Electrical
Extension 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 8).
To avoid electrical hazards,
fire hazards, or damag e to the machine, use
proper circuit protection. Your saw is wired
at the factory for 120V o peration. Connect to
a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 amp time
delay fuse or circuit brea ker. If p ower co rd is
worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire.
Electrical Requirements
This machine is double insulated to provide a
double thicknes s of insulation between the user
and the machine's electr ica l system . All expos ed
metal parts are isolated from the internal m etal
motor components with protective insulation.
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 wil l 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 rating. If in d oubt, use the next heavier
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 (o ne b lad e is wider th an th e
other). This plug will f it in a polarized outlet onl y
one way; if the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it stil l does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
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 perf orm ed by a qualified
technician.
2. Do not use power tools in wet or damp
locations or expose them to rain or snow.

Auxiliary Wood Fence
When making m ultiple or repetitive cuts t hat result
in cut-off pieces of one inc h or les s, it is pos s ible f or
the saw blade to catch th e c ut-of f piece and throw it
out of the saw or into the bl ade guard a nd housi ng,
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 approximately 3/4 in.
thick by 1-1/2 in. high by 22 in. long. Attach the
wood fence secure ly and mak e a full depth cut to
make a blade slot. Check for interferenc e between
the wood fence and the lower blad e guard . Adjust if
necessary.

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. Per form prac tice cuts on s crap m ater ial
to achieve best results:
1. Always make sure m oldings rest firmly agai nst
fence and table. Use hold-do wn, cr o wn m olding
vise or C-clamps, whenever possible, and
place tape on the are a being clamped to a void
marks.
2. Reduce splintering by tapi ng the cut area prior
to making the cut. Mark the cut line directl y on
the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to an
incorrect blade applic ation and thinness of the
material.
Note: Always perform a dry run cut so you can
determine if the operation being attempted is
possible before power is applied to the saw.
Your compound miter s aw is suited for the difficult
task of cutting cro wn m oldi ng. To fit properly, cro wn
molding must be compound-mitered with extreme
accuracy. The two surfaces on a piece of crown
molding that fit flat aga inst the ceiling and wall are
at angles that, when added toget her, equal exactly
90°.
Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the
section that fits flat agains t the ceiling) of 52°and a
bottom rear angle (the section th at fits flat against
the wall) of 38°.
In order to accurately cut c rown molding for a 90°
inside or outside corner, lay the molding with its
broad back surface flat on the 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.

To avoid injury while
performing maintenance, always unplug the
power cord before working on the saw.
Failure to comply may cause serious 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 identical to the parts list at the end
of this manual and reassemb le exactl y as the
original assembly to avoid electrical shock.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Replacing Carbon Brushes
Replace both carbon brushes when either has
less than 1/4 in. length of car bon remainin g, or if
the spring or wire is damaged or burned.
To inspect or replace brushes:
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Remove the b lack plastic c ap on the s ide of
the motor
Remove the cap cautiously, because it is
spring-loaded.
3. Pull out the brush and replace.
Do not use the saw without the lower blade
guard. The lower blade gu ard 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. 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 could m ake the plastic “ cloudy” and
brittle.
Saw Dust
Periodically, saw dust will acc umulate under the
work table and bas e. This could cause difficulty
in the movement of the work table when setting
up a miter cut. Frequently blow out or vacuum
up the saw dust.
If blowing saw dust, wear
proper eye protection to keep debris from
entering eyes.
Lubrication
4. Reverse above steps to reassemble.
Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten.
Replace the brush for the other side in th e sam e
manner described above.
Note: To reinstall the sam e brushes, first make
sure the brushes go back in the way they came
out. This will avoid a break-in period that
reduces motor performance and increases wear.
All the motor bearin gs in this tool are lubric ated
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.
Central pivot of plastic guard: Use light
household oil (se wing machine oil) on metal-tometal or metal-to-pl astic guard contact areas as
required for smooth, quiet operation. Avoid
excessive oil, to which saw dust will cling.
