Electrical
Extens ion Cords
Power Supply and Motor
Specifications
The AC motor used in this saw is a universal,
nonreversible type (see Motor in the Specifica-
tions section on page 7).
To avoid electrical hazards,
fire hazards, or damage to the machine, use
proper circuit protection. Your saw is wired
at the facto ry for 120V operati on. Conn ect to
a 120V, 15 Amp circui t and use a 15 amp time
delay fuse o r circu it breaker. If power co rd is
worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have i t
replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire.
Electrical Requirements
This machine is double insulated to provide a
double thickness of insulation between the user
and the machine's electrical system. A ll exposed
metal part s are isolat ed from the inter nal metal
motor component s with pr otective insulati on.
This saw has a plug that looks like the one
shown in Figure A.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your m achine will dr aw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in the line voltage
resulting in power loss and overheating. The
table below shows the correct size to use
depending on the cord length and nameplate
ampere rati ng. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Cord Length AWG
00 – 25ft 016
25 – 50ft 014
Important: Make certain the receptacle in
question is properly grounded. If you are not
sure, have a registered electrician check the
receptacle.
Figure A
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 pl ug. If it still does not fit , contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug i n any way.
Double insulation does not take the place of
normal safety precautions when operating this
tool.
To avoid electroc ution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when
servicing a tool with double insulation.
Servicing shoul d be per formed by a qualified
technician.
2. Do not use power tools in wet or damp
locations or expose them to rain or snow.

Repetitive Cutting
Note: Long workpieces need extension table
support.
Referring to Fi gur e 20:
Loosen the knob (E) then sli de the extension wing
(D) to desired position and tighten the knob.
The stop plate (C) is designed for use during
repetitiv e cutting. Sim ply r otate the stop plate (C) to
vertic al posi tion.
Auxiliary Wood Fence
Referring to Fi gur e 21:
When making repetitive cuts that produce cut-off
pieces of one i nch or less, i t i s possi ble f or t he saw
blade to catc h 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, construct an auxiliary wood fence (A) to be
mounted to y our saw which will provide additional
depth of cut. Mounting holes are provided on the
saw fence (B) for this purpose.
1. Construct the auxiliary wood fence (A) of a
single, straight piece of wood approximately 3/4
in. thick by 1-1/2 in. high by 22 in. long.
2. Attach the wood fenc e (A) securely to the saw
fence (B)
3. Make a full depth cut t o creat e a blade slot (C).
Check for interf erence between the wood f ence
and the lower blade guard.

4. Make adjustment if necessary.
Note: Adding a 3/ 4" thick auxiliary wood f ence will
also add cutti ng capacity (see Cutting Capacity on
page 7).

Cutting Base Molding
Crown Molding
Base moldings and many other moldings can be
cut on a compound miter saw. The setup of the
saw depends on molding characteristics and
application, as shown. Perform practice cuts on
scrap material to achieve best results:
1. Always make sure m oldings rest firmly against
fence and table. Use hold-down, crown mol ding
vise or C-clamps, whenever possible, and
place tape on the area bei ng clamped to avoid
marks.
2. Reduce spli ntering by taping the cut area prior
to making t he cut. Mark the cut line directly on
the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to an
incorrect blade applic ation and thinnes s of the
material.
Note: Always perform a dry run cut so you can
determine if the operation being attempted is
possible befor e power i s appl ied to the saw.
Your compound mi ter saw is suited for the dif ficult
task of cutting crown mol ding. To fit properly, crown
molding must be compound-mitered with extreme
accuracy. The two surfaces on a piece of crown
molding t hat fit flat against the cei ling and wall are
at angles that, when added together, equal exac tly
90°.
Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the
section that fit s flat against t he ceili ng) of 52°and a
bottom rear angl e (the section that fits flat against
the wall) of 38°.
In order to acc urately cut crown moldi ng for a 90°
inside or outside corner, lay the molding with its
broad back surfac e flat on t he saw table.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for
compound miters, remember that the settings are
interdependent; changing one changes the other,
as well.
Bevel/Miter Settings

Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten.
Replace the brush f or the ot her side in t he same
manner descri bed above.
Note: To rei nstall the same brushes, f irst make
sure the brushes go back i n the way they came
out. This will avoid a break-in period that
reduces motor performance and increases wear.
Do not use the saw without the lower blade
guard. The l ower blade guard is attached t o the
saw for your prot ection. S hould the lower g uard
become damaged, do not use the saw until the
damaged guard has been replaced. Develop a
regular check to make sure the lower guard is
working properly . Clean the lower guard of any
dust or buildup with a damp cloth.
When cleaning the lower
guard, unplug the saw from the power
source receptacle to avoid unexpected
startup.
Do not use solvents on the
guard. They coul d m ake t he pl astic “cl oudy” and
brittle.
Saw Dust
Periodic ally, saw dust will accumulate under t he
work table and base. Thi s could cause difficult y
in the m ovement of the worktable when setti ng
up a miter cut. Frequently blow out or v acuum
up the saw dust.
If blowing saw dust, wear
proper eye protection to keep debris from
entering eyes.
Lubrication
All the motor beari ngs in this tool are lubricated
with a suffi cient amount of hi gh 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 i n illust r ation.
Central pivot of plastic guard: Use light
household oil (sewing machine oil ) on metal-t ometal or m etal-to-plastic guard cont act areas as
required for smooth, quiet operation. Avoid
excessiv e oil, t o whic h saw dust wil l cli ng.
