SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER SAW
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert
and knowing how your miter saw works. Read this man-
ual to understand this miter saw.
Place the miter saw so neither the user nor bystanders
are forced to stand in line with the blade. Thrown debris
could injure people in its path.
BEFORE USING THE MITER SAW:
WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause
serious, permanent injury, do not plug the miter
saw in until the following steps are completed.
• Assembly and alignment. (See pages 9-13)
• Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF switch,
upper and lower blade guards, handle latch, bevel
clamp, cover plate stop screw, and fence clamps.
(See page 8).
• Review and understand all safety instructions and
operating procedures in this manual,
• Review the maintenance methods for this miter saw.
(See page 23).
Read the following DANGER label found on the top of
the miter saw:
WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING
THE MITER SAW.
Before moving the saw, lock the miter, bevel and power
head positions. Unplug the power cord.
To avoid back injury, get help whenever you need to lift
the miter saw more than 10 inches.
NEVER carry the saw by the cord or power head handle.
Damage to insulation could cause an electric shock.
Damage to wire connections could cause a fire.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT Use the miter
saw in a dry, indoor place protected from rain. Keep
work area well lighted.
To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
• Put the miter saw on a firm level surface where there
is plenty of room for handling and properly supporting
the workpiece.
• Support the miter saw so the table is level and the
saw does not rock.
• Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutting
tool. Do not store anything above or near the toot
where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them.
To avoid injury or death from electrical shock:
• THIS TOOL IS DOUBLE INSULATED to give you
added protection. Double insulation does not take
the place of normal safety precautions when operat-
ing this tool. When servicing this double insulated
tool, use only identical parts.
• Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal
prongs when plugging or unplugging the miter saw.
BEFORE EACH USE:
Inspect your miter saw,
DISCONNECT THE MITER SAW. To avoid injury from
accidental starting, unplug the saw, before changing
the setup, changing the blade or adjusting anything.
Compare the direction of rotation arrow on the guard
to the direction arrow on the blade. The blade teeth
should always point downward at the front of the saw.
Tighten the arbor screw.
Tighten the cover plate stop screw.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Check for:
•Alignment of moving parts,
• Damaged electric cords.
• Binding of moving parts,
• Broken parts,
• Stable mounting,
• Function of arm return spring and lower guard: Push
the arm all the way down. then let it rise up until it
stops by itself. Check the lower guard to see if it
closed fully. If it did not, follow the instructions in the
Trouble Shooting section.
•Other conditions that may affect the way the miter
saw works.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE, in working order, and in
proper adjustment.
If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or
any electrical parts don't work, turn the saw off and
unplug it. REPLACE damaged, missing, or failed parts
before using the saw again.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep the miter saw
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instruc-
tions for lubricating. DON'T put lubricants on the blade
while it's spinning.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES from
tool before turning it on.
To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:
• USE ONLY RECOMMENDEDACCESSORIES. (See
page 23). Consult this Owner's manual for recom-
mended accessories. Follow the instructions that
come with the accessories. The use of improper ac-
cessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Choose the right 10" inch diameter blade for the ma-
terial and the type of cutting you plan to do.
• Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and prop-
erly aligned. With the saw unplugged, push the
power-head all the way down. Hand spin the blade
and check for clearance. Tilt the power-head to 45
degree bevel and repeat the check. If the blade hits
anything, make the adjustments shown in the Main-
taining Maximum Cutting Capacity section.
• Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.
• Make sure the arbor collar's recessed sides are facing
the blade.
• Using a 1!2-inch box wrench, make sure the arbor
cap screw is firmly hand tightened.
• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts
have excessive play.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery.
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, ears.
KNOW YOUR MITER SAW. Read and understand the
owner's manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its
application and limitations as well as the specific poten-
tial hazards peculiar to this tool.
To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving
parts, don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the
miter saw while any parts are moving.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is
"OFF" before plugging miter saw into a power outlet.
Plan your work.
USE THE RIGHTTOOL Don't force toot or attachment
to do ajob it was not designed to do. 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 cut-
ting 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 materials may shatter, bind on the blade, or
create other dangers.
CAUTION: When cutting any metals, sparks or hot
I fragments could cause a fire. To avoid this, dis-
Iconnect any dust collecting hose from the miter
Isaw, and remove all traces of wood dust from
Iinside dust traps n the miter saw.
Dress for safety.
WEAR YOUR
SAFETY
Any power miter saw can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can cause 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 glas-
ses. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog
stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI
Z87.1 could seriously hurl you when they break.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wrist watches) They can get caught
and draw you into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
t-
_.,.O_
--!
o,_. __
•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 a time.
•For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with
the safety goggles.
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 THROWBACKS--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, out of line with
a possible throwback.
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 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 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 workpieoes 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 work-
piece 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 side
of your index (pointer) finger against the outside edge
of the fence.
• When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
your work support so it will not slip, 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 roll 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 aluminum or other
non-ferrous metals: Under adverse conditions, the
blade can grab and throw the workpiece suddenly
and unexpectedly. To avoid injury, follow all appli-
cable 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 auxilliary clamps or other equipment
as needed.
Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are experi-
enced or under the supervision of an experi-
enced person.
WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING.
WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-
quent 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 miter saw off. Unplug the
miter saw. Do not restart until finding and correcting
the problem.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe dis-
tance 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 ful! speed before cutting.
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer
at its designed rate. Feed the blade into the workpiece
only fast enough to let it cut without bogging down or
binding.
Before freeing any 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 al! moving parts to
stop before moving your hands.
• If 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 all moving parts to stop.
Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect
master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store
it away from children and others not qualified to use
the tool.

