOOL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your power tool.
! WARNING
To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug the tool in until you have read and understood the following.
1.READ and become familiar
with the entire Operator’s Manual. LEARN the tool’s application, limitations and possible
hazards.
2.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.
4.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5.DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lit.
6.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and bystanders should be kept a safe distance from work area.
7.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
8.DO 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.
5 
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 vice 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.
16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging the tool in.
17.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this Operator’s Manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to yourself or others.
18.NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
19.CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function – check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20.NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER “OFF”. Do not walk away from a running tool until the blade comes to a complete stop and the tool is unplugged from the power source.
21.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. NEVER reach across the path of the cutting blade while tool is in operation.
6 
22. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
23. DO NOT use power tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
24. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or medicationn that could affect your ability to use the tool properly.
25. WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health. Always operate saw in well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal.
People with electronic
devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

COMPOUND MITER SAW SAFETY
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS COMPOUND MITER SAW
1.DO NOT operate the miter saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to these instructions.
2.IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of miter saws, seek guidance from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.
3.ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the fence and table. DO NOT perform any operation free hand (use clamp wherever possible).
4.KEEP HANDS out of the path of the saw blade. If the workpiece you are cutting would cause your hands to be within 7.5 in. of the
saw blade, the workpiece should be clamped in place before making the cut.
5.BE SURE the blade is sharp, runs freely and is free of vibration.
6.ALLOW the motor to come up to full speed before starting a cut.
7.KEEP THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS CLEAN and free of chips or dust.
8.ALWAYS MAKE SURE all handles are tight before cutting, even if the table is positioned in one of the positive stops.
9.BE SURE both the blade and the collar are clean and the arbor bolt is tightened securely.
10.USE only blade collars specified for your saw.
11.NEVER use blades larger in diameter than 10 inches.
12.NEVER apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
13.ALWAYS check the blade for cracks or damage before operation. Replace a cracked or damaged blade immediately.
14.NEVER use blades recommended for operation at less than 4800 RPM.
15.ALWAYS keep the blade guards in place and use at all times.
16.NEVER reach around the saw blade.
17.MAKE SURE the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned ON.
18.IMPORTANT: After completing the cut, release the trigger and wait for the blade to stop before returning the saw to the raised position.
19.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.
20.NEVER cut metals or masonry products with this tool. This miter saw is designed for use on wood and wood-like products.
8 
21.NEVER cut small pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within 7.5 in. of the saw blade the workpiece is too small.
22.PROVIDE adequate support to the sides of the saw table for long work pieces.
23.NEVER use the miter saw in an area with flammable liquids or gases.
24.NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
25.SHUT OFF the power before servicing or adjusting the tool.
26.DISCONNECT the saw from the power source and clean the machine when finished using.
27.MAKE SURE the work area is clean before leaving the machine.
28.SHOULD any part of your miter saw be missing, damaged, or fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform properly, lock the switch and remove the plug from the power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged, or failed parts before resuming operation.
29.Because of the downward cutting motion, your safety requires that you stay very alert to keeping hands and fingers away from the path that the blade travels.
30.Be sure all guards are in place and working. If a guard seems slow
to return to its normal position or “hangs-up”, adjust or repair it
immediately. Be alert at all times - especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into carelessness due to a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving. Clean the lower guard frequently to help visibility and movement. Unplug before adjustment or cleaning.
31.Abrasive cut-off wheels should not be used on miter saws. Miter saw guards are not appropriate for abrasive cut-off wheels.
32.To avoid loss of control or placing hands in the path of the blade, hold or clamp all material securely against the fence when cutting. Do not perform operations freehand.
33.Support long material at the same height as the saw table.
34.After completing a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop, then raise the saw blade from the workpiece.
35.Lock the miter saw head in the down position during transport or when not in use.
36.DRY RUN - It is important to know where the blade will intersect with the workpiece during cutting operations. Always perform a
simulated cutting sequence with the power tool switched OFF to gain an understanding of the projected path of the saw blade. At some extreme angles, the right or left side fence might have to be removed to ensure proper clearance prior to making a cut.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLYAND 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, 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,
15 A circuit and use a 15 A 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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS – DOUBLE INSULATED
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.
! 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.If 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.

