Safety Instructions For Miter Saw (continued)
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, wrist watches) They can get caught and draw
you into moving parts
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using miter
saw for hours at a time.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with
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 tile workpiece from start to fin-
ish:
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:
• Cut only one workpiece at a time
• Brace your workpiece solidly against the fence and
table lop 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 oft. Otherwise, it could get wedged against the
blade and thrown violently
• Clear everything except the workpiece and related
support devices off the table before turning the miter
SaW on.
• Secure Work. Use clamps or a vise to help hold the
work when it's practical.
Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
workpieces:
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)
for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held
down to the table top.
• Never use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as additional support for a 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 workpiece.
WARNING: If planning to cut aluminum or other
non-ferrous metals: Under adverse conditions, the
blade can grab and throw the workpiece suddenly
and unexpectedly. To avoid injury, follow all appli-
cable safety instructions, as you normally would,
and:
• Use only sawblades specifically recommended
for non-ferrous metal cutting.
• Do not cut metal workpieces that must be hand
held. Use auxiliary clamps or other equipment as
needed.
• Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are experi-
enced or under the supervision of an experienced
person.
Whenever Saw Is Running
WARNING: don't allow familiarity (gained from fre-
quent use of your miter saw) cause a careless mis-
take. 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 clea_ 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 spinnmg. 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 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 sec-
tion for fixing the blade brake before using the saw
again.
Before Leaving The Saw
Never Leave Tool Running Unattended.Turn power Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop Disconnect

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 position
by itself. At least one thread of the bolt should stick out
past the nut. If the saw will not raise by itself or if there
is play in the pivot joints the following adjustments are
necessary.
Travel Pivot Adjustments
a,Hold the pivot bolt with an adjustable or 15/16"
wrench. Loosen the hex lock nut with an adjustable
or 15/16" 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.
At least one thread of the bolt should stick out past the
nut. 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 wrench.
c Recheck bevel movement of tile miter saw. Read-
just if necessary

The depth stop limits the blades downward travel. It
allows the blade to go below the work table enough to
maintain full catting capacities. The depth stop positions
the blade 1/4" from the cast iron table support. The depth
stop is factory set and should never need adjustment
Maintaining Maximum Cutting Capacity
WARNING: to avoid injury from unexpected start-
ing or electrical shock, do not plug the saw in. The
power cord must remain unplugged whenever you
are working on the saw.
Unplug the saw before any adjustment is attempted.
This tool is factory set to provide maximum cutting capac-
ity for the 10" saw blade provided. When the diameter of
the blade has been reduced due to sharpening it may be
necessary to adjust depth stop to provide maximurn cut-
ting capacity. When a new blade is installed, it is neces
sary 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
2Use a fiat 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.
3 Lower the blade into the slot of the turn table Check
blade clearance and maximum cutting distance (dis-
tance from fence where blade enters) to front of turn
table slot Readjust if necessary

Alignment/Adjustments (continued)
Fence Positions
The miter saw has two fence positions The front fence
position is used for workpieces up to standard 2 x 4 for
cut off and bevel operation, floor and ceiling moldings,
and door casings. The rear fence position is used for cut
off and bevel operation for a standard 2 x6 workpiece.
Standard 2 x 4 measures 1-1/2" x3-1/2"
Standard 2 x 6 measures 1 1/2" x 5-1/2"
The base on either side of the work table has two sets of
holes for locating the fence. To change the fence posi-
tion. remove the two fence lock handles. Put the fence in
the other fence position and install the fence lock han-
dles
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 maximum support for the work-
piece. If it is necessary 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to change the miter position
while the fence is in the rear fence position before loos-
ening the fence lock handles. You might damage the
fence alignment arm
Removing or Installing the Blade
I WARNING: To avoid injury from a thrown work-
piece or thrown pieces of blade, do not use ablade
larger or smaller than 10" diameter.
I WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected start-
ing, unplug the saw whenever you are removing or
installing the blade.
1.Unplug the saw from the outlet.
2 Loosen the screw holding the lower guard mounting
plate to the upper guard with phillips screwdriver.
&Lift the lower guard up and tilt the lower guard assem
bly back so the arbor screw is exposed.
4Find tile arbor lock between the upper guard and the
miter saw handle Place a 1/2" box end wrench over
arbor screw.
5. Press the arbor lock and hold it in firmly while turning
the wrench clockwise. The arbor lock will engage after
some turnir_g of the wrench.
6 Remove the arbor screw, arbor washer, outer blade
collar and tile 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
the new blades.
7 Install the new 10" blade (see recommended acces-
son/ list) Make sure the rotation arrow on the blade
matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper

