additional safety instructions for miter saw

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert

and knowing how your miter saw works.

BEFORE USING THE SAW:

WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD

CAUSE SERIOUS, PERMANENT INJURY, DO NOT

PLUG THE SAW IN UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS

HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED.

1. Assembly and alignment.

2. Learn the function and proper use of:

a. The on-off switch.

b. The upper and lower blade guards.

c. The arbor lock and handle latch.

d. The bevel clamp, fence clamps, and miter lock

handle.

3. Read and understand all safety instructions and

operating procedures throughout the manual.

4. Read the following label on the miter saw:

WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVINGTHE 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 sup-

porting the workpiece.

b. Support the saw so the table is level and the saw

does not rock.

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 con-

nections could cause a fire.

4. Place the saw so others will stay out from behind it.

Thrown debris could injure people in its path.

BEFORE EACH USE:

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.

a. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply

with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package). Using any

power tool can result in foreign objects being

thrown into the eyes, which can result in perma-

nent eye damage. Safety goggles are available

at Sears retail catalog stores. Use of glasses or

use of goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.t

could result in severe injury from breakage of the

eye protection.

WEAR YOUR

b. For dusty operations, wear a face shield along

with safety goggles.

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.

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. 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, make

the adjustments shown in the Maintaining

Maximum Cutting Capacity section.

4. Make sure the blade and arbor collars are

clean,

5. Make sure the collars' recessed sides are fac-

ing toward the blade.

6. Make sure the recessed side of the blade

washer (just under the arbor screw head)

faces the collar.

7. Using l_._-inch box end wrench, make sure the

arbor cap screw retaining the blade collars is

firmly hand tightened

8 Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and

there is no excessive play in any parts.

9. Never cut FREEHAND:

a 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.

b Make sure no gaps between the work-

piece, fence and table will let the workpiece

shift after it is cut in two.

c Use jigs, fixtures or a different tool for un-

stable workpieces. 3

10. Never cut more than one workpiece at a time,

11. Make sure the cut off piece can move side-

ways 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 work-

pieces, 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 ten-

dency 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 ob-

jects 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 clear-

ing 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.

4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

f. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always

unplug saw before disconnecting the guard, in-

stalling 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 acces-

sories 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 RE-

MEM BER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SEC-

OND 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

unplug the saw. Wait for all moving parts to stop,

7. 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.

WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRICAL HAZARDS,

FIRE HAZARDS, OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL, USE

PROPER CIRCUIT PROTECTION. YOUR SAW IS

WIRED AT THE FACTORY FOR 120V OPERATION.

CONNECT TO A 120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT

AND USE A 15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT

BREAKER. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF POWER

CORD IS WORN OR CUT, OR DAMAGED IN ANY

WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

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.

This power tool is equipped with a 2-conductor cord

listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The plug

permits you to use any conventional 120-volt electrical

outlet without necessity for maintaining a ground

connection.

CAUTION: Double insulation does not take the

place of normal safety precautions when operating

this tool.

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

CAUTION: 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 "MotorTrouble-Shooting Chart."

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

lease 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. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED--Overloading can

occur if you feed too rapidly or make too many

start/stops in a short time.

b. Voltages not more than 10% above or below the

nameplate voltage can handle normal loads. For

heavy loads, however, the voltage at motor

terminals must equal the voltage specified on

nameplate.

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor-

rect connections, overload, tow voltage (such as

small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long

supply circuit wire. Always check the connections,

the load and the suppy c_rcu_t whenever motor

doesnt work well Check wire s_zes and length with

Assembly and Alignment

Step One--Blade Square to Table

NOTE: The miter saw was assembled, aligned, and

inspected before shipment. Alignment should be

checked and any adjustments made to insure accurate

cuts.

1. Check miter lock handle setting, The miter lock han-

dle should be at the 0° position. To reset the miter

angle, turn the miter lock handle counter clockwise

and press down the index spring.

2. Lower the blade and lock the handle latch. Use the

combination square to check blade squareness to

table. If the blade does not contact the full length of

the square, follow the alignment procedure.

a. Loosen bevel lock handle.

b. Grasping metal upper guard, move the cutting

head left or right until blade makes contact with

the full length of the square.

c. Tighten the bevel IocX handle.