!WARNING
●To avoid the risk of personal injury, do not modify this power tool or use accessories not recommended by Sears.
●Read warnings and conditions on your CARBIDE TIPPED SAW BLADE. Do not operate the saw without the proper saw blade guard in place. Carbide is a very hard but brittle material. Care should be taken while mounting, using, and storing carbide tipped blades to prevent accidental damage. Slight shocks, such as striking the tip while handling, can seriously damage the blade. Foreign objects in the workpiece, such as wire or nails, can also cause tips to crack or break off. Before using,
always visually examine the blade and tips for bent blade, cracks, breakage, missing or loose tips, or other damage. Do not use if damage is suspected. Failure to heed safety instructions and warnings can result in serious bodily injury.
BLADE INFORMATION
●Always use a crosscut blade that is designed for cutting across the wood grain. NEVER use Rip, Combination, Plywood, Dado or Abrasive type saw blades at any time
●Always use a 10 in. diameter blade with either a 5/8” arbor hole, speed rating must be at least 4800 RPM.
●Read and understand all instructions provided with each blade before using on this miter saw.
There are two main materials used for saw blades; high-speed steel (HSS) and carbide tipped (TCT). While the HSS blades are generally less expensive than carbide tipped, TCT blades will stay sharper longer than HSS. As a general rule the more teeth per inch (TPI) the smoother the cut. Please read the information provided on the blade for more details for their use.
General Purpose Wood Cutting: 24 - 40 TPI Fine Woodworking Cutting: 60 - 80 TPI Non-ferrous Metal Cutting:
Use only special blades designed for cutting this type of material.
Plastic Cutting:
Use only special blades designed for cutting plastic.
NOTE: When cutting non-ferrous or plastic, be sure to clean up completely after each use. Take special care with metal shavings after each cut, these can cause damage to the table top. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

EYE PROTECTION – Googles or spectacles intended to protect your eyes. Eye protection should meet the requirements of ANSI Z.87.1 (USA) or CSA Z94.3-M88 (Canada).
FACE SHIELD – An impact resistant shield that helps to protect your face from chips, sparks, small debris.
Should only be used in conjunction with additional eye protection.
FENCE – Helps to keep the workpiece from moving when sawing. Scaled to assist with accurate cutting.
GUARD – Protective devise that forms a barrier between a hazardous object such as a blade, wheel or cutter and the operator.
HOLD-DOWN LATCH – Locks the miter saw in the lowered position for compact storage and transportation.
INSTRUCTION OR OPERATOR’S MANUAL – Booklet accompanying your power tool that describes the hazards and safe operation procedures, outlines basic tool operation, care and maintenance.
MITER HANDLE – Used to rotate the table, and to rotate the saw to a right or left cutting position.
MITER SCALE – Measures the miter angle of the saw blade. Positive stop index points have been provided at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° right and left.
MOUNTING HOLES – To mount the miter saw to a stable surface.
ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH – To start the tool, squeeze the trigger. Release the trigger to turn off the miter saw.

POSITIVE STOP LOCKING LEVER –
Locks the miter saw at a preset positive stop for the desired miter angle.
SWITCH HANDLE – The switch handle contains the trigger switch and the laser on/off switch. The blade is lowered into the workpiece by pushing down on the handle. The saw will return to its upright position when the handle is released.
WARNING LABELS – Read and understand for your own safety. Make sure all labels are present on machine and legible.
BLADE WRENCH STORAGE –
Convenient storage to prevent misplacing the blade wrench.
WOODWORKING TERMS
ARBOR – The shaft on which a blade is mounted.
BEVEL CUT – An angle cut made through the face of the workpiece.
COMPOUND CUT – An angled cut to both the edge and face of a board, most common use is with crown molding.
CROSS CUT – A cut which runs across the board perpendicular to the grain.
FREEHAND – Performing a cut without using a fence (guide), hold down or other proper device to prevent the workpiece from twisting during the cutting operation.
HEEL – Misalignment of the blade.
KERF – The width of a saw cut, determined by the thickness and set of the blade.
KICKBACK – sudden and unintended movement of the tool or workpiece. It is typically caused by binding or pinching of the workpiece.
MITER CUT – A miter is a type of joint where the two parts to be joined are cut at an angle, and typically the finished joint forms a 90-degree angle. Also commonly spelled “mitre”.
REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPM)
– The number of turns completed by a spinning object in one minute.
SAW BLADE PATH – The area of the workpiece or table top directly in line with the travel of the blade or the part of the workpiece which will be cut.
SET – The distance between two saw blade tips, bent outward in opposite directions to each other. The further apart the tips are, the greater the set.
THIN-KERF BLADE – Thinner than normal blades, remove less material, smaller kerfs (between 0.065 in. and 0.070 in.). Blade thinness also may increase the heat generated while cutting.
WORKPIECE – The wood being cut. The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to as faces, ends and edges.