9. Lower the lower blade guard until the slot in mounting
['late rests all the way down on the locking screw.
Tighten the screw with phillips screwdriver.
DANGER: Never use saw without mounting plate
securely in place, it keeps the arbor screw from
falling out if it accidentally loosens, and prevents
the spinning blade from coming off the machine.
10.Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns
freely.
NOTE: The arbor lock can be damaged by improper use
If the arbor lock will net hold. lower the blade down on to a
s(:rap piece of wood positioned against the fence. This will
serve as an alternate locking means.
WARNING: Make sure the collars are clean and
properly arranged. After installing a new blade,
make sure the blade clears the table slot at the 0 °
and 45 °bevel positions, lower the blade into the
lower table and check for any contact with the
base or turn table structure.

Mounting The Saw
WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected saw
movement:
a. Before moving the saw, lock the miter and bevel
knobs and lock the power head in the lower
position. Unplug electric cord.
b. To avoid back injury, hold the tool close to your
body when lifting. Bend your knees so you can
lift with your legs, not your back. Lift by using
the hand-hold areas at each side of the bottom
of the base or by the carrying handle.
c. Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or
the trigger grip of the plastic handle. Carrying
the tool by the power cord could cause damage
to the insulation or the wire connections result-
ing 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 prop-
erly 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.

Basic Saw Operations
WARNING: For your convenient use, your saw has I
a blade brake. The brake is not a safety device.
Never rely on it to replace proper use or the guard
on your saw, If the blade does not stop within 6
seconds, unplug the saw and follow the instruc-
tions in the Trouble Shooting section for fixing the
brake before using saw again.
Body and Hand Position
Proper positioning of your budy and hands when operat-
ing the rotter saw will make cutting easter and safer.
Never place hands near cutting area Place hand at least
4" fronl path otblade Holdworkpiece fitmlytottle fen,ce
to prewmt m_vement toward the blade Keep hands m
positioi_ until trigger has been released and the blade has
co_lple el_ stopped Before makin(l a cut make a "dry
rJn" with the power off so you can see the path of the
blade
WARNING: do not try to cut short pieces, you can-
not properly support the workpiece and keep your
held down hand the required distance from the
blade.

Basic Saw Operations (continued)
Cutting Bowed Material
Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it is not
bowed. !f it is bowed the workpiece must be positioned
and cut as illustrated. Do not position workpiece incor-
rectly or t_' 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 pteces need extra supports. The supports should
be placed along the workpiece so the workpiece does not
sag and your hand holding tile workpiece is positioned 4"
or more from the blade path. The support should let the
workpiece lay flat on the base and work table during the
cutting operation

Helpful Hints When Cutting Compound
Miters
Tips for Cutting Compound Miters on Picture
Frames and Boxes
A compound miter is a cut usually 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 Com-
pound miters are "tricky" to make because the miter set-
ting 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
Tips for Cutting Moldings
A compound miter saw is also excellent for cutting mold-
ing Molding is sometimes difficult because in order to fit
correctly it must be precisely cut.
Compound Cut Box
Cutting Base Moldings
Base moldings and many other moldings can be cut on a
miter saw. The set tip of the saw depends on your mold-
ing 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, work-
piece 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 recommended accessories (Table clamp is help-
ful). Hand is holding workpiece to fence when the cuts
are made. All cuts are made at 0° bevel setting and
45 ° miter (see illustration)
NOTE: The motor mechanism and the blade diameter of
the slide compound miter saw limit the capacity of cutting
aparticular application. Always perform a dry run cut so
you can determh]e if the operation being attempted is
possible before power is applied to the saw. Larger
pieces may be cut using method 2
