Some dust created I_y power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known
(to the State of California) to cause cancer, birl_ defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your e:_posure to
these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

plug the tool in until you have read and understood the
following.
1. READ and become farniliarwith the entire Operators
Manual. LEARN the tool's application, limitations and
possible hazards.
2.

14.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or avise to hold work
when practical. It's safer t_an using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
15.DISCONNECT
TOOLS before the servicing, and
when changing accessories such as blades, bits and
cutters.
16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF position
before plugging the tool in.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjustingwrenches are removed from the tool before
turning ON.
4.

13.WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing
operation produces dust.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.

5. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS,
Don't use power tools in damp locations, or expose
them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lighted.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and bystanders
should be kept a safe distance from work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
8. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. Itwill do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will result in a drop in line voltage
and in loss of power which will cause the tool to
overheat. The table on page 5 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
11 .WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair,

16. USE the blade guards at all times.

17. ALWAYS keep the blade guards in place.

DOUBLE

INSULATED

The power tool is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insulation between you and tool's electrical
system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the
internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.

4. FUSES may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip
frequently if:
a. MOTOR is overloaded - overloading can occur if
you feed too rapidly or make too many start/stops
in a short time.
b. LINE VOLTAGE is more than 10% above or below

Replacement parts - When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
Polarized plugs - This saw has a plug that looks like bhe
one shown below:

the nameplate voltage rating. For heawt loads, the
voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage
specified on the nameplate.
c. IMPROPER or dull saw blades are used.
5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overload, low voltage or inadequate power
supply wiring. Always check the connections, the load
and supply circuit if the motor doesn't run well. Check
minimum gauge for the length of cord you are using on
the chart below.
GUIDELINES

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this saw 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 the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
To avoid electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a
tool with double insulation. Servicing should be performed
by a qualified technician.
2. Do not use power tools in wet or damp locations or
expose them to rain or snow.
This tool is intended for indoor use only.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
IMPORTANT:
To avoid motor damage, the motor should be blown out or
vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from interfering with
the motor ventilation.
1. CONNECT this saw to a 120V, 15 amp. 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 S/_v_. Check the saw blade
to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is free, tryto
start the saw again. If the motor still does not start, refer
to the "TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE"
3. IF the tool suddenly stalls while cutting wood, release
the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and free the blade
from the wood. The saw may now be started and the cut
finished.

FOR EXTENSION

CORDS

Use a proper extension cord. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause
overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This
circuit must not be less than # 12 wire and should be
protected with a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before
connecting the tool to the power line, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the
same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate,
running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts,
don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the miter saw.

•

Avoid accidental starting
Make sure the switch is OFF before plugging the
miter saw into a power outlet.

PLANYOURWORK
Use the right tool. Don't force a tool or attachment to
do a job itwas 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
masonry, masonry products & ferrous metals (steel, iron,
and iron-based metals.) Use this miter saw to cut only
wood & wood-like products. Other material may shatter,
bind the blade, or create other dangers. Remove all nails
that may be in the workpiece to prevent sparking that could
cause a fire.

DRESS FOR,_FETY
Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes.
This can result in permanent eye damage. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses and are not
safety glasses. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they break.
•
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, watches). They can get caught and draw you
into moving parts.
•
Wear non-slip footwear.
•
l]e back long hair.
•
Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
•
Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs when using any miter s_rw.
•
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 being cut.
Plan your work to avoid small pieces that may bind, or
that are too small to clamp and get a solid grasp on.
Plan the way you will grasp the workpiece from start to
finish. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions.
A
sudden slip could cause your fingers or hand to move into
the blade.

•

Make sure there are no gaps between the workpiece,
fence and table that will let the workpiece shitt during
the cut.

•

Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after it is
cut off. OthenMse, it could get wedged against the
blade and thrown, possibly causing injury.
Only the workpiece should be on the saw table.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to help hold the
work when it's prac_cal.

•
•

USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD SHAPED
WORKPIECE8.
•
•

•

Use extra supports (tables, sawhorses, blocks, etc.)
for workpieces large enough to tip.
Never use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as an 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 small pieces. If the
workpiece being cut would cause your hand or fingers
to be within 8-3/4" inches of the saw blade workpiece
is too small. Keep hands and fingers out of the "no
hands zone" area marked on the saws table.
When cutting odd shaped workpieces, plan your work
so it will not bind in the blade and cause possible
injury. Molding, for example, must lie fiat or be held by
a fixture or jig that will not let it move when cut.
Properly support round material such as dowel rods,
or tubing, which have atendencyto
roll when cut,
causing the blade to "bite".

