c. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:
t. Choose the right 10-inch diameter blade for
the material and the type of cutting you plan
to do. Use this miter saw to cut only wood,
wood-like
products
or soft
metals
like
aluminum.
Other materials may shatter, grab
at the blade, or create other dangers.

SAW:

1. To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
a. Place the saw on a firm level surface where there
is plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
b. Support the saw so the table is level and the saw
does not rock.

2, Make sure the direction of rotation arrow on
the blade matches the direction arrow on the
saw. The blade teeth should always point
downward
at the front of the saw.
3.

c. Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
2. Before moving the saw, lock the miter, bevel and
power-head positions. Unplug electric cord.
3. 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. Never carry the tool by
the cord or power head handle. Damage to insulation
could cause an electric shock. Damage to wire connections could cause a fire.
4. Place the saw so others will stay out from behind it.
Thrown debris could injure people in its path.

EACH USE:

Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged
and properly aligned. With the saw unplugged,
push the power-head all the way down. Hand
spin the blade and check for clearace. Tilt the
power-head
to 45 degree bevel and repeat
the check. If the blade hits anything,

1. Inspect your saw. If any part of this miter saw is
missing, or bent, or has failed in any way, or any
electrical parts don't work properly, turn the saw off
and unplug the saw. Replace damaged, missing, or
failed parts before using the saw again.
2. Plan Your Work to protect your eyes, hands,
face, ears.

Brace your workpiece
solidly against the
fence and table top so it wil! not rock or
twist during the cut. Make sure no debris
is caught beneath the workpiece.

Make sure no gaps between
the workpiece, fence and table will let the workpiece
shift after it is cut in two.

10. Never cut more than one workpiece at a time,
11. Make sure the cut off piece can move sideways after it's cut off, Otherwise, it could
get wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
12. Use extra caution with large, very small or
awkward workpieces:
a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
block& etc.) for any workpieces large
enough to tip when not held down to the
table top.
b. 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.
c. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip
and pinch the blade. 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.
d. 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.
13, Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
14. Make sure bystanders are clear of the tool
and workpiece Keep them clear of the area
behind the saw where debris wilt be thrown.
15. Never turn your miter saw "ON" before clearing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.
d. To avoid risk of hearing damage, wear ear plugs
or muffs during extended periods of operation.
e. To avoid being suddenly pulled into the blade:
1. Do not wear gloves.
2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.
3. Tie back long hair.

f. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
unplug saw before disconnecting the guard, installing or removing any blade, accessory or
attachment, or making any adjustments.
g, To avoid an electrical shock, make sure your
fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the plug
when inserting or remowng the ptug to or from
a live outlet.
h. Never put lubricants on the blade while it's
spinning,
i. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use
the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
j. To avoid injury from unsafe accessories, use only
accessories shown on the recommended accessories list in this manual.

WHENEVER

SAW IS RUNNING:

WARNING: DON'T ALLOW FAMILIARITY (GAINED
FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR MITER SAW) TO
CAUSE A CARELESS MISTAKE. ALWAYS REMEM BER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SEVERE INJURY.
1. Before actually cutting with the saw, let it run for a
while. If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it
vibrates excessively, stop immediately. Turn the saw
off. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and
correcting the problem.
2, Never confine the piece being cut off. Never hold it,
ctamp it, touch it, or use length stops against it. It
must be free to move sideways If confined, it could
get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
3. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the blade.
4. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
5. Feed the saw into the workpiece only fast enough
to let the blade cut without bogging down or binding.
6. Before freeing jammed material, release switch and

Step Three-- Checking and Adjusting Blade Squareness to Fence (Front Fence Position)
1. To check blade squareness to fence, use a combination 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 lowered 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 bolt.s 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
W' 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

table slot. Readjust if necessary.
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 DURING
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
.-',Jtoff and bevel operation, floor and ceiling moldings,
and door casings. The rear fence position is used
for cut off and beve_ operation for a standard 2 x 6
workpiece.
Standard 2 x 4 measures if/2 '' x 31/2"
Standard 2 x 6 measures 1'/_" x 5v2"
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 install the fence
lock handles.

FRONT FENCE POSITION

The rear fence position is designed to slide side to side
when the miter setting is changed This feature lets the
fence move to provide maxtmum support for the workpiece If it _snecessary to change the miter cut in the
rear position, first loosen the fence lock handles. Release the miter lock handle and move it to the desired
miter angle Tighten the miter lock handle and the fence
lock handles.

