2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet 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 outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

1. The compound miter saw will cut any angle from a straight 0° cut to 48° right and left. Turn the locking knob (A) Fig. 13 counterclockwise, depress the lock lever (B), and rotate the table to the desired position.

2. This machine is equipped with positive stops at the 0° cut-off position and at the 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° left and right positions.

3. The center line (C) Fig. 14 on the cursor indicates the actual angle of cut. Each scale line (B) represents 1°. When the center line (C) is moved from one line to the next on the scale, the angle of the cut is changed by 1°.

4. The pointer is provided with two additional lines (D) and (E), Fig. 14. This allows movement of the control arm by exactly 1/2°. For example, assume that the center line (C) is pointing to the 10° mark on the scale, as indicated, and the desired angle of cut is 1/2° to the right. Move the control arm until the right line (E) lines up with the next line on the scale. The angle of cut will then be changed 1/2° to the right. If you change the angle of cut 1/2° to the left, use the left line (D) in the same manner.

ADJUSTING 0°, 33.9°, AND 45° BEVEL POSITIVE STOPS

The bevel adjustment utilizes a sliding plate (A) Fig. 24, pin (B), and bushing (C) design feature that can be adjusted to fine-adjust the bevel angle. The position of the pin within the bushing is adjustable and, when set, determines the bevel angle. To adjust, loosen the pin locking screws, move to desired location, and tighten securely.

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

1. Position the bevel detent plate so that the desired angle (A) Fig. 27 is exposed.

2. Lift the front handle (A) Fig. 28 to disengage the bevel lock.

3. Tilt the cuttinghead left or right as desired until it stops on the plate (A) Fig. 27.

4. To adjust, loosen the pin locking set screw(s) (D) Fig. 29 (shown from the rear), located on the side of the trunnion and rotate the bushing (C) to the desired location. Rotate the left bushing clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the bevel angle. Tighten screw(s) (D) securely.

NOTE: The right bushing adjustment is opposite the left.

Page 14

Fig. 33

Fig. 34

After a period of time, an adjustment of the sliding fit between the cuttinghead arm (B) Fig. 35, and the trunnion (C) may be necessary. To adjust, tighten or loosen the nut (D). Correct adjustment provides a snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the sliding movement of the cuttinghead arm (B) or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.

Fig. 30

Fig. 29

Shown from the rear, Fig. 30 illustrates the sliding plate position and bushing (C) adjustment for 45° left and Fig. 31 illustrates the sliding plate position and bushing (C) adjustment for 45° right.

ADJUSTING SLIDING FIT BETWEEN TRUNNION AND BEVEL BRACKET

After a period of time, it may become necessary to adjust the sliding fit between the trunnion and the bevel bracket by tightening the adjusting nut (C) Fig. 33 at the rear of the tool.

Correct adjustment provides a snug sliding fit between these two parts. This adjustment should not be so tight that it restricts the tilting movement of the trunnion when bevel cutting, or so loose that it affects the accuracy of the saw cut.

ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF CUTTINGHEAD RETURN SPRING

The tension of the cuttinghead return spring has been adjusted at the factory so that the cuttinghead returns to the “up” position after a cut has been made. To re-adjust the spring tension, loosen the nut (A) Fig. 34 and turn the adjusting screw (B) Fig. 34 clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the spring tension. Tighten nut (A) securely.

ADJUSTING LOWER BLADE GUARD

The 36-412 incorporates an moveable lower blade guard (C) Fig. 36, and it also has a secondary blade guard (B) to cover the rear section of the blade. After an extended period of use, the moveable lower blade guard (C) Fig. 36 may not operate smoothly when the cuttinghead is lowered. This can be corrected by adjusting nut (D) until the lower blade guard (C) moves freely.

OVERTIGHTENING THE NUT COULD IMPAIR GUARD MOVEMENT. NOTE: This unit has been designed with an articulating rear guard. Before contacting the workpiece,

the rear guard will rotate upward to expose more of the blade as the cuttinghead is lowered.

DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE BLADE GUARDS. MAKE SURE THAT ALL GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW. MAKE SURE THAT THE FENCES ARE CLEAR OF THE GUARD AND BLADE BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW.

Fig. 37

TYPICAL OPERATIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS

1. Before cutting, make certain that the cutting arm and table area are at their correct settings and firmly locked in place.

2. Before cutting, determine that the workpiece is the right size for the saw.

3. Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp it firmly against the fence.

4. For best results, cut at a slow, even cutting rate.

5. Never attempt freehand cutting (cutting a workpiece that is not held firmly against the fence and table).

Fig. 38

Keep your hands out of the hazard zone while operating the saw. If the size of the workpiece would cause your hand to be inside the table hazard zone (see section “TABLE HAZARD ZONE” SEE FIG.

21), use a clamp to secure the workpiece.

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE

When performing multiple or repetitive cut-off operations that result in small cut-off pieces (one inch or less), the saw blade can catch the cut-off pieces and project them out of the machine or into the blade guard and housing, possibly causing damage and/or injury. In order to limit the possibility of personal injury or blade guard damage, mount an auxiliary wood fence to your saw.

Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence (A) and (B) (Fig. 37). This auxiliary fence is constructed of straight wood approximately 1/2” thick. Both sides A and B should be approximately 5.25" high by 11.5 inches long.

NOTE: The auxiliary fence (A) is used only with the saw blade in the 0° bevel position (90°) to the table. The auxiliary fence must be removed for all bevel cuts (blade tilted).

