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 when you need to lift the
saw.
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.
Avoid Dangerous Environment. Use the miter saw in
a dry, indoor place protected from rain. Keep work area
wel! lighted.
Place the saw so neither the user nor bystanders are
forced to stand in line with the blade. Thrown debris
could injure people in its path.
To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
• Place the miter saw on a firm level surface where
there is plenty of room for handling and properly sup-
porting the workpiece.
• Support the miter saw so the table is level and the
saw does not rock.
•Bolt or clamp the miter 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 tool 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
or normal safety precautions when operating 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 acci-
dental 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.
lqghten the arbor screw,
lqghten the cover plate stop screw.
Check For 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 of this miter saw 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 instructions for
lubricating. DON'T put lubricants on the blade while it's
spinning.
Remove Adjusting Keys And Wrench from tool
before turning it on.
To Avoid Injury From Jams, Slips Or Thrown Pieces
•Use Only Recommended Accessories. (See
"Sears Recommends The Following Accessories"
section.) Consult this Owner's manual for recom-
mended accessories. Follow the instructions that
come with the accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Choose the right 10-inch diameter blade for the
material 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
Maintaining Maximum Cutting Capacity section.
• Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.
• Make sure the collars' recessed sides are facing the
blade.
• Using 1/2-inch box end wrench, make sure the arbor
cap screw is firmly hand tightened.
• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and there is
no excessive play in any parts.
• 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 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
applications and limitations as well as the specific
potential 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 Right Tool. 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: When cutting any metals, sparks or
hot fragments could cause a fire. To avoid this,
disconnect any dust collecting bag or hose from
the miter saw, and remove all traces of wood
dust from inside dust traps in the miter saw.
Dress For Safety
WEAR YOUR
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.
Any power miter saw can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can result in 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 glass-
es. 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.

Safety Instructions For Miter Saws (continued)
-Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jew-
elry (rings, wrist watches) They can get caught and
draw you into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
•Rol! 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
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 of saw blade, out
of line with a possible throwback.
Never cut Freehand
• 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.
• 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 could be 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 workpiece 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 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 so it will not slip and 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 applicable safety instructions, as you
normally would, and:
•Use only sawblades specifically recom-
mended 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 expe-
rienced or under the supervision of an expe-
rienced person.
Whenever Saw Is Running
WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your miter saw) cause a care-
less mistake. Acareless 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 saw off. Unplug the saw. Do
not restart until finding and correcting the problem.
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 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 saw into the workpiece only
fast enough to let the blade cut without bogging down
or binding.
4
Before freeing 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. Store tool away from chil-
dren and others not qualified to use the tool.

Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements (Continued)
110-120 Volt, 60 Hz. Tool Information
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.
Polarized Plug
Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown. 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, if 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
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
WARNING: Double insulation does not take the
place of normal safety precautions when operat-
ing this tool.
ii
Motor Safety Protection
IMPORTANT: 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 "Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart."
3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood,
release the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and free
the blade from the wood. The motor may now be
restarted and the cut finished.
Wire Sizes
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 over-
heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G) extension
cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tools plug.
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 termi-
nals must equal the voltage specified on name-
plate.
5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor-
rect connections, overload, low 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 supply circuit whenever motor
doesn't work well. Check wire sizes and length with
the Wire Size Chart below.

Removing or Installing the Blade
WARNING: To avoid injury from a thrown work-
piece or thrown pieces of blade, do not use a
blade larger or smaller than 10" diameter.
I WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected
starting, unplug the saw whenever you are
removing or installing the blade.
1. Unplug the saw from the outlet.
2. Loosen the cover plate stop screw with phillips end
of the combination wrench, supplied.
3. Lift the lower guard up and tilt the lower guard
assembly back so the arbor screw is exposed.
4. For Model 113.235221 only, find the arbor lock
between the upper guard and the miter saw handle
press the arbor lock and hold it in firmly while turn-
ing the arbor screw. The arbor lock will engage
within one revolution.
NOTE: For either saw model you may lower the blade
down on to a scrap piece of wood positioned against
the fence. This will serve as an alternate locking
means.
5. Place the 1/4" allen end of combination wrench
supplied into the arbor screw. Remove the arbor
screw, outer blade collar, and the blade.
NOTE: Pay attention to pieces removed, noting their
position and direction they face (see illustration). Wipe
the blade collars clean of any sawdust before installing
a new blade.
6. Install the new 10" blade (see recommended
accessory list). Make sure the rotation arrow on the
blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the
upper guard.
7. Install the outer blade collar, and arbor screw. Turn
the allen wrench counter clockwise to secure the
blade. Tighten arbor screw securely.
8. Lower the lower blade guard until the slot in cover
plate rests all the way down on the coverplate stop
screw. Tighten the screw with phillips end of the
combination wrench, supplied.
DANGER: Never use saw without cover plate
securely in place. It keeps the arbor screw from
falling out if it accidentally loosens, and pre-
vents the spinning blade from coming off the
machine.
9. Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade
turns freely.
NOTE: On Model 113.235221, the arbor lock can be
damaged by improper use.
WARNING: Make sure the collars are clean and