7. Never cut FREEHAND:
a. Brace your workpiece solidly against the fence
and table top so it will not rock or twist during
the cut. Make sure there is no debris caught
beneath the workpiece.
b. Make sure no gaps between the workpiece,
fence and table will cause shifting after the workpiece is cut in two.
c. Use jigs, fixtures or a different tool for unstable
workpieces.
8. Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.
9. Make sure the cut off piece can move sideways
after it's cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
10. Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
workpieces:
a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks,
etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip
when not held down to the table top.
b. 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.
c. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces.
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the
blade. 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.
d. Properly support round material such as dowel
rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to rol!
while being cuL causing the blade to "bite." To
avoid this, use a fixture designed to properly
hold your work piece.
11. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in
the part of the workpiece to be cut.
12. Make sure bystanders are clear of the tool and
workpiece. Keep them clear of the area behind the
saw where debris will be thrown.

Body and Hand Position
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating 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 toward 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 BLADE.

13. Never turn your miter saw "ON" before clearing
everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table.
14. To avoid risk of hearing damage, wear ear plugs
or muffs during extended periods of operation.
15. To avoid being sudden!y pulled into the blade:
a. Do not wear gloves.
b. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.
c. Tie back long hair.
d. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
16. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the
saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING:
17, Before actually cutting with the saw, let it run for a
while. If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if
it vibrates excessively, stop immediately. Turn the
saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding
and correcting the problem.
18. Never confine the piece being cut off. Never hold
it clamp it, touch it. or use length stops against it.
It must be free to move sideways. If confined, it
could get wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
19. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the blade.
20. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
21. Feed the saw into the workpiece only fast enough
to let the blade cut without bogging down or binding.
22. Before freeing jammed material, release switch and
unplug the saw. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
23. After finishing a cuL keep holding the power-head
down, release the switch, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before moving your hands.

Miter Cut
When a miter cut is required, move the saw to the
desired angle. Do not stand in front of the saw table.
Move with the handle to the miter angle to make the cut.
NOTE: Remember to loosen the fence lock handles
before changing the miter angle with the fence in the
rear position.

Bevel Cut
When a bevet cut is required, tilt the blade to desired
bevel angle. Stand to the left side of the handle to make
the cut.

03 3
ee

Compound Cut
When a compound cut is required, select the correct
bevel and miter position. Move with the handle to the
miter angle to make the cut. If the fence is in the rear
position, loosen the two lock handles before changing
the miter angle.

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 workpiece 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,

CORRECT

INCORRECT

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 lie fiat on the base and work
table during the cutting operation.

WORKPIECE

WORKPIECE

Auxiliary Fence
Certain types of molding need a fence face extension
due to the size and position of the workpiece. HoPes
are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence
made of straight wood typically v_ 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.

Moldings

placed

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

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,

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 wail.
Make 2 filler blocks 10 inches long, Fasten blocks securely to fence, For block face pointing downward, you
may need to drill new fastener holes in the fence.

Lower Blade Guard

Lubrication

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,

All the motor bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions,
therefore.
no further lubrication is required. (See below.)

CAUTION: Do not use solvents on the guard. They
could make the plastic "cloudy" and brittle.
WARNING: WHEN CLEANING LOWER GUARD UNPLUG THE SAW FROM THE OUTLET TO AVOID
UNEXPECTED START-UP.
Saw Dust
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the work
table and base. This could cause difficulty in the movement of the work table when setting up a miter cut.
Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust

Infrequent Lubrication as Required:
1. Lubrication of arm pivot for free movement.
a. By loosening nut and applying oil to washer and
to contact face (minor).
b. Dis-assembly means required to grease pivot bolt
and contact faces (major).
NOTE: Disassembly should be done by an authorized service technician. Removal of the upper
guard and the bolt stop is necessary before pivot
can be disassembled. Pay close attention to the
spring-end positions in the castings....mark with
chalk to avoid later confusion.

t-.

2. Lubrication of mechanism which pivots lower guard:
Use light household oil (sewing machine oil) on
metal-to-metal or metal-to-plastic guard contact
areas as required for smooth, quiet operation, Avoid
excess oil, to which sawdust will cling.
