FOR SAFE OPERATION

(Continued)

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD FOR
CHARGER. 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. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.

YOUR COMPOUND

WARNING:
When using a work clamp or
C-clamp to secure your workpiece, clamp
workpiece on one side of the blade only. The
workpiece must remain free on one side of the
blade to prevent the blade from binding in
workpiece. The workpiece binding the blade will
cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation
could cause an accident resulting in possible
serious personal injury.

CROSSCUTTING

•

Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with
one edge securely against the fence. If the board
is warped, place the convex side against the
fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed
against the fence, the board could collapse on the
blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.
See Figures 43 and 44.

•

When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the opposite end of the stock with a roller
stand or with a work surface level with the saw
table.

See Figure 36.
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90 ° crosscut is made with the miter table
set at the zero degree position. Miter crosscuts are
made with the miter table set at some angle other
than zero.

least 3 in. from blade. Never perform any cutting
operation freehand (without holding workpiece
against the fence). The blade could grab the
workpiece if it slips or twists.

•

Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of
the cutting operation just to make sure that no
problems will occur when the cut is made.

•

Grasp the saw handle firmly, depress the lock-off
button, then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow
several seconds for the blade to reach maximum
speed.

•

Slowly lower the blade into and through the
workpiece. See Figure 38.

COMPOUND
MITER CUT
See Figures 39 and 40.

TO MAKE A COMPOUND
MITER SAW:

A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter
angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of
cut is used to make picture frames, cut molding, make
boxes with sloping sides, and for certain roof framing
cuts.

•

Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.

•

Lift the miter table clamp.

•

Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with
the desired angle on the miter scale.

To make this type of cut the miter table must be
rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be
tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always
be taken when making compound miter setups due to
the interaction of the two angle settings.

•

Push the miter table clamp back down.

CUT WITH YOUR

Note: You can quickly locate 0 °, 22-1/2 ° left or
right, and 45 ° left or right on the scale. The miter
table can be seated in one of the positive stop
notches, located in the miter table frame.

Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interdependent with one another. Each time you adjust the
miter setting you change the effect of the bevel
setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting
you change the effect of the miter setting.

It may take several settings to obtain the desired cut.
The first angle setting should be checked after setting
the second angle, since adjusting the second angle
affects the first.
Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have
been obtained, always make a test cut in scrap
material before making a finish cut in good material.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
always push the miter table clamp back down
before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in
movement of the miter table while making a cut.

•

Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw
arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.

•

Bevel angles can be set from 0 ° to 45 °.

•
•

Align the indicator point with the desired angle.
Once the saw arm has been set at the desired
angle, securely tighten the bevel lock knob.
Recheck miter angle setting. Make a test cut in
scrap material.
Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with
one edge securely against the fence. If the board
is warped, place the convex side against the
fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed
against the fence, the board could collapse on the
blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.
See Figures 43 and 44.
When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the opposite end of the stock with a roller
stand or with a work surface level with the saw
table.
Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the
edge of saw blade.

C-CLAMP

Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or
a C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible. See Figure 39.

Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating before raising the blade out of
workpiece. Wait until the electric brake stops blade
from turning before removing the workpiece from
miter table.

LONG WORKPIECES

See Figure 41.
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports
should be placed along the workpiece so it does not
sag. The support should let the workpiece lay flat on
the base of the saw and work table during the cutting
operation. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp
to secure the workpiece.

CROWN

LAYING

MOLDING

Your compound miter saw does an excellent job of
cutting crown molding. In general, compound miter
saws do a better job of cutting crown molding than
any other tool made.
In order to fit properly, crown molding must be compound mitered with extreme accuracy.
The two contact surfaces on a piece of crown molding
that fit flat against the ceiling and the wall of a room
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 fiat against
the wall) of 38 ° .

52°

MITER

MOLDING

FLAT ON THE

TABLE

See Figure 42.
To use this method for accurately cutting crown
molding for a 90 ° inside or outside corner, lay the
molding with its broad back surface flat on the miter
table and against the fence.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound miters, remember that the settings are interdependent; changing one angle changes the other angle
as well.
Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are
very precise and difficult to set. Since it is very easy
for these angles to shift, all settings should first be
tested on scrap molding. Also, most walls do not have
angles of exactly 90 °, therefore, you will need to fine
tune your settings.

BATTERIES
The battery pack for this saw is equipped with 15
nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of
service from each charging will depend on the type of
work you are doing.

•

Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above normal room temperature
will shorten battery life.

•

Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them immediately after they are
discharged.

•

All batteries gradually lose their charge. The
higher the temperature the quicker they lose their
charge. If you store your tool for long periods of
time without using it, recharge the batteries every
month or two. This practice will prolong battery
life.

The batteries have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries,
they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble
battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries.
Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing
rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest
the following:

PREPARATION

This product contains nickelcadmium batteries. Local, state or
federal laws may prohibit disposal of
nickel-cadmium batteries in ordinary
trash.
Consult your local waste authority for information
regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.

FOR RECYCLING

WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery
pack's terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape.
Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble battery
pack or remove any of its components. Nickelcadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed
