POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
The AC motor used in this saw is a universal,
nonreversible type. See "MOTOR" in the
"PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" section on page
2.
l,& WARNING I
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards,
or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection. Your saw is wired at the factory
for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 15
A circuit and use a 15 A 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.
![](asset-7.png)
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS - cont'd
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.
Replacement parts -When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts.
Polarized plugs - This saw has a plug that looks
like the one shown below:
l
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.
i,_ 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 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 120 V circuit. This circuit
must not be less than a #12 wire with a 20 A
time lag fuse ora #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.
2. If the motor will not start, release the trigger
switch immediately. UNPLUG THE SAW.
Check the saw blade to make sure it turns
freely. If the blade is free, try to 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.
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 the nameplate voltage rating. For
heavy 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 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 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 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, wood-
like 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.
DRESS FOR SAFETY
O ny 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.
• Tie 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 saw.
• 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.
workpiece, fence and table that will let the
workpiece shift after it is cut.
• Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways
after it is cut off. Otherwise, it could get
wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
• Only the workpiece should be on the saws
table.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to help
hold the work when it's practical.
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 ]
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 and
the dust bag has been removed from the saw.
DO NOT OVER-REACH
Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face
and body to one side, out of the 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.
WHEN SAW IS RUNNING
[,_ WARNING ]
Do not 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
® Make sure there are no 9a£s between the finding and correcting the problem.

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.
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.

miter at 45°, bevel at 0° miter at 0°, bevel at 450
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 compound-
mitered 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 ° .
In order to accurately cut crown molding for a
90° inside or outside corner, 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.

MAINTENANCE
i_ WARNING i
Never put lubricants on the blade while it is
spinning.
,_ WARNING
•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.
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 spring-
loaded 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.
Fig. JJ
I,A WARNING]
•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 start-up.
SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the
worktable 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.
l,_ WARNING]
if blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection
to keep debris from blowing into eyes.
LUBRiCATiON (FIG. KK)
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 necessary:
Chop pivot: Apply light machine oil to points
indicated in illustration.
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: (actuates lower guard movement) If down
chop motion is hard to start, oil link at two screws
(1).

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. Check
regularly to make sure the lower guard is working
properly. Clean the lower guard of any dust or
buildup with a damp cloth.