Step Two--Checking and Aligning Blade with Turn
Table Slot
1. The blade should look like it's parallel to the sides
of the turn table slot. The blade should be 'W' closer
to left side than right.
2 If blade looks parallel with turn table slot proceed
to step three. If necessary, realign blade with turn
table slot, adjust as follows.
a. Use a 516_'hex "lj' wrench to loosen (but do not
remove) the two cap screws that attach pivot
support to turn table. Move blade power-head so
it is parallel with turn table slot. Securely tighten
cap screws, Recheck blade position and readjust
if necessary. Always check blade clearance to
table when the miter saw is fully tilted to the left

StepThree--Checking and Adjusting Blade Square-
ness to Fence (Front Fence Position)
1. To check blade squareness to fence, use a combina-
tion square Place the square against the fence and
next to the blade as illustrated. Place the square so
the set in the teeth won't hold it from the blade. The
blade should contact the full length of the square
2. If blade contacts full length of square, proceed to
next step If blade is not square to the fence, follow
the alignment procedure.
a. Loosen miter lock handle a half turn. The latch
handle should still be secured with blade in low-
ered position.
NOTE: Take the saw off its stand, bench or
plywood base if readjustment is necessary.
CAUTION: To keep from losing control of the unit,
steady the base with one hand while loosening
the two bolts with the other hand.
b. With the unit securely resting on a large stable
surface, tilt the unit by lifting up on one side or
the other of the base. Loosen the two miter arm
bolts on the underside of the turn table with a
b{' wrench or socket. Tilt the unit by lifting up on
one side or the other of the base.
c. Return the saw to its normal resting position.
Make sure the miter lock handle is loose but do
not release the index spring.
d. Use the miter saw handle to turn the turn table
and saw so that the blade contacts the full length
of the square. Watch out for tooth set. Turn the
miter lock handle clockwise to lock saw square
to fence
e. Tilt saw as in Step B and tighten bolts.
f. Recheck blade squarenesss to fence and read-
just if necessary.
Adjustment of Miter Scale Indicator
1. Loosen the phillips screws that hold the indicator in
place. Reposition the indicator and retighten screw.

Step Four--Pivot Adjustments
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory
and normally do not require readjustment.
1. The miter saw should rise completely to the up posi-
tion by itself. If the saw will not raise by itself or if
there is play in the pivot joints the following adjust-
ments are necessary.
Travel Pivot Adjustments
a. Hold the pivot bolt with an adjustable or 1_.'16"wrench.
Loosen the hex lock nut with an adjustable or 15_6"
wrench.
b. Recheck the saw travel. Saw should rise freely to
its up travel stop Check to see that the saw will
raise from all positions and there is no looseness in
the pivoL If saw still won't fully rise, have Sears
Service check and repair it.