1. Loosen the phillips screw that holds the indicator in
place..
2. Reposition the indicator and retighten screw.
WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected
starting or electrical shock, do not plug the saw
in. The power cord must remain unplugged
whenever you are working on the saw.
Step Two-Bevel Adjustments
NOTE: Bevel Adjustments are only perfomred on
model 113.235221, compound miter saw. If you have BEVELPIVOT
Model 113.235110 saw, proceed to "Mounting Miter ADJUSTMENT
Saw" section.
Bevel Stop Adjustments (RECESSED)
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 knob setting. The miter lock knob
should be at the 0°position. To reset the miter angle,
turn the miter lock knob counter clockwise and press
down the index spring.
2. Lower the power head and lock the stop shaft. Make
sure the bevel index pin is pushed in. Loosen the
bevel lock knob and tilt powerhead until it contacts
the 45° stop.
3. Using the square, check for accuracy of the 45° stop
(when the blade makes contact with the full length of
the square). Do not measure across the set of a
blade tooth. Repeat this for 0° bevel. If either stop is
inaccurate, follow the alignment procedures: a
through g.
a. Using the allen wrench provided, loosen the
screw which holds the inaccurate bevel index
stop.
b. Move the power head left or right until blade
makes contact with full length of square.
c. Tighten bevel lock knob.
d. Make sure the index pin is pushed in.
e. Slide bevel index stop over until it firmly contacts
the index pin.
f. Tighten bevel index stop screw.
g. Recheck indexes for accuracy.
4. Check the bevel indicator. If indicator needs adjust-
ment use the phillips end of the combination wrench
supplied and slide the indicator to the correct reading
on the scale and retighten screw.
Bevel Pivot Adjustments
1. The miter saw should bevel easily by loosening the
bevel lock knob 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 through c.
a. Loosen the bevel lock knob.
b. Turn the hex head screw with 1/2" socket clock-
wise to tighten or counter clockwise to loosen.
c. Recheck bevel movement of the miter saw.

Mounting The Miter Saw
WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected
saw movement:
a. Before moving the saw, lock the miter (and
bevel if applicable) lock knob, and lock the
power head in the lower position using the
stop shaft. Unplug electric cord.
b. To avoid back injury, 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 or the carry handle.
c. Never carry the miter saw by the power cord
or by the trigger grip of 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 supporting 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 two sets of four holes to mount the miter saw,
four smaller holes for "Drywall" screws and four larger
holes for 5/16 bolts, (see illustration), if the saw is to be
used in one location, permanently fasten it to the work
bench or leg set.
Portable Applications
To mount the saw to a 3/4" piece of plywood, use the
5/16 bolt holes or the 4 drywall screw holes. The
mounting board can then be clamped down to prevent
it from tipping. Plywood mount also helps protect saw
from damage during the rough handling associated with
portable miter saw usage.
Work Bench Applications
Mount as specified in portable applications. Check for
workpiece clearances to left and right of saw.
Leg Set Applications
To mount saw to the mentioned leg set, use larger
holes in saw base. Attach with hardware shown,
through legset holes indicated by "e" (see illustrations).

