● Check the dust bag before you work. Empty the bag if it is more than half-full.

KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN

Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

To avoid burns or other ﬁre damage, never use the miter saw near ﬂammable liquids, vapors, or gases.

● Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears.

● Know your miter saw. Read and understand this Instruction Manual and labels afﬁxed to this tool. Learn its application and limitations as well as the speciﬁc potential hazards peculiar to this tool. To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts, do not do layout, assembly, or setup work on the miter saw while any parts are moving.

● Avoid accidental starting, make sure the trigger switch is disengaged before plugging the miter saw into a power outlet.

PLAN YOUR WORK

● Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed to do. Use a different tool for any workpiece that can’t be held in a solidly braced, ﬁxed position.

This machine is not designed for cutting masonry, masonry products, ferrous metals (steel, iron, and ironbased metals.) Use this miter saw to cut only wood, wood-like products, or non-ferrous metals. Other material may shatter, bind the blade, or create other dangers. Remove all nails that may be in the workpiece to prevent sparking that could cause a ﬁre. Remove dust bag when cutting non-ferrous metals.

DRESS FOR SAFETY

Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can result in permanent

eye damage. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses and are not safety glasses. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they break.

● Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,

neckties or jewelry (rings, watches). They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

● Wear non-slip footwear.

● Tie back long hair.

● Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

● Noise levels vary widely. To avoid

possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs when using any miter saw.

● For dusty operations, wear a dust

mask along with safety goggles.

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece being cut. Plan your work to avoid small pieces that may bind, or that are too small to clamp and get a solid grasp on. Plan the way you will grasp the workpiece from start to ﬁnish. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions. A sudden slip could cause your ﬁngers or hand to move into the blade.

DO NOT OVER-REACH

Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face and body to one side, out of the line of a possible kickback. NEVER stand in the line of the blade.

Never cut freehand:

● Brace your workpiece ﬁrmly against

the fence and table stop so it will not rock or twist during the cut.

● Make sure there is no debris between

the workpiece and the table or fence.

WARNING



CAUTION



24 25

To avoid injury, follow all applicable safety instructions, when cutting non-ferrous metals:

● Use only saw blades speciﬁcally

recommended for non-ferrous metal cutting.

● Do not cut metal workpieces

that must be hand held. Clamp workpieces securely.

● Cut non-ferrous metals only if you

are under the supervision of an experienced person and the dust bag has been removed from the saw.

WHEN SAW IS RUNNING

Do not allow familiarity from frequent use of your miter saw to result in a careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

Before cutting, if the saw makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the saw OFF. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until ﬁnding and correcting the problem.

BODY AND HAND POSITION (FIG. Z)

Never place hands near the cutting area. Proper

positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw will make cutting easier and safer. Keep children away. Keep all visitors at a safe distance from the miter saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece. Don’t force the saw. It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.

WARNING

● Make sure there are no gaps between the workpiece, fence and table that will let the workpiece shift after it is cut.

● Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after it is cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.

● Only the workpiece should be on the saw table.

● Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to help hold the work when it’s practical.

USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD SHAPED WORKPIECES.

● Use extra supports (tables, sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for workpieces large enough to tip.

● Never use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or as an additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic miter saw table, or to help feed, support, or pull the workpiece.

● Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your hand or ﬁngers to be within 15.2 cm of the saw blade the workpiece is too small. Keep hands and ﬁngers out of the “no hands zone” area marked on the saw table.

● When cutting odd shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not bind in the blade and cause possible injury. Molding, for example, must lie ﬂat or be held by a ﬁxture or jig that will not let it move when cut.

● Properly support round material such as dowel rods, or tubing, which have a tendency to roll when cut, causing the blade to “bite”.

WARNING



BASIC SAW OPERATIONS

For your convenience, your saw has a blade brake. The brake is not a safety device. Never rely on it to replace the proper use of the guard on your saw. If the blade doesn’t stop within approximately 6 seconds, wait for the blade to stop, unplug the saw and contact Service Center.

TURNING SAW ON (FIG. AA)

To reduce the likelihood of accidental starting, a thumb activated lock-off switch is located on top of the switch handle. The lock-off switch (1) must be pushed in before the trigger switch (2) can be activated and the miter saw started.

Make the switch child-proof. Insert a padlock through the hole (3) in the trigger switch and lock it. This will prevent children and other unauthorized users from engaging the trigger switch ON.

Fig. AA

WARNING

Starting a cut:

● Place hands at least 15.2 cm away from the path of the blade – out of the “no-hands zone” (1).