MAKE SURE THAT THE FENCES ARE CLEAR OF THE GUARD AND BLADE BEFORE OPERATING SAW.

CORRECT

CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL

1. Check the workpiece. If it is bowed, position the workpiece on the table as shown in Fig. 41.

2. When the workpiece is positioned the wrong way (Fig. 42), it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

CUTTING ALUMINUM

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USE THE PROPER BLADE WHEN CUTTING THIS TYPE OF MATERIAL.

Aluminum extrusions (aluminum screens and storm windows) can easily be cut with your miter saw. When cutting aluminum extrusions, or other sections that can be cut with a saw blade and are within the capacity of the machine, position the material so that the blade is cutting through the smallest cross-section, as shown in Fig. 39. The wrong way to cut aluminum angles is illustrated in Fig. 40. Be sure to apply a stick wax (similar to Johnson’s stick wax #140) to the blade before cutting any aluminum stock. This stick wax is available at most industrial mill supply houses. The stick wax provides proper lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to the blade.

NEVER APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE BLADE WHILE THE SAW IS RUNNING.

AUXILIARY FENCE SPACER

This machine is supplied with new design features that increase cutting capacity. The unit can (1) crosscut 4" x 6" dimensional lumber at 0° miter and 0° bevel, (2) miter left and right 45° 4" x 4" dimensional lumber, and (3) bevel right 45° 2" x 8" dimensional lumber with a user provided spacer (A) Fig. 38.

NOTE: The spacer can be made from a 2" x 4" or any other 2" material as shown in Fig. 38.

CONSTRUCTING WORK SUPPORT EXTENSIONS

Fig. 42A

For support when cutting long pieces, construct a work support extension. Fig. 42A illustrates the miter saw mounted on two standard 2 x 4’s (A). Fasten the four mounting legs (two of which are shown at (B) Fig. 42A to the 2 x 4’s, using four screws (not supplied) through the four holes in the mounting legs. The length of the 2 x 4’s (A) can vary, depending on the workpiece.

NOTE: Make sure that the top of the support 2 x 4’s (C) are level with the miter saw table.

This is critical because the distance from the top of the 2 x 4’s (A) to the miter saw table varies from saw to saw. In most cases, standard 2 x 4’s (C) can used. If these are too high, cut them to fit. If the 2 x 4’s are too low, use 2 x 6’s. If these are high, cut them to the correct height.

CUTTING CROWN MOULDING (USING BUILT-IN STOPS)

Crown moulding stops have been built in to the base to aid in holding the workpiece in position while cutting. This new design feature allows cutting crown moulding in either the flat or nested position and utilizes a stop and screw feature that can be quickly adjusted to accommodate several widths of crown moulding. The position of the stops can be adjusted by two methods. To adjust, turn knob (A) Fig. 43 until stop (B) is in the proper position to mount the crown moulding at the selected angle, or, squeeze the ears and depress the stop (A) Fig. 44 to disengage the stop (B) Fig. 43 from the screw. Then move the stop to the desired location and raise the stop until the ears snap in place (B) Fig. 45. Then if necessary turn knob(s) (A) Fig. 45 to fine adjust the stop. A recessed slot (D) Fig. 44 is provided for the user to add pencil markings to establish various quick reference stop positions.

When cutting crown moulding using the crown moulding stops, do not bevel the cut. The crown moulding stop feature is designed to make the cut with the cuttinghead at 90° and with the table rotated 45°.

1. Move the table to the 45° right miter position and lock the table in position. NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly.

2. Place the crown moulding in the "nested" position between the fence and table with the ceiling edge on the base and the wall edge against on the fence, as shown in Fig. 46. Make sure the flats of the molding, (D) Fig. 46, are even with the fence and the table as shown. Make the cut.

NOTE: The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the right side of the blade, as shown

at (A) Fig. 46A. The piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the left side of the blade, as shown at (B) Fig. 46A.

4. To make the matching halves of the inside and outside corners, rotate the table to the 45° left miter position. NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly.

5. Place the crown moulding on the table as described in step 2 and make the cut. In this case, the piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right side of the blade, as shown at (C) Fig. 46B. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left side of the blade, as shown at (D) Fig. 46B.

6. Fig. 46C illustrates the two outside corner pieces; the piece cut at (B) Fig. 46A, and the piece cut at (C) Fig. 46B.

7. Fig. 46D illustrates the two inside corner pieces; the piece cut at (D) Fig. 46B, and the piece cut at (A) Fig. 46A.

CUTTING CROWN MOULDING (FLAT POSITION)

One of the many features of the saw is the ease of cutting crown moulding. The following is an example of cutting both inside and outside corners on 52°/38° wall angle crown moulding.

1. Move the table to the 31.62° right miter position and

lock the table in position. NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly.

2. Tilt the saw blade to the 33.86° left bevel position and

tighten bevel lock handle. NOTE: A triangle indicator is provided on the bevel scale to find this angle quickly.

3. Place the crown moulding on the table with the

CEILING EDGE of the moulding against the fence, and make the cut, as shown in Fig. 47.

NOTE: The piece of crown moulding used for the outside

corner will always be on the right hand side of the blade, as shown at (A) Fig. 47. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left hand side of the blade, as shown at (B) Fig.

47.

4. To make the matching halves of the inside and outside corners, rotate the table to the 31.62° left miter position.

NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle

quickly. The saw blade is already tilted to the 33.86° bevel position from the previous cut.