3, Check the bevel indicator. If indicator needs adjust-

ment use a phi/lips screwdriver and slide the

indicator to the 0° on the scale.

8.'.'

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 5/16"hex "U' 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 isfully tilted to the left.

TURN TABLE

SLOT

Step Three-- 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 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

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_A6"wrench.

Loosen the hex lock nut with an adjustable or Is/,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 pivot. 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 _5/1_"

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 full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions

the blade 1/_,,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

STARTING OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOTPLUG

THE SAW IN. THE POWER CORD MUST REMAIN

UNPLUGGED WHENEVER YOU ARE WORKING ON

THE SAW.

Unplug the saw before any adjustment is attempted.

This too! is factory set to provide maximum cutting

capacity for the 10" saw blade provided. When the

diameter of the blade has been reduced clue to sharpen-

ing, it may be necessary to adjust depth stop to provide

maximum cutting capacity. When a new blade is in-

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.

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 2x 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.

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 work-

piece If it _snecessary 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

the trigger to stop the miter saw.

MOUNTING THE SAW

WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED

SAW MOVEMENT:

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.

BASIC SAW OPERATIONS

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ AND

UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND

OPERATING PROCEDURES THROUGHOUT THE

MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS TOOL.

BEFORE EACH USE:

1. Inspect your saw. Replace damaged, missing, or

failed parts before using the saw.

2. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with

ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).

3. For dusty operations, wear a face shield along with

safety goggles.

4. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:

a. 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 ma-

terials may shatter, grab at the blade, or create

other dangers.

WARNING: IF PLANNING TO SAW ALUMINUM

OR OTHER NON-FERROUS METALS:

• UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS, THE

BLADE CAN GRAB WORKPIECE SUD-

DENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, THIS PRE-

SENTS RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL

INJURY TO THE OPERATOR OR BY-

STANDERS.

•USE ONLY SAWBLADE SPECIFICALLY

RECOMMENDED FOR NON-FERROUS

METAL CUTTING.

• THE BLADE PROVIDED WITH YOUR SAW

IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR METAL

CUTTING.

• DO NOT CUT METAL WORKPIECES THAT

MUST BE HAND HELD: USE AUXILIARY

CLAMPS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT AS

APPROPRIATE.

• OPERATOR MUST BE EXPERIENCED IN

CIRCULAR SAWING OF NON-FERROUS

METALS OR UNDER SUPERVISION OF AN

EXPERIENCED PERSON.

b, Make sure the direction of rotation arrow on the

blade matches the direction arrow on the saw.

The teeth of the blade should always point down-

ward at the front of the saw.

c. Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and

properly aligned.

d. Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.

e. Make sure the collars' recessed sides are facing

toward the blade.

f. Make sure the recessed side of the blade washer

(just under the arbor screw head) faces the collar.

g. Using a X_"box end wrench, make sure the arbor

screw retaining the blade collars is firmly hand

tightened.

h. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and

there _s no excessive play in any parts.

m O

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 work-

piece 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.

13. Never turn your miter saw "ON" before clearing

everything except the workpiece and related sup-

port 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.

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 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 WORK-

PIECE AND KEEP YOUR HOLD DOWN HAND THE

REQUIRED DISTANCE FROM THE BLADE.

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

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 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,

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

SUPPORT

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.

it)

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 moldin 9 must be

placed on the table L_ps_de 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 wail.

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 and lubrication

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

STARTING OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, UNPLUG THE

POWER CORD BEFORE WORKING ON THE SAW.

WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY, THIS SAW IS DOU-

BLE INSULATED. TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK,

FIRE OR INJURY, USE ONLY PARTS IDENTICAL TO

THOSE IDENTIFIED IN THE PARTS LIST. REASSEM-

BLE EXACTLY AS ORIGINAL ASSEMBLY 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

1,_-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 brush

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

win 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

could make the plastic "cloudy" and brittle.

WARNING: WHEN CLEANING LOWER GUARD UN-

PLUG 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 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 BLOW-

ING INTO EYES.
