always secure the sliding fence in the collapsed position and locking it.

SLIDE CARRIAGE SYSTEM (FIG. 27)

1. For chop cutting operations on small workpieces, slide the cutting head assembly completely toward the rear of the unit and tighten the slide carriage lock knob (1).

WARNING! The sliding fence must be extended when making any bevel cut. Failure to extend the sliding fence will not allow enough space for the blade to pass through which could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the fence.

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

4. Once the desired miter angle is achieved, press down on the quickcam locking lever (1) to secure the table into position.

5. If the desired miter angle is NOT one of the nine positive stops noted above, simply lock the table at the desired angle by pressing down on the quick-cam locking lever (1).

6. Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the table for prealignment of your cut.

BEVEL CUT (FIG. 30)

1. When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel lock knob (1) by turning it clockwise.

2. Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle, as shown on the bevel

scale (2).

3. The blade can be positioned at any angle, from a 90° straight cut (0° on the scale) to a 45°. Tighten the bevel lock knob (1) to lock the cutting head in position. Positive stops are provided at 0° and 45°.

4. Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece on the table for prealignment of your cut.

COMPOUND CUT (FIG. 30, 31)

A compound cut is the combination of a miter and a bevel cut simultaneously.

1. Extending the fence by sliding it out to the required location or remove the left sliding fence if necessary. See “SLIDING FENCE.”

2. Set the desired bevel angle using the bevel lock knob (1). (Fig. 30)

3. Set the desired miter angle and lock into position. See “MITER CUT.”

BASE MOLDING CUT (FIG. 32)

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

rmly against fence and table. Use

hold-down clamp, crown molding vise 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 the cut. Mark the cut line directly on the tape.

3. Splintering typically happens due to an incorrect blade application 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.

INSTALLING THE BLADE

(FIG. 35, 36, 37)

1. Unplug the saw from the outlet.

2. Raise the miter saw to the upright position. Slide the cutting head assembly completely toward the rear of the unit and tighten the sliding carriage lock knob.

3. Raise the lower blade guard (1) to the uppermost position.

Changing Blades

WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn the switch off and remove the power plug from the power source before changing the blades. Use correctly sharped saw blades. Observe the maximum speed and tooth type marked on the saw blade. Blade replacement procedure including the method for repositioning that this must be carried out correctly. Do not use a saw blade which is not recommended in this owner’s manual.

CROWN MOLDING CUT (FIG. 33, 34)

Your compound miter saw is suited

for the difcult task of cutting crown molding. To t properly, crown molding

must be compound-mitered with extreme accuracy. The two surfaces

on a piece of crown molding that t at 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 ts at against

the ceiling) of 52°and a bottom rear

angle (the section that ts at against

the wall) of 38°.

In order to accurately cut crown molding for a 90° inside or outside corner, lay the molding with its broad

back surface at 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.

4. While holding the lower blade guard, loosen the cover plate

screw (2) with a Phillips screwdriver.

5. Rotate the cover plate (3) to expose the arbor bolt (4).

6. Place the blade end wrench over the arbor bolt (4).

7. Locate the arbor lock (5) on the motor.

8. Press the arbor lock (5), holding

it in rmly while turning the blade

clockwise. The arbor lock (5) will then engage and lock the arbor. Continue to hold the arbor lock (5), while turning the wrench clockwise to loosen the arbor bolt (4).

9. Remove the arbor bolt (4), outer blade collar (6), the blade (7) and the reducer (8). Do not remove the inner blade collar. NOTE: Pay attention to the pieces removed, noting their position and direction they face. Wipe the blade collars clean of any sawdust before installing a new blade.

INSTALLING THE BLADE

(FIG. 35, 36, 37)

1. Install a 216 mm blade with a

25.4 mm arbor making sure the rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard, and the blade teeth are pointing downward.

2. Place the reducer (8), the outer blade collar (6) against the blade and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (4) on the arbor in a counterclockwise direction.

WARNING! Un-plug the miter saw before changing/installing the blade.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the ats of

the blade collars are engaged with

the ats on the arbor shaft. Also, the at side of the blade collar must be

placed against the blade.

3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt (4).

4. Press the arbor lock (5), holding it in

rmly while turning the blade

counterclockwise. When it engages, continue to press the arbor lock (5) in, while tightening the arbor bolt (4) securely.

5. Rotate the cover plate (3) back to its original position until the slot in the

cover plate engages with the cover

plate screw (2). While holding the lower blade guard (1), tighten the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. NOTE: The lower blade guard (1) must be raised to the upright position to access the cover plate screw.

6. Lower the lower blade guard (1) and verify the operation of the guard does not bind or stick.

7. Be sure the arbor lock (5) is released so the blade turns freely .

WARNING!

● To avoid injury, never use the saw

without the cover plate secure in place. It keeps the arbor bolt from falling out if it accidentally loosens, and helps prevent the spinning blade from coming off the saw.

● Make sure the collars are clean

and properly arranged. Lower the blade into the lower table and check for any contact with the base or the miter table by spinning the blade manually.

Maintenance

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Occasionally use a cloth to wipe off chips and dust from the machine. And oil the rotary parts once a month to extend the tool life. Do not oil the motor.

BRUSHE INSPECTION (FIG. 38)

Check the motor brushes after the rst

50 hours of use for a new machine or after a new set of brushes have been

installed. After the rst check, examine

them every 10 hours of use.

When the carbon is worn to 6 mm in length or if the spring or shunt wire is burned or damaged, replace both brushes. If the brushes are found serviceable after removing, reinstall them.

To inspect or replace brushes, rst

unplug the saw. Then remove the black plastic cap (1) on the side of the motor (2). Carefully remove the spring-loaded cap. 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 ts into. Tighten the

cap snugly, but do not overtighten.

WARNING: For your own safety, turn the switch off and remove the plug from the power source outlet before maintaining or lubricating your miter saw.

WARNING! Always disconnect the plug from the power source before inspecting the brushes.
