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

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 applicable 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 auxiliary clamps or other
equipment as needed.
Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are experienced or under the supervision of an experienced person.

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:

Whenever

• 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.

Saw Is Running:

WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your miter saw) cause a careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.

• Make sure there's no debris between the werkpiece
and its supports.
• Make sure no gaps between the workpiece fence
and table wit! let the workpiece shift after it is cut in
two

Before starting your cut, watch the miter saw while
runs If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot,
stop immediateIy. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do
not restart until finding and correcting the problem

• Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after
it's cut off. Otherwise it could get wedged against the
biade and could be thrown violently.
• Clear everything except the workpiece ann related
support devices off the table before turning the miter
saw on

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 p_ece being cut off Never hold it,
clamp it, touch it, or use length stops against it while the
bIade is spinning. It must be free to move sideways on
its own If confined, it could gel wedged against the
blade and thrown viotentiy.

• Secure Work. Use clamps or a vpse to help hold the
work when it's practical
Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
workpieces:

Let the blade reach fbll speed before cutting

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

DOn't Force Tool. It will do the job better and safer at
its designed rate. Feed the saw into the werkpiece only
fast enough to tel the blade cut without bogg_ng down
or b riding

Never use another person as a substitute fo_ a table
extension, or as additiona! support for a workpiece
tnat is longer or wider than the basic miter saw table

Before freeing jammed material:
Turn switch 'OFF"

Do not use this saw to cut pieces too small to iet you
easiIy hold the work. The thumb side of your index
(pointer) finger should not be closer to the blade than

The miter saw is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insuletion between you and the tool's electrical 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, ff 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
out_et. Do not change the plug in any way.

WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage, or damage to the tool, use prop*
er circuit protection. Your saw is wired at the factory for 120v operation. Connect to a 120v, 15amp 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.

WARNING: Double insulation does not take the
place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool.

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

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 overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G) extension

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."

"Troub!e 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 of this miter saw is m_ssing, bent, or broken
in any way, or any electrical parts don't work, turn the
saw off and unplug it. Replace damaged, rniss_ng, or
failed parts before using the saw again

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.

Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to
finish:

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 potential hazards peculiar to this tool.

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:

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.

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 workp_ece
and its supports,
Make sure no gaps between the workpiece, fence
and table wil! let the workpiece shift after it is cut in
two,

Use The Right Tool. Don't force tool or attachment to
do a iob it was not designed to do Use a different tooi
for any workpiece that can't be held in a solidly braced
fixed position.

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.

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,

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

CAUTION: When cutting any metals, sparks or
hot fragments could cause a fire. To avoid this,
disconnect any dust collecting hose from the
miter saw, and remove all traces of wood dust
from inside dust traps in the miter saw.

Dress

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 workpiece
that is _onger or wider than the basic miter saw table
or to he_pfeed, support or pull the workpiece.

For Safety.

Any power miter saw can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage, Wear
safety goggles (not glasses) trlat comply with ANSI
Z87 1 (shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have
only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail stores
Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87 1
could seriously hurt you when they break.

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.

Do not wear loose c!othtng, gloves, neckties or jew
elry (ring& wrist watches), They can get caught and
draw you into moving parts.
Wear nonslip footwear.
Tie back tong hair
Roll Iong 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
safety goggles.
Inspect your workpiece.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
Dart 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.

When cutting irregularly
shaped workp_eces,
clan
your work so it will not slip and pincl" the blade and
be torn from your hands. A piece of molding, for
example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture or jg
that witl not let it twist rock or shp 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 hod your work
piece

Keep Children Away. Keep all visitors a safe distance
from the miter saw Make sure bystanders are clea_ of
the miter saw and workp_ece
Never confine the #ece being cut off Never hold it
clamp it, touch it, or use ength stops against it while the
blade is spinning it must be free to move sideways on
its own. If confi_led it could get wedged against the
blade and thrown vioiently.
Let the blade reach f@1speed before cutting.
Don't Force Tool. it will do the job better and safer at
itsdesigned rate Feed the saw into the workpiece only
fast enough to et time biade cut without bogging down
or binding
Before freeing jammed material:
Turn switch "OFF'

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 applicable 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 auxiliary clamps or other
equipment as needed.
Cut non-ferrous
metals only if you are experienced or under the supervision of an experienced person.

