13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when
changing accessories such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner's manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted.

19. CHECK 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. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade
or cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade or cutter only.

21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.

22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.

23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance 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.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to
a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in
SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as damage to
the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to slide compound saw safety rules. If you use this
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.

1. Wear eye protection.

12 16 14 12

USB036-2

2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid

contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.

3. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard
does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the
open position.

3

Not Recommended

4. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with a vise during
all operations. Never use your hand to secure
the workpiece.

5. Never reach around saw blade.

6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop

before moving workpiece or changing
settings.

7. Unplug tool before changing blade or
servicing.

8. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to
the full rear position after each crosscut
operation.

9. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.

10. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.

11. Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.

12. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately. Gum and wood

pitch hardened on blades slows saw and
increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean
by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.

13. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can

occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade
binds in the workpiece during a cutting
operation and the saw blade is driven back
rapidly towards the operator. Loss of control
and serious personal injury can result. If blade
begins to bind during a cutting operation, do
not continue to cut and release switch
immediately.

14. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

15. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges

(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.

16. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to
a stable work platform or bench. NEVER use
tool where operator positioning would be
awkward.

17. For your safety, remove the chips, small
pieces, etc. from the table top before
operation.

18. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.

19. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.

20. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.

21. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.

22. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.

23. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.

24. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.

25. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.

26. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"
position.

27. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be
lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are
extremely unforgiving.

28. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.

29. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of blade
with left hand or vice versa. This is called
cross-armed cutting and exposes user to risk
of SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY as shown in
the figure. ALWAYS use vise to secure
workpiece.

000030

30. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to

disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, water and sharp objects.

31. NEVER stack workpieces on the table top to
speed cutting operations. Cut only one piece
at a time.

32. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material

005232

By flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released,
and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the workpiece,
push the vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts
the workpiece and flip the vise nut to the right. Then turn
the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 215 mm (8-1/2").

CAUTION:

• Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when

securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result

in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could

cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage

to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can

result in PERSONAL INJURY.

• When cutting out thin workpiece, such as base

boards, against the fence, always use the

horizontal vise.

Holders

1. Holder

• Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.

• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle

when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.

• Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If

the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral
force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a
mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision
of the cut will be impaired.

• During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward

the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be
left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.

1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)

The holders can be installed on either side as a
convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
Slip fully the holder rods into the holes in the base. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.

CAUTION:

• Always support long workpieces level with the top

surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to
prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the

lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.

1. Locking screw

010394

Workpieces up to 91 mm (3-5/8") high and 70 mm
(2-3/4") wide can be cut in the following way.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten the locking screw clockwise to secure the
carriage. Secure the workpiece with the vise.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed
before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to
the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its
fully elevated position.

12

CAUTION:

• Firmly tighten the knob clockwise so that the

carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient
tightening may cause unexpected kickback of the
blade. Possible serious PERSONAL INJURY may
result.

2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)

1

• Never loosen the locking screw which secures the

carriage while the blade is rotating. This may cause
serious injury.

3. Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter
angle".

4. Bevel cut

1. Locking screw

010395

Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so that
the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece
with the vise. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
Press down the handle and PUSH THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND
THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is
completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL
THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP
before returning the blade to its fully elevated
position.

CAUTION:

• Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL

THE CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press
down the handle to the fully lowered position, then
PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE
FENCE. NEVER START THE CUT WITH THE
CARRIAGE NOT FULLY PULLED TOWARD YOU.
If you perform the slide cut without pulling the
carriage fully or if you perform the slide cut toward
your direction, the blade may kickback
unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious
PERSONAL INJURY.

• Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked

in the lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.

010396

Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the
bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered
"Adjusting the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten
the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle
safely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Make sure
the carriage is pulled all the way back toward the
operator. Switch on the tool without the blade
making any contact and wait until the blade attains
full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fully
lowered position while applying pressure in parallel
with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE
TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE
WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch
off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS
COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning
the blade to its fully elevated position.

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the blade will move down to

bevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out
of path of saw blade.

• During a bevel cut, it may create a condition

whereby the piece cut off will come to rest against
the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while the
blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught by
the blade, causing fragments to be scattered which
is dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLY
after the blade has come to a complete stop.

• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in

parallel with the blade. If a force is applied
perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressure
direction is changed during a cut, the precision of
the cut will be impaired.

• Always slide the sliding fence so that it does not

interfere any part of the carriage when performing
bevel cuts.

5. Compound cutting

Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel
angle is made at the same time in which a miter
angle is being cut on a workpiece. Compound
cutting can be performed at angle shown in the
table.

6. Cutting crown and cove moldings

Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a
compound miter saw with the moldings laid flat on
the turn base.
There are two common types of crown moldings
and one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle
crown molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and
45° wall angle cove molding. See illustrations.

Measuring

Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on
table to cut wall contact edge to desired length.
Always make sure that cut workpiece length at the
back of the workpiece is the same as wall length.
Adjust cut length for angle of cut. Always use
several pieces for test cuts to check the saw
angles.
When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the
bevel angle and miter angle as indicated in the
table (A) and position the moldings on the top
surface of the saw base as indicated in the table
(B).

prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting
lubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion to
prevent build-up of the aluminum material on the
blade.

CAUTION:

• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum

extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come
loose during operation and round aluminum
extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.

8. Wood facing

Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free
cuts in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the
guide fence using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a
suggested wood facing.

screw heads are below the surface of the wood
facing.

• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the

turn base with the handle lowered. The blade

After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the
workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the
figure. Then remove the workpiece material
between the grooves with a chisel. Do not attempt
to perform this type of cut using wide (thick) blades
or with a dado blade. Possible loss of control and
injury may result.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original

position when performing other than groove cutting.
