GUiDELiNES
FOR EXTENSION
CORDS

l

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 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.

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.

WARNING]

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.
MOTOR SAFETY
iMPORTANT

Use a separate
electrical
circuit for your tools.
This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire with a
20 A time lag fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time lag
fuse. NOTE: When using an extension cord on a
circuit with a #14 wire, the extension cord must not
exceed 25 feet in length. 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.

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, woodlike products, or non-ferrous
metals. 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. Remove dust bag when
cutting non-ferrous
metals.

USE EXTRA CAUTION WiTH LARGE OR ODD
SHAPED WORKPIECES.
• 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 the 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 flat 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 a tendency
to roll when cut, causing the blade to "bite".

WARNING]

The sliding fence must be extended to the left
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 extreme miter or bevel angles the
saw blade may also contact the fence.
BEVEL CUT (FIG. Z)
1. When a bevel cut is required, loosen the bevel
lock handle (1) by turning it clockwise•
2. Tilt the cutting head to the desired angle, as
shown on the bevel scale (2).
3. The blade can be positioned at any angle,
from a 90 ° straight cut (0 ° on the scale) to a
45 ° left bevel• Tighten the bevel lock handle (1)
to lock the cutting head in position• Positive
stops are provided at 0°, 33.9 ° and 45 °.

COMPOUND CUT (FIG. BB)
A compound cut is the combination of a miter
and a bevel cut simultaneously•
1. Loosen the bevel lock handle (1) and position
the cutting head at the desired bevel position•
Lock the bevel lock handle•
2. Loosen the miter handle (2). Lift up the
positive stop locking lever (3) and position
the table at the desired angle• Release the
positive stop locking lever and lock the miter
handle•

33,9 ° BEVEL STOP FOR CROWN MOLDING
(FIG. AA)
1. Push the bevel detent stop pin (2) in toward
the front of the machine.
2. Loosen the bevel lock handle (1).
3. Rotate the cutting head until the bevel detent
pin stops the bevel angle at 33.9 ° on the
bevel scale.
4. Tighten the bevel lock handle before making
a cut.

Fig. AA

To avoid injury:
• Never pull the cutting head assembly and
spinning blade toward you during the cut.
The blade may try to climb up on the top of
the workpiece, causing the cutting assembly
and spinning blade to kick back, forcefully•
The cutting head assembly should be drawn
back completely then pushed forward when
sawing•
• Let the blade reach full speed before cutting•
This will help reduce the risk of a thrown
workpiece.
To Slide Cut Wide Boards (Fig. CC)
1. Unlock the 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. Use a hold down clamp to secure the
workpiece.
4. Grasp the switch handle (2) and pull the
carriage (3) forward until the center of the saw
blade is over the front of the workpiece (4).
5. Engage the trigger to turn the saw on.
6. When the saw reaches full speed, push the
switch handle down, slowly, cutting through
the leading edge of the workpiece.

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. FF)
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 auxiliary wood fence
can be mounted to your saw.
Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach
an auxiliary wood fence. This fence is to be
constructed of straight wood approximately 3/4
in. thick by 2-1/2 in. high by 18 in. 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.

Fig.DD

NOTE: This auxiliary fence is used only with
the saw blade in the 0 ° bevel position (90 ° to
the table). The auxiliary wood fence must be
removed when bevel cutting.
Fig.FF

CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. EE)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned against
the fence and secured with a clamping devise
before cutting as shown. Do not position
workpiece incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece
without the support of the fence. This will cause
the blade to bind and could result in personal
injury.

CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG. GG)
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.

NOTE: Always perform a dry run cut so you can
determine if the operation being attempted is
possible before power is applied to the saw.
CUTTING CROWN MOLDING (FIG. HH, II)
Your compound miter saw is suited for the
difficult task of cutting crown molding. To fit
properly, crown molding must be compoundmitered with extreme accuracy. The two surfaces
on a piece of crown molding that fit flat against
the ceiling and wall 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 ° .

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. JJ)
Replace both carbon brushes when either has
less than 1/4 in. 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). Carefully remove the springloaded cap. Then pull out the brush and replace.
Replace for the other side. 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: When reinstalling the same brushes,
put them back in the way they came out. This
will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor
performance and increases wear.