Bevel Pivot Adjustment
1. The miter saw should bevel easily by loosening the
bevel lock handle and tilting the power head to the
left. If movement is tight or if there is looseness in
the pivot follow the adjustment procedure.
a. Loosen the bevel lock handle.
b. Turn the hex lock nut with an adjustable or _6"
wrench.
c. Recheck bevel movement of the miter saw. Re-
adjust if necessary.
Depth Stop
The depth stop limits the blades downward travel It
allows the blade to go below the work table enough to
maintain ful! cutting capacities. The depth stop positions
the blade "/4"from the cast iron table support. The depth
stop is factory set and should never need adjustment.
Maintaining Maximum Cutting Capacity
WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected start-
ing or electrical shock, do not plug the power cord J
into a source of power during unpacking and
assembly. This cord must remain unplugged
whenever you are working on the saw.
Unplug the saw before any adjustment is attempted.
This tool is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the !0" saw blade provided. When the
diameter ot the blade has been reduced due to sharpen-
ing, if may be necessary to adjust depth stop to provide
maximum cutting capacity. When a new blade is tn-
stalled, it is necessary to check the clearance of the
blade to the turn table structure.
1. To adjust the depth stop use an adjustable wrench
and loosen the hex nut at the rear of the miter
saw arm.
2 Use a flat blade screwdriver to adjust the depth stop
adjusting bolt. The saw blade is lowered by turning
the bolt counterclockwise and raised by turning the
bolt clockwise.

WARNING: Do not start the miter saw without
checking for interference between the blade and
the turn table structure. Damage could result to
the blade if it strikes the turn table structure dur-
ing operation of the saw.
4. Tighten the hex nut with an adjustable wrench while
carefully holding the depth stop adjusting bolt with
the flat blade screwdriver so it will not turn while
tightening hex nut.

Fence Positions
The miter saw has two fence positions, The front fence
position is used for workpieces up to standard 2 x 4 for
cut off and bevel operation, floor and ceiling moldings,
and door casings. The rear fence position is used
for cut off and bevel operation for a standard 2x 6
workpiece.
Standard 2 x4 measures 1_,/' x 3_,/'
Standard 2 x 6 measures 1_,5'' x 5_''
The base on either side of the work table has two sets
of holes for locating the fence. To change the fence
position, remove the two fence lock handles. Put the
fence in the other fence position and instali the fence
lock handles.
The rear fence position is designed to slide side to side
when the miter setting is changed Th_s feature lets the
fence move to provide maximum support for the work-
piece If it _s necessary to change the miter cut in the
rear position, first loosen the fence lock handles. Re-
lease the miter lock handle and move it to the desired
miter angle. Tighten the miter lock handle and the fence
lock handles.
CAUTION: Do not try to change the miter position
while the fence is in the rear fence position before
loosening the fence lock handles. You might dam-
age the fence alignment arm.
On/Off Trigger Switch
To prevent the trigger from being accidentally engaged,
a lock-off button is provided, To start the tool, press in
the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger Release

MOUNTING THE SAW
WARNING:movement:To avoid injury from unexpected saw
a. Before moving the saw, lock the miter, bevel and
power-head positions. Unplug electric cord
b. To avoid back injury, get help when you need to lift
the saw more than 10 inches. Hold the tool close to
your body. Bend your knees so you can lift with your
legs, not your back. Lift by using the hand-hold areas
at the bottom of the base.
c. Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or the
plastic handle. Carrying the tool by the power cord
could cause damage to the insulation or the wire
connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
d Place the saw so other people cannot stand behind
it. Thrown debris could injure people in its path.
e Place the saw on a firm. level surface where there
is plenty of room for handling and properly support-
ing the workpiece.
f Support the saw so the table is level and the saw
does not rock.
g Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
Place the saw in the desired location either on a work
bench or the recommended leg set The base of the
saw has four holes to mount the miter saw (see illustra-
tion), If the saw is to be used in one location, fasten it
to the work bench or leg set

