best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating. DON’T put lubricants on the blade whi le it’s spinning.
Remove Adjusting Keys And Wrenches from tool
before turning it on.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces
• Use Only Recommended Accessories. (See “Accessory” section within.) Consult this Owner’s manual for
recommended accessories. Follow the instructions
that come with the ac cessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Choose the r ight 12-inch diamet er blade for the material and the type of cutting you plan to do.
• Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and properly aligned. With the s aw unplugg ed, pus h t he powerhead all the way down. Hand spin the blade and check
for clearance.
• Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.
• Make sure the collars' recessed sides are facing the
blad e.
• Using the 1/4” hex end of combination wrench (supplied) or a 1/2-inch box end wrench, make sure the
arbor screw is firmly tightened.
• Make sure all clam ps and locks are tight and there is
no excessive play in any parts.
• Keep Work Area Clean. Cluttered areas an d be nc hes
invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery.
To reduc e the risk of burns or other fire damage, never
use the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears
Know Your Miter Saw. Read and understand the
owner’s manual and labels affixed to the tool. Lear n its
applications an d lim itatio ns as well as the spec ific pote ntial hazards peculiar to this tool.
To reduc e the risk of injury from accidental co ntact with
moving parts, don’t do layout, assembly, or setup work on
the miter saw while any parts are movi ng.
To Reduce the Risk of Accidental Starting. Ma ke sure
switch is “OFF” before plugging miter saw into a power
outlet.
Plan your work.
Use The Right Tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed to d o. Use a different tool for
any workpiece that can’t be held in a solidly braced, fixed
position.
CAUTION: This machine is not designed for cutting
ferrous metals (steel, iron and iron based metals).
Use this miter saw to cut only wood, wood like
products or soft metals like aluminum. Other material may shatter, bind on the blade, or create other
dangers.
CAUTION: When cutting any metals, sparks or hot
fragments could cause a fire. To reduce the risk of
this, disconnect any dust collecting bag or hose
from the miter saw, and remove all traces of wood
dust from inside dust traps in the miter saw.
• Do not wear loose clo thing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, wrist watche s) They can get caught and draw
you into moving parts.
5
Dress For Safety
Any power tool can throw foreign objec ts into the eyes.
This can result in per manent eye damage. Wear safety
goggles (not glas ses) tha t com ply with A NSI Z87 .1 (or i n
Canada CSA Z94-3-M88) shown on pa ckage. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are
not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at many
local retail stores. G lasses or goggles no t in compliance
with ANSI or CSA could seriously hurt you when they
break.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, wrist watches) They can get cau ght and draw you
into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widel y. To reduce the ri sk of poss ible
hearing damage, wear ea r plugs or muffs when us ing
miter saw for hours at a time.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with
safety goggles.
Preparing to Make Cut
Inspect Your Workpiece. Ma ke sure there are no nails
or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
Plan your work to reduce the risk of thrown pieces
caused when the workpiece binds on the blade and
is torn from your hands.
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to finish.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cau se fin gers or hand to move into the
blade.
Don’t Overreach. Keep good footing and balance.
Keep your face and body to one side of sawblade, out of
line with a possible thrown piece.
• Cut only one workpi ec e at a time.
Never cut Freehand:
• Brace your workpiece solidly against the fence and
table top so it will not rock or twist during the cut.
• Make sure there’s no debris between the workpiece
and its supports.
• Make sure no gaps betwee n the workpiec e, fence and
table will let the workpiece shift after it is cut in two.
• Keep the cut off piec e free to move sideways after it's
cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged against the
blade and thrown violently.
• Clear everything except the workpiece and related
suppor t devices off the table before turning the mi ter
saw on.
• Secure Work. Use clamps or a vise to he lp hold the
work when it’s practical.
Use extra caution with large, ver y small or awkward
workpieces:
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)
for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held
down to the table top.
• Never use another pe rson as a substitute for a table
extension, or as 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 pieces too small to let you
easily hold the work while you keep the thumb s ide of
your index (pointer) finger against the outsi de edge of
the fence.
• When cut ting ir reg ular ly s haped wor kp ieces, plan your
work so it will n ot slip and pinch the blade and be tor n
from your hands. A piece of molding, for example,
must lie flat or be he ld by a fixture or jig that wil l no t le t
it twist, rock or slip while being cut.
• Properly support round material such as dowel rods, or
tubing. They have a tendency to roll while bei ng cut,
causing the blade to "bite." To avoid this, always use a
fixture designed to properly hold your workpiece.
WARNING: If planning to cut aluminum or other
non-ferrous metals: Under adverse conditions, the
blade can grab and throw the workpiece suddenly
and unexpectedly. To reduce the risk of injury, follow all applicable safety instructions, as you normally would, and:
• Use only sawblades specifically recommended
for non-ferrous metal cutting.
• Do not cut metal workpieces that must be hand
held. Use auxiliary clamps or other equipment as
needed.
• Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are experienced or under the supervision of an experienced
person.

Safety Instructions for Miter Saws (continued)
Whenever Saw Is Running
WARNING: Don’t allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your miter saw) cause a careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough to
cause a severe injury.
Before starting your cut, watch the miter saw while it
runs. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop
immediately. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not
restart until finding and correcting the problem.
Keep Children Away. Keep all visitors a safe distance
from the miter saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of the
miter saw and workpiece.
Never confine the piece being cut off. Never hold it,
clamp it, touch it, or use l ength stops aga inst it while the
blade is spinning. It must be free to move sideways on its
own. If confined, it could ge t wedged against the blade
and be thrown violently.
Let the blade reach full speed before cutting. T h is w i ll
help avoid thrown workpieces.
Don’t Force Tool. It will do the job better and safer at its
designed rate. Feed the saw into the workpiece only fast
enough to let the blade cut without bogging dow n or binding.
Before freeing jammed material:
• Turn miter saw “OFF” by releasing trigger switch.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the miter saw.
After finishing a cut:
• Keep holding the power head down.
• Release the switch, and wait for all moving parts to
stop before moving your hands or raising power head.
• If blade doesn’t stop wi thin 6 second s, unplug the saw
and follow the instructions in the Trouble Shooting section for fixing the blade brake before using the saw
again.
Before Leaving The Saw
Never Leave Tool Running Unattended.Turn power off.
Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Make Workshop Child Proof. Install a padlock through
the hole provided in th e trigger to prevent unauthorized
usage. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Store
tool away from children and others not qualified to use
the tool.

miter saw handle. Fit 1/4” hex end of combination
tool in arbor screw or use 1/2” box end wrench.
5. Press the arbor lock and hold it in firmly while turning
the wrench clockwise. The arbor lock will engage
after some turning of the wrench.
NOTE: The arbor screw has a left hand thread. This
helps prevent unwanted loosening of the arbor screw during normal operation.
6. Remove the arbor screw, arbor washer, outer blade
collar, and the blade.
NOTE: Pay attention to pieces removed, noting their
position and direction they face (see illustration). Wipe
the blade collars clean of any sawdust before installing
the new blades.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of cuts from
extremely sharp teeth: Wear gloves when installing
or removing sawblade.
See cautions in “Using Carbide Tipped Blades” section
concerning inspection, use, and selection of carbide