Safety Instructions For Basic Saw Operations
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 com-
pleted.
i
•Alignment. (See "AlignmentJAdjustment" section.)
• The saw is properly mounted. (See "Mounting Miter
Saw" section).
• Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF trigger
switch, upper and lower blade guards, handle latch,
bevel clamp, cover plate stop screw, and fence
clamps (See "Alignment" section).
• Review and understand all safety instructions and
operating procedures in this manual.
• Review the maintenance methods for this miter saw.
(See "Maintenance" section).
When Installing or Moving the Miter Saw
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 you saw.
Disconnect The Miter Saw. To avoid injury from acci-
dental 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 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 of this miter saw 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 instructions 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 Recommended Accessories. (See page
24). Consult this Owner's manual for recommended
accessories. Follow the instructions that come with
the accessories. The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Choose the right 8-1/4 inch diameter blade for the
material 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 pow-
erhead 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
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. 14
Maintaining Maximum Cutting Capacity section.
• Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.
• Make sure the co!lars' recessed sides are facing the
blade.
• Using 1/2-inch box end wrench, make sure the arbor
cap screw is firmly hand tightened.
• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and there is
no excessive play in any parts.
•Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and bench-
es 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.
Avoid Accidental Starting. Make sure switch is "OFF"
before plugging miter saw into a power outlet.
Plan your work.
Use The Right Tool. 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
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.
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 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) that comply with ANSI
Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have
only impact resistance lenses. They are not safety
glasses. Safety goggles are avialable at Sears retail
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 jew-
elry (rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and
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
theblade 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.
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
safety goggles.
• Never use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as additional support for a workpiece
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
you work so it will not slip and 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 applicable safety instructions, as you
normally would, and:
•Use only sawblades specifically recom-
mended 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 expe-
rienced or under the supervision of an expe-
rienced person.
15
Safety Instructions For Basic Saw Operations (continued)-
Whenever Saw Is Running
WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your miter saw) cause a care-
less 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 saw off. Unplug the saw. Do
not restart until finding and correcting the problem.
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 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 saw into the workpiece only
fast enough to let the blade cut without bogging down
or binding.
Before freeing jammed material:
• Turn miter saw "OFF" by releasing trigger switch.
• 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 moving parts to stop.
Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect
master switches. Store tool away from children and oth-
ers not qualified to use the tool.
Basic Saw Operations
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 of
the guard on your saw. If the blade does not
stop within 6 seconds, unplug the saw and fol-
low the instructions 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 oper-
ating 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 dis-
tance from the blade.
16
Miter Cut
When a miter cut is required, loosen the miter lock
knob, depress the index spring, and move the saw to
the desired angle. Retighten miter lock knob. Do not
stand in front of the saw table. Move with the handle to
the miter angle to make the cut. E

Overriding the Bevel Stops
Use the 0° and 45c bevel stops for precise, repeatable
bevel indexing.
Occasionally, when cutting a bevel or compound cut,
you may need to set the bevel angle a small amount
beyond the 0° or 45° bevel stop. This is very easily
done by pulling the bevel index pin out and locking the
bevel knob. '@

Compound Cut
Model 113.235221 Compound Miter Saw Only:
When a compound cut is required, select the correct
bevel and miter position. Move your feet and body with
the handle to the desired miter angle to make the cut.
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 incor-
rectly 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
18
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 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 flat surface, the
miter saw table is 3-1/2" high. Two finished 2x4's on
their 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 3-1/4
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.

Helpful Hints When Cutting Compound Miters
Tips for Cutting Compound Miters on Picture Frames and
Boxes (Model 113.235221 Only)
A compound miter is a cut requiring both a miter setting and
bevel 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 adjust-
ment 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.
Tips for Cutting Moldings
A compound miter saw is also excellent for cutting molding.
Molding is sometimes difficult because in order to fit correctly
it must be precisely cut.
Cutting Base Moldings
Base moldings and many other moldings can be cut on a
miter saw. The set up of the saw depends on your molding
and your application as shown. Always make sure moldings
rest firmly against fence and table.
Cutting Crown Moldings
Plan Ahead so that you are not tempted to reach across saw
blade to steady newly severed workpiece.
Crown Moldings can be cut using two methods, workpiece
standing up (as it would be mounted on wall) and workpiece
lying flat on table (see chart and illustration).
Most Standard (U.S.) crown molding has a top rear angle
(angle that fits next to ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle
(angle that fits against wall) of 38°.
1. Workpiece standing up, usually cut inverted from ceiling
mounted orientation. Fixturing: Optional fence mounted
crown molding jigs which locate workpiece. See recom-
mended accessories. (Table clamp is helpful). Hand is
holding workpiece to fence when the cuts are made. All
cuts are made at 0° bevel setting and 45° miter (see illus-
tration).
2. Workpiece lying flat for compound cut (see chart and
illustration).

Maintenance and Lubrication
Maintenance
IANGER: 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 double
insulated. To avoid electrical shock, fire or
injury, use only parts identical to those identi-
fied in the parts list reassemble exactly as orig-
inal 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. Replace
both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4"
length of carbon remaining. To inspect or replace first
unplug 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.
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 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 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.
Lubrication
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.)
Infrequent Lubrication as Required:
1. Lubrication of arm pivot for free movement.
a. Apply oil between washer and contact face of
Table/Pivot casting.
b. Apply oil to pivot shaft next to inside surface of
ears on arm casting.
NOTE: Disassembly should be done by an authorized
service technician. Removal of the upper guard and the
stopshaft is necessary before pivot can be disassem-
bled. Pay close attention to the spring-end positions in
the castings...mark with chalk to avoid later confusion.
2. Lubrication of mechanism which pivots lower guard:
(see picture) Use light household oil (sewing
machine oil) or a pressurized light spray 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. Lubricate the lower
guard spacer, roller, pivot plate and link pivot.
3. Lubrication of miter index indents: Use a small
amount of grease on the miter index indents that are
located below the table on the front of the unit.