BEFORE USING THE MITER SAW:
WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause
serious permanent injury, do not plug the miter
saw n until the following steps are completed.
• Assembly and alignment. (See pages 9-13 ).
• The saw is properly mounted. (See pages 13-15).
• Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF switch,
upper and lower blade guards, handle latch, bevel
clamp, cover plate stop screw, and fence clamps.
(See page 8).
• Review and understand all safety instructions and
operating procedures in this manual.
• Review the maintenance methods for this miter saw.
(See page 23).
To avoid injury or death from electrical shock:
•Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal
prongs when plugging or unplugging the miter saw.
BEFORE EACH USE:
Inspect your miter saw.
DISCONNECT THE MITER SAW. To avoid injury from
accidental starting, unplug the saw, before changing
the setup, changing the blade or adjusting anything.
Compare the direction of rotation arrow on the guard
to the direction arrow on the blade. The blade teeth
should always point downward at the front of the saw.
Tighten the arbor screw.
Tighten the cover plate stop screw.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Check for:
• Alignment of moving parts,
• Damaged electric cords.
• Binding of moving parts,
• Broken parts,
• Stable mounting,
• Function of arm return spring and lower guard: Push
the arm all the way down, then let it rise up until it
stops by itself. Check the lower guard to see if it
closed fully. If it did not, follow the instructions in the
Trouble Shooting section.
• Other conditions that may affect the way the miter
saw works.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE, in working order, and in
proper adjustment.
If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or
any electrical parts don't work, turn the saw off and
unplug it. REPLACE damaged, missing, or failed parts
before using the saw again.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep the miter saw
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instruc-
tions for lubricating. DON'T put lubricants on the blade
while it's spinning.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES from
tool before turning it on.
To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:
• USE ONLY RECOMMENDEDACCESSORIES. (See
page 23). Consult this Owner's manual for recom-
mended accessories. Follow the instructions that
come with the accessories. The use of improper ac-
cessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Choose the right 10" inch diameter blade for the ma-
terial and the type of cutting you plan to do.
• Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and prop-
erly aligned. With the saw unplugged, push the
power-head all the way down. Hand spin the blade
and check for clearance. Tilt the power-head to 45
degree bevel and repeat the check. If the blade hits
anything, make the adjustments shown in the Main-
taining Maximum Cutting Capacity section.
• Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.
• Make sure the arbor collar's recessed sides are facing
the blade.
• Using a 1/2-inch box wrench, make sure the arbor
cap screw is firmly hand tightened.
• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts
have excessive play.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery.
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, ears.
KNOW YOUR MITER SAW. Read and understand the
owner's manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its
application and limitations as well as the specific poten-
tial hazards peculiar to this tool.
To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving
parts, don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the
miter saw while any parts are moving.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is
"OFF" before plugging miter saw into a power outlet.
Plan your work.
USE THE RIGHTTOOL. Don't force 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.
CAUTION: This machine is not designed for cut-
ting 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 materials 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, dis-
connect any dust collecting hose from the miter
saw, and remove all traces of wood dust from
inside dust traps in the miter saw.
16
Dress for safety.
Any power miter saw can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can cause 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 glas-
ses. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog
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
jewelry (rings, wrist watches) They can get caught
and draw you into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip 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 a time.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with
the safety goggles.
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 THROWBACKS--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'TOVERREACH, Keep good footing and balance.
Keep your face and body to one side, out of line with
a possible throwback.
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 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 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 workpieces 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 work-
piece 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 lhe work while you keep the thumb side
of your index (pointer) finger against the outside edge
of the fence.
• When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
your work support so it will not slip, 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 roll 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 aluminum or other
non-ferrous metals: Under adverse conditions, the
blade can grab and throw the workpiece suddenly
and unexpectedly. To avoid injury, follow all appli-
cable 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 auxilliary clamps or other equipment
as needed.
• Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are experi-
enced or under the supervision of an experi-
enced person,
WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING.
WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-
quent use of your miter saw) cause a careless
mistake. A careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe njury.
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 miter saw off. Unplug the
miter saw. Do not restart until finding and correcting
the problem.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe dis-
tance from the miter saw. Make sure bystanders are
clear of the miter saw and workpiece.
17
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 blade into the workpiece
only fast enough to let it cut without bogging down or
binding.
Before freeing any 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.
• If 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 all moving parts to stop.
Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect
master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store
it away from children and others not qualified to use
the tool.
WARNING: For your convenient use, your saw has
a blade brake. The brake is not a safety device.
Never rely on it to replace proper use or the guard
on your saw. If the blade does not stop within 6
seconds, unplug the saw and follow the instruc-
tions in the Trouble Shooting section for fixing the
brake before using saw again.
Body and Hand Position
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operat-
ing the miter saw will make cutting easier and safer.
Never place hands near cutting area Place hand at
least 4" from path of blade, Hold workpiece firmly to
the fence to prevent movement towaro the blade Keep
hands in position until trigger has been released and
the blade has completely stopped, Before making a
cut, make a "dry run" with the power off so you can see
the path of the blade.
WARNING: Do not try to cut short pieces. You
cannot properly support the workpiece and keep
your hold down hand the required distance from
the b ade.

