Avoid Accidental Starting. Make 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 do Use a different too! 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 avoid 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_

Dress For Safety

WEAR YOUR

Any power miter saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes This can result in permanent eye damage Wear

safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87 1 (shown on package) Everyday eyeglasses have

only impact resistant lenses They are not safety glass- es Safety goggles are available at Sears retain stores Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87 1 could seriously hurt you when they break

• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jew- elry (rings, wrist watches) They can get caught and draw you into moving parts

• Wear nonstip footwear

• Tie back long hair

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow

• Noise levels vary widely To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using miter

saw for hours at atime

• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with safety goggles

Safety Instructions For Miter Saws (Continued)-

Inspect your workpiece, . Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the

part of the workpiece to be cut

Plan your work to avoid 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 cause fingers or hand to move into

the blade.

Don't Overreach, Keep good footing and balance Keep your face and body to one side of saw blade, out

of line with a possible throwback

Never cut Freehand:

• Cut only one workpiece at a time

• 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 between the workpiece, fence and table will let the workpiece shift after it is cut in

tWO

Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after it's cut off Otherwise it could get wedged against the blade and could be thrown violently

• Clear everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table before turning the miter

saw on

• Secure Work. Use clamps or a vise to help hold the work when it's practical

Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpieces:

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc ) for any workpiece large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.

• Never use another person 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

• Do not use this saw to cut pieces too small to let you

easily hold the work The thumb side of your index (pointer) finger should not be closer to the blade than

the outside edge of the fence

- When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the blade and be torn from your hands. A piece of molding, for example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut

• Properly support round material such as dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to rofl while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" To avoid this, always

use a fixture designed to properly hold your work- piece

WARNING: if planning to cut aiuminum or other non-ferrous metals: Under adverse conditions,

the blade can grab and throw the workpiece suddenly and unexpectedly. To avoid injury,

follow all applicable safety instructions, as you

normally would, and:

• Use only sawblades specifically recom- mended 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 expe-

rienced or under the supervision of an expe- rienced person.

Whenever Saw Is Running:

WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your miter saw) cause a care-

less 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 length stops against it while the blade is spinning It must be free to move sideways on its own. If confined, it could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently

Let the blade reach full speed before cutting 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 down

or binding Before freeing jammed material:

• Turn switch "OFF".

• Unplug the miter saw

• Wait for all moving parts to stop 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.

• tf blade doesn't stop within 6 seconds, 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 al! moving parts to stop

Make workshop child.proof Lock the shop, Disconnect master switches, Store tool away from children and oth-

ers not qualified to use the tool.

Double Insulated

The miter saw is double insulated to provide a double thickness of insulation between you and the tool's elec-

trical system All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation

Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown below

To reduce the risk of electrical 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 plug If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet, Do not change the plug in any way

WARNING: Double insulation does not take the

place of normal safety precautions when operat- ing this tool.

Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements (Continued)

DANGER: To avoid electrocution:

1. Use only identical replacement parts when

servicing a tool with double insulation. Servicing should be performed by a qualified

service technician.

2. Do not use in rain or where floor is wet, This tool is intended for indoor residential use

only.

Motor Safety Protection

IMPORTANT: To avoid motor damage, this motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep

sawdust from interfering with normal motor ventilation. 1 Connect this tool to a 120v, 15-amp branch circuit

with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using the wrong size fuse can damage the motor

2. If the motor won't start, release the trigger switch immediately UNPLUG THE TOOL, Check the saw

blade to make sure it turns freely, If the blade is free,

try to start the motor again if the motor still does not

start, refer to the "Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart."

3,. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood,

release the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and free the blade from the wood. The motor may now be

restarted and the cut finished.

4. Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip fre- quently if:

a. ,,,,.,,v, is Overloaded-Overloading can occur if

you feed too rapidly or make too many start!stops in a short time,

b Line voltages are more than 10% above or below

the nameplate voltage For heavy loads, however, the voltage at motor terminals must equal the volt- age specified on nameplate

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor- rect connections, overload, low voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly tong supply circuit wire. Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit whenever motor

doesn't work well Check wire sizes and length with

the Wire Size Chart below

Wire Sizes

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and is in good condition.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of

power, To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over- heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A W G) extension

Removing or Installing the Blade

WARNING: To avoid injury from a thrown work-

piece or thrown pieces of blade, do not use a blade larger or smaller than 10" diameter.

WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected starting, unplug the saw whenever you are

removing or installing the blade.

1. Unplug the saw from the outlet

2 Loosen the cover plate stop screw with phillips end

of the combination wrench, supplied.

3 Lift the lower guard up and tilt the lower guard

assembly back so the arbor screw is exposed.

4a. For Model 113 235220 & 113 235240 only, find the

arbor lock between the upper guard and the miter saw handle press the arbor lock and hold it in firmly

while turning the arbor screw The arbor lock will engage within one revolution

4b For either saw model you may lower the blade

down on to a scrap piece of wood positioned against the fence This will serve as an alternate

locking means

5. Place the 1/4" allen end of combination wrench supplied into the arbor screw. Remove the arbor

screw, 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

a new blade

6. Install the new 10" blade (see recommended accessory list) Make sure the rotation arrow on the

blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard.

7 InstaLlthe outer blade collar, and arbor screw Turn

the alien wrench counter clockwise to secure the

blade Tighten arbor screw securely,

8. Lower the lower blade guard until the slot in cover plate rests all the way down on the coverptate stop screw. Tighten the screw with phillips end of the combination wrench, supplied.

DANGER: Never use saw without cover plate securely in place. It keeps the arbor screw from

falling out if it accidentally loosens, and pre- vents the spinning blade from coming off the

machine.

9 Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade

turns freely
