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 isolated f rom the internal 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 machine will draw. 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 heavi er
gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Cord Length AWG00 – 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.

Rough C utting a Dado
1. Mark lines identifying the width and depth of
the desired cut on the workpiece and position
on the table so the inside tip of the blade is
positioned on the l ine. Use a hold do wn clam p
to secure the workpiece.
2. Set the cutting depth as described in Presetting

Auxiliary Wood Fence
When making m ultiple or repetitive c uts that result
in cut-off piec es of one inch or less, it is possible for
the saw blade to cat c h the cut-off piec e and throw it
out of t he saw or into t he blade guar d and h ou sing,
possibly causing damage or injury. To minimize
this, an auxiliary wood fence can be mounted to
your saw. Holes are provided in the saw fence to
attach an auxiliary wood fence (this provides
additional depth of cut). This fence should be
constructed of straight wood approxim ately 3/4 in.
thick by 1-1/2 in. high by 22 in. long. Attach the
wood fence securel y and make a full dept h cut to
make a blade sl ot. Check for interference bet ween
the wood fence and the lower bl ade guard. Adj ust if
necessary.
Cutting Base 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
applicati on. Perf orm practic e cuts on scrap mat erial
to achieve best result s:
1. Al ways make sure moldings rest firml y 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 splint ering by tapi ng the cut area pri or
to making t he cut. Mark the cut line directly on
the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to an
incorrect bl ade application and thinness 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.
Figure 32
Crown Molding
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 urat ely cut crown molding 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.
Changing the Belt
1. Unplug your saw.
2. Loosen the bolts and rem ov e the belt cover.
3. Turn the screw counterclockwise with a hex
wrench to move the motor forward.

Failure to compl y may cause seri ou s injury!
Never use gasoline or any
highly volatile solvents to clean the miter
saw. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury!
Use only replacement parts
that are id entical to the parts list at the end
of thi s manu al and reassembl e exact ly as the
original assembly to avoid electrical shock.
Failure to compl y may cause seri ou s injury!
Replacing Carbon Brushes
Replace both carbon brushes when either has
less than 1/4 in. length of carbon rem aining, or if
the spring or wire is dam aged or bur ned.
To inspect or repl ac e br ushes:
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Remove t he black plastic cap on t he side of
the motor
Remove the cap cautiously, because it is
spring-loaded.
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 ov ement of the worktable when setting
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.
3. Pull out the brush and repl ac e.
4. Reverse above steps to reassemble.
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.
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: Appl y light machine oil.
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.