Cutting Bowed Material
Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it is
not bowed. If it is bowed the workpiece must be
positioned and cut as illustrated. Do not position work-
piece incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece without the
support of the fence. This will cause pinching of the
workpiece on the blade. The workpiece could suddenly
jump or move and your hand could hit the blade.

Workpiece Support
Long pieces need extra supports• The supports should
be placed along the workpiece so the workpiece does
not sag and your hand holding the workpiece is
positioned 4" or more from the blade path. The support
should let the workpiece lay flat on the base and work
table during the cutting operation

Auxiliary Fence
Certain types of molding need a fence face extension
due to the size and position of the workpiece Holes
are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence
made of straight wood typically 1_ inch thick by 3 inches
high by 20 inches long. The auxiliary fence is used with
the saw in the 0 bevel position. If a bevel cut is desired,
the auxiliary fence will have to be removed.

Filler Blocks for Cutting Crown Moldings
The majority of crown moldings have contact surfaces
of 52: and 38 to the rear surface of the molding. When
joining the face of the filler block these angles must be
maintained. The following illustrations show two
methods that can be used when cutting crown moldings
depending on how the filler block is attached to the
fence.
When the filler blocks are attached with the face of the
filler blocks pointing upwards, the molding must be
placed on the table upside down
When the filler blocks are attached to the fence with
the face of the filler blocks pointing downwards, the
molding must be placed on the table right side up. This
is the same position as it would be when nailed between
the ceiling and wall.
Make 2 filler blocks 10 inches long Fasten blocks se-
curely to fence. For block face pointing downward, you
may need to drill new fastener holes in the fence.

Maintenance
Always unplug the power cord before any maintenance
check on this saw.
DANGER: Never put lubricants on the blade while
it's spinning.
WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected start-
ing or electrical shock, unplug the power cord
before working on the saw.
WARNING: 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 original assem-
bly to avoid electrical hazards.
Replacing Carbon Brushes
The carbon brushes furnished will last approximately
50 hours of running time or 10.000 on/off cycles Re-
place both carbon brushes when either has less than
_.," length of carbon remaining. To inspect or replace
first unplug the saw. Then remove the black plastic cap
on the side of the motor (caution, this cap is spring
loaded by the brush assembly). Then pull out the brush.
Repeat for the other side. To reassemble reverse the
procedure. The ears on the metal end of the Drush
assembly go in the same hole the carbon part fits into
Tighten the cap snugly but do not overtighten.
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 performance
and increases wear.
Lower Blade Guard
Do not use the saw without the lower guard The lower
blade guard is attached to the saw for protection. Should
the lower guard become damaged, do not use the saw
until damaged guard has been replaced. Develop a
regular check to make sure the lower guard is working
properly. Clean the lower guard of any dust or build up
with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use solvents on the guard. They
cou d make the plastic c oudy and br tt e.
WARNING: When cleaning lower guard unplug the
saw from the outlet to avo d unexpected start-up.
Saw Dust
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the work
table and base. This could cause difficulty in the move-
ment of the work table when setting up a miter cut
Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust
WARNING: If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye
protection to keep debris from blowing into eyes.