To avoid injury, follow all applicable safety instructions,
when cutting non-ferrous metals:
•
Use only saw blades specifically recommended for
non-ferrous metal cutting.
•
Do not cut metal workpieces that must be hand held.
Clamp workpieces securely.
•
Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are under the
supervision of an experienced person.

WHEN SAW IS RUNNING

DON'T OVER-REACH
Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face and body
to one side, out ofthe line of a possible kickback.
NEVER
stand in the line of the blade.
Never cut freehand:
•
Brace your workpiece firmly against the fence and
table stop so it will not rock or twist during the cut.
•
Make sure there is no debris between the workpiece
and the table or fence.

Don't allow familiarity from frequent use of your miter saw
to result in a careless mistake. A careless fraction of a
second is enough to cause a severe injury.
Before cutting, if the saw makes an unfamiliar noise or
vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the saw OFF. Unplug the
saw. Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem.

BODYAND HAND POSITION (Fig. S)
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating
the miter saw will make cutting easier and safer. Never
place hands near the cutting area. Place hands at least
8-3/4" away from the path of the blade. Hold workpiece
firmly against the fence to prevent movement toward the
blade. Keep hands in position until the trigger has been
released and the blade has completely stopped. Before
making a cut, with the power switch in the OFF position
bring the saw blade dov_ to the workpiece to see the
cutting path of the blade.
*
Keep children away. Keep all visitors a safe
distance from the miter saw. Make sure bystanders
are clear of the miter saw and workpiece.
•
Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and
safer at its designed rate. Feed the saw into the
workpiece slowly with a firm downward motion.

Pull the handle-locking latch (3) to the front of the saw
and hold in position.
Rotate the handle to the desired positive stop and
release the handle locking latch.
NOTE: After releasing the handle locking latch, rotate
the handle left and right to make sure the latch
engages into the positive locking position.
Lock the handle locking lever (2) by pushing it IN
toward the rear of the handle.

BEVEL CUT (Fig. X_
The sliding fence must be extended to the left or right
when making bevel cuts.
The sliding fences note three
bevel angles where the user must adjust the fences to
match the degree of the bevel cut. Failure to extend the
sliding fence will not allow enough space for the blade to
pass through which could result in serious injury. At
ex_eme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also
contact the fence.

The right side sliding fence must be removed when making
any right bevel angle cuts greater than 35 ° in combination
with any right hand miter angle.
This fence must also be removed whenever a45 ° bevel
angle is desired with a miter angle greater than 22.5 _'.
Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle as shown on the

To avoid injury:
•
Never pullthe cuing head assembly and
spinning blade toward you during the cut. The
blade may try to climbup on the top ofthe
workpiece,causingthe cuttingassembly and
spinning blade to kick back, forcefully. The cutting
head assemblyshouldbe drawnback completely
then pushed forwardwhen sawing.
Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
Thiswillhelp reducethe risk of athrown
workpiece.

CHOP CUTTING

WIDE BOARDS

For a chop cutting operations on small workpieces,
slide _e cutting head assembly completely toward the
rear of the unit and tighten the carriage lock handle (2).
Position the cutting head to the 0° bevel position and
lock the bevel lock handle.
Position the table to the 0° miter angle and lock the
quick cam miter table lock.
Position the workpiece on the table and against the
fence. Use a hold down clamp (5) attached to the base,
whenever possible.
Pull the trigger (6), turning on the saw. Lower the blade
by pushing the handle (7) down into the workpiece with
slow and even pressure.

TO SLIDE CUT WIDE BOARDS
(FIG. BB)
1. Unlockthe carriage lock handle (1) and allow the
cutting head assembly to move freely.
2. Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the miter angle
and lock into position.
3. If bevel cutting, set both the left and right sliding fences
(2) to their proper location,
4. Use a hold down clamp to secure the workpiece.
5. Grasp the saw handle (3) and pullthe carriage (4)

USING THE STOP PLATE (Fig. EE)
Long pieces need extension table support,
1. Loosen the knob (1) then slide the extension table to
desired position and tighten the knob.
2. The stop plate is designed for use during repetitive
cutting.
Only use one stop plate at a time.
Loosen
the locking bolt (2), rotate the stop plate (3) to vertical
position, and retighten the locking bolt.

Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it isnot
bowed.
If it is bowed, the workpiece must be positioned
and cut as illustrated. Do not position the workpiece
incorrectly or try to cut the v_)rkpiece without the support of
the fence. This will cause the blade to bind and could result
in personal

injury.