● Hold workpiece ﬁrmly against the fence to prevent movement toward the blade.

● With the power switch OFF, bring the saw blade down to the workpiece to see the cutting path of the blade.

● Press in lock-off switch in trigger switch handle.

● Squeeze trigger switch to start saw.

● Lower blade into workpiece with a

ﬁrm downward motion.

Finishing a cut:

● Hold the cutting arm in the down position.

● Release trigger switch and wait for all moving parts to stop before moving your hands and raising the cutting arm.

● If the blade doesn’t stop within 6 seconds, unplug the saw and follow the instructions in TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE section.

Before freeing jammed material:

● Release trigger switch.

● Wait for all moving parts to stop.

● Unplug the miter saw.

ﬁnder from the saw.

6. Respectively place a base/crown

molding piece against the left and right sliding fence units, and perform the cross cutting to accomplish base/crown molding cutting.

Fig. II

Cutting crown molding:

Your miter saw is suited for making the difﬁcult task of cutting crown molding easily. To ﬁt properly, crown molding must be cut with extreme accuracy. The two surfaces on a piece of crown molding that ﬁt ﬂat against the ceiling and wall are at angles that, when added together equal exactly 90°. Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that ﬁts ﬂat against the ceiling) and a bottom rear angle (the section that ﬁts ﬂat against the wall). The two common spring angles for crown molding are: 52°/38° and 45°/45°.

1. Determine the spring angle for the

crown molding, for example, 52/38 degrees as shown in Fig. JJ.

Fig. JJ

2. Measure the angle of corner by

MiterMate™ angle ﬁnder and lock

the sliding fences unit in positions.

3. Place the crown molding piece upside down with against the table and the fence as shown in Fig. JJ. (Think of the table as the ceiling.)

Fig. KK

4. Use the clamp to secure the molding piece and hold it at the proper spring angle.

NOTE: Use the extension wings to

steady long molding pieces.

5. Cut on the side of the saw as shown in the following chart.

NOTE: If molding piece is too tall, cut ﬂat using the instructions of a conventional way on page 30.

4. Cut on the side of the saw as shown

in the following chart.

NOTE: If molding piece is too tall, reset fences to 0° and cut ﬂat using the bevel like a conventional saw.

CONVENTIONAL WAY OF CUTTING

CROWN/BASE MOLDING

The following instructions are not the optimum way to cut molding using the miter cutting feature. Use these instructions only for cutting molding too large for the Miter feature.

Cutting base molding (Fig. MM):

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 moldings rest ﬁrmly against fence and table. Use hold-down or C-clamps, whenever possible, and place tape on the area being clamped to avoid marks.

2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to making cut. Mark cut line directly on the tape.

3. Splintering typically happens due to wrong blade application and thinness of the material.

Fig. MM

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.

Cutting crown molding (Fig. NN, OO):

Your compound miter saw is suited for the difﬁcult task of cutting crown molding. To ﬁt properly, crown molding must be cut with extreme accuracy. The two surfaces on a piece of crown molding that ﬁt ﬂat against the ceiling and wall are at angles that, when added together equal exactly 90°.

In order to accurately cut crown 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.

NOTE: To reinstall the same 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.

Fig. PP

●

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 make the plastic “cloudy” and brittle.

EMPTYING SAWDUST BAG

Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the work table and base. This could cause difﬁculty in the movement of the worktable when setting up a miter cut. Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust.

Wear proper eye protection to keep debris from entering eyes when removing sawdust from unit.

CHECKING AND TIGHTENING THE TABLE LOCK LEVER

After a period of use, the lock levers might loosen and couldn’t clamp the sliding fence units tightly. An adjustment is needed. Please see ADJUSTING LOCK LEVERS section on page 18.

MAINTENANCE

To avoid injury, never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning.

●

To avoid ﬁre or toxic reaction,

never use gasoline, naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile solvents to clean the miter saw.

● To avoid injury from unexpected

starting or electrical shock, unplug the power cord before working on the saw.

● For your safety, this saw is double-insulated. To avoid electrical shock, ﬁre or injury, use only parts identical to those identiﬁed in the parts list. Reassemble exactly as the original assembly to avoid electrical shock.

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. PP)

Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than 6.35 mm length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned. To inspect or replace brushes, ﬁrst unplug the saw. Then remove the black plastic cap (1) on the side of the motor (2). Remove the cap cautiously, because it is springloaded. Then pull out the brush and replace. Replace for the other side. To reassemble reverse the procedure. The ears on the metal end of the assembly go in the same hole the carbon part ﬁts into. Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten.
