WARNING! Read and understand all the instructions before attempting to as-

semble or operate the tool. Failure to follow the instructions listed below could result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious personal injury.

SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

WORK AREA

1. KEEPYOUR WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered benches and dark

areas invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is in operation.

2. DO NOT OPERATE POWERTOOLS IN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS, SUCH AS IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Power

tools create sparks, which could ignite dust or fumes.

3. KEEP BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAYWHILE OPERATING A POWERTOOL. Distractions could cause you to lose control.

4. STORE IDLETOOLS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN AND OTHER UNTRAINED PERSONS. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. NEVER LEAVETHE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.TURN THE POWER OFF.

Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

6. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF – with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE TOOL, BE CERTAIN THE OUTLETVOLTAGE SUPPLIED IS COMPATIBLE WITHTHE VOLTAGE MARKED ON THE NAMEPLATEWITHIN 10%. An outlet voltage incompatible with that speciﬁed on the

nameplate can result in serious hazards and damage to the tool.

2. GROUNDINGTOOLS ARE EQUIPPED WITH THREE-PRONG PLUG (THE GROUNDING BLADE IS THE LONGEST OFTHE 3 BLADES). This plug will ﬁt

into a three-hole electrical receptacle. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug does not ﬁt the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

3. AVOID BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES SUCH AS PIPES, RADIATORS, RANGES AND REFRIGERATORS. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is grounded.

4. DO NOT EXPOSE POWERTOOLS TO RAIN ORWET CONDITIONS. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

5. DO NOT ABUSETHE CORD. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

6. WHEN OPERATING A POWERTOOL OUTSIDE, USE AN OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORD MARKED “W-A” OR “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use

and reduce the risk of electric shock.

6. Plug the Power Cord into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.

7. Squeeze the Power Switch to turn on the Miter Saw.

8. When the Saw Blade is tur ning at full speed, slowly bring down the Motor Housing to complete the cut. NOTE: Feed the Saw Blade into the workpiece gradually. Do not force the machine to remove material faster than it was designed to cut.

9. When cutting a large wor kpiece, make sure its entire length is properly supported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included) with a larger workpiece.

10. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Miter Saw while it is plugged in and running.

11. Turn off the Miter Saw if the workpiece is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.

12. When the cut is complete, release the Power Switch to turn off the Miter Saw.

13. Wait until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Raise the Motor Housing. Then, unplug the Power Cord from its electrical outlet.

14. Loosen the Clamp Assembly, and remove the workpiece and scrap material from the Table.

If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. Never work with a dull saw blade.

3. Daily: With a soft brush, cloth, or vacuum, remove all dust and debris from the Miter Saw.Then, use a premium quality, lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving parts except the Saw Blade.

4. To replace the Motor Carbon Brushes: It may become necessary at sometime to replace the two Carbon Brushes when the Motor performance de- creases, or stops working completely.The Carbon Brushes are located on each side of the Motor Housing. To do so, remove the two Brush Covers. Then, remove the two Carbon Brushes are worn down more than 1/2, replace both Carbon Brushes. If, however, the Carbon Brushes are just dirty they may be cleaned by rubbing them with a pencil eraser.When installing the Carbon Br ushes, make sure the carbon portion of the Carbon Brushes contact that the springs face away from the Motor. Also, make sure the springs operate freely. After cleaning or replacement, replace the Brush Holders.