ROUGH CUTTING A DADO (Fig. DD)
1. Mark lines identifying the width and depth of the
desired cut on the workpiece and position on the table
so the inside tip of the blade is positioned on the line.
Use a hold down clamp to secure the workpiece.

AUXlLARY WOOD FENCE (Fig, FF)
Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an au×iliary
wood fence (this provides additional depth of cut). This
fence should be constructed of straight auxiliary wood
appro_mately 3/4 inch thick by 3 inches high by 20-1/2
inches long. Attach the wood fence securely and make a
full depth cut to make a blade slot. Check for interference
between the wood fence and the lower blade guard. Adjust
if necessary'.
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in cut-off
pieces of one inch or less, it is possible for the saw blade
to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of the saw or into
the blade guard and housing, possibly causing damage or
injury. To minimize this an au_liary wood fence can be
mounted to your saw.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING (Fig. JJ, KK)
The right side sliding fence must be removed when making
any right bevel angle cuts greater than 35 ° in combination
wi_ any right hand miter angle.
This fence must also be removed whenever a 45 ° bevel
angle is desired with a miter angle greater than 22.5 °.
Your compound miter saw is suited for the difficult task of
cutting crown molding. To fit properly, crown molding must
be compound-mitered
with extreme accuracy. The two
surfaces on a piece of crown molding that fit flat against
the ceiling and w-all are at angles that, when added
together, equal exactly 90 ° .
Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that
fits flat against the ceiling) of 52°and a bottom rear angle
(the section that fits flat against the wall) of 38 °.

CUTTING BASE MOLDING (Fig. II)
Base moldings and many other moldings can be cut on a
compound miter saw. The setup of the saw depends on
molding characteristics and application, as shown. Perform
practice cuts on scrap material to achieve best results:
1. Always make sure moldings rest firmly against fence and
table. Use hold-down, crown molding vise or C-clamps,
whenever possible, and place tape on the area being
clamped to avoid marks.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to making
the cut. Mark the cut line directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to an incorrect blade
application and thinness of the material.

In order to accurately cut crown molding for a 90 ° inside or
outside comer, lay the molding with its broad back surface
flat on the saw table.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound
miters, remember that the settings are interdependent;
changing one changes the other, as well. Also keep in
mind that the angles from crown molding are very easy for
these angles to shift slightly, all settings should be tested
on scrap molding.
Use crown molding vise, whenever possible, and place
tape on the area being clamped to avoid marks.
There is
crown molding chart for your reference on page 25.

IVlAINTENANCE
DANGER
Never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning.
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline,
naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile
solvents to clean the miter saw.

To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical
shock, unplug the power cord before working on the saw.

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
the original assembly to avoid electrical shock.

LOWER BLADE GUARD
Do not use the saw without the lower blade guard. The
lower blade guard is attached to the saw for your
protection. Should the lower guard become damaged, do
not use the saw until the damaged guard has been
replaced. Develop a regular checkto make sure the
lower guard is working properly. Clean the lower guard of
any dust or buildup with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use solvents on the guard. They could
make the plastic "cloudy" and brittle.

When cleaning the lower guard, unplug the saw from the
power source receptacle to avoid unexpected startup.
SAWDUST

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. LL)
The carbon brushes fumished 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, or if the spring or wire is
damaged or burned. To inspect or replace brushes, first
unplug the saw. Then remove the black plastic cap (1) on
the side of the motor (2). Remove the cap cautiously,
because it is spring-loaded. Then pull out the brush and
replace. Replace the other side in the same manner. To
reassemble, reverse the procedure. The ears on the
metal end of the 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 will
avoid a break-in period.

Fig. LL

Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the work
table and base. This could cause difficulty in the
movement of the worktable when setting up a miter cut.
Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust.

If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to keep
debris from entering 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.
Lubricate the Following as Required:
Chop pi_t: light machine oil or aerosol will penetrate
from the ends of the junction points. A qualified service
technician can remove the pivot upstop to relieve tension,
and the 2 metric set screws holding the shaft, in order to
drive the shaft about 3/4" right. Exposed surfaces are
lubricated with automotive type oil.
Central pivot of plastic guard: Use light household oil
(sewing machine oil ) on metal-to-metal or
metal-to-plastic guard contact areas as required for
smooth, quiet operation. Avoid excessive oil, to which
sawdust will cling.
Link: (which actuates the lower guard movement) may be
oiled at the rear pivot, greased at ball bearing contact,
and oiled where the link actuates the acetyl roller of the
lower guard, if the down chop motion is hard to start.