(Continued)

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 posi
tioned 4" or more from the blade path The support
should let the workpiece lay fiat on the base and work
table during the cutting operation
NOTE: When mounted on a large fiat surface, the
miter saw table is 3-1/2" high. Two finished 2x4s on
there sides can be used as work support extension.

Auxiliary Fence
Certain types of molding need a fence face extension
due to the size and position of the workpiece. Slots are
provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence. Get a
straight piece of wood typically 1/2 inch thick by 4 t/4
inches high by 19 1/4 inches long To attach auxiliary
fence, place the piece of wood on the miter saw fence,
Mark the locations from the backside of the miter saw
fence. Drill .200"-.250" holes, then countersink the
holes on front of wood to receive #10 flat head screws
Attach the auxiliary fence securely and make a full
depth cut. This will create the blade slot. Check for
interference between the auxiliary fence and lower
blade guard, Correct any interference before proceed
ing. 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.

Tips for Cutting Compound

Miters

Tips For Cutting Crown Molding Lying Flat

Model 113.235200 Only:

A compound miter is a cut requiring both a miter setting
and bevei setting. A compound miter is used for making
frames or boxes that have sloping sides and are wide
at one end and narrow at the opposite end. Compound
miters are "tricky" to make because the miter setting
and bevel setting are directly related to each other
Every time the miter setting is changed the bevel setting must also be adjusted; likewise every adjustment to
bevel requires a corresponding adjustment to miter
Because it may take several tries to obtain the desired
angle it as advisable to make test cuts in a scrap piece
of material.

A compound miter saw is excellent for cutting crown
molding. Crown molding is difficult to cut because _n
order to fit correctly it must be precisely mitered.
All Standard (U.S.) crown molding has a top rear angle
(fits next to ceiling) of 52 ° and a bottom rear angle (fits
against wall) of 38"
NOTE: Above angles assume that the constructed wail
corner is exactly 90 °. In typical construction, this is not
always the case. Measure wall and make necessary
adjustments to angles.

Cutting Crown Moldings

Inside
Corner

Plan Ahead so that you are not tempted to reach
across saw blade to steady newly severed workpiece.
Two Methods to Cut Crown Moldings
1. Workpiece standing up, usually cut inverted from
ceiling mounted orientation. Fixturing: Accessory
mounted crown molding jigs which locate workpiece
See recommended accessories. (Table clamp is
helpful). Hand is on fence when the cuts are made.
All cuts are made at 0 ° bevel setting.

Outside
Corner

Alternate fix_uring: Auxiliary fence as shown on page

Maintenance
DANGER: Never put lubricants
while it's spinning.

NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure
the brushes go back in the way they came out This wil!
avoid a break in period that reduces performance and
increases wear.
Lower Blade Guard

on the blade

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.

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 double
insulated. To avoid electrical shock, fire or
injury, use only parts identical to those identified in the parts list reassemble exactly as original assembly to avoid electrical hazards.

CAUTION: Do not use solvents on the guard.
They could make the plastic "cloudy" and brittle..
WARNING: When cleaning lower guard unplug I
the saw from the outlet to avoid unexpected
start-up.

Replacing Carbon Brushes

Saw Dust

The carbon brushes furnished will last approximately 50
hours of running time or 10,000 on/off cycles. Replace
both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4"
length of carbon remaining. To inspect or replace first
unpIug the saw. Then remove the motor cap on the end
of the motor by removing 2 screws Remove the lead
wires from the tabs on the brushes, then pull out the
brushes. To reassemble reverse the procedure. Tighten
the screws snugly but do not overtighten.

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
WARNING: If blowing sawdust, wear proper
eye protection to keep debris from blowing into
eyes.

Lubrication
AII 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.)
