SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

DOUBLE

{NSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
,_

WARNING:

The double insulated system is

intended to protect the user from shock resulting
from a break in the tool's internal insulation. Observe
all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical
shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
authorized service center for repair. Always use original
factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL

EXTENSION

When working outdoors with a too!, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

CONNECTION

This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz,
AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
wil! cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.

CORDS

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting
in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord.
Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

WARNING:

Keep the extension cord clear of the

working area. Position the cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while
you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so
can result in serious personal injury.
_

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each

use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool
with a damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.

WARNING:
Always make sure the compound miter
saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an approved workstand. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.

The compound miter saw should be permanently mounted to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench.
Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw base for
this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be
bolted securely using 3/8 in. machine bolts, lock washers,
and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient
length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex
nuts, and the thickness of the workbench.
Tighten all four bolts securely.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in
figure 8. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to
make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any
tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench
to the floor before operating.

WARNING:

Hnsome operations, the work clamp

assembly may interfere with the operation of the
blade guard assembly. Always make sure there is no
interference with the blade guard prior to beginning
any cutting operation to reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.

[] Unplug the saw.
[] Loosen phillips screw on the blade bolt cover unti!
blade bolt cover can be raised.
[] Gently raise the lower blade guard bracket, releasing
lower blade guard from notch so that lower blade
guard and blade bolt cover can be rotated up and back
to expose the blade bolt.

To install the work clamp:
[] Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the
saw table base.

[] Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade
bolt until the spindle locks.

[] Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it in or out
as needed.
_b,

WARNING:

A 10 in. blade is the maximum blade

capacity of the saw. Never use a blade that is too
thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with
the fiats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in
contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades
wil! prevent the blade screw from securing the blade
on the spindle. Either of these situations could result
in a serious accident and can cause serious personal
injury.

Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the
workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead
of the work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making
the cut.

WARNING:

[] Using the blade wrench provided, loosen and remove
the blade bolt.

of this operator's manual.
[] Make sure inner blade washer is in place before
positioning blade on the spindle of the saw.
NOTE: The laser guide replaces the outer blade
washer.
[] Place the laser guide onto the spindle, aligning the
double "D" fiats in the laser guide with the flats on the
spindle.

Align the laser line and your mark with the blade at the uppermost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do not
move the workpiece until after you have finished cutting.

[] Position flat surface of laser guide against the blade.
Warning labels are visible when laser guide is mounted
properly.

As the blade assembly is lowered toward the workpiece,
the broken line will become solid.
Make several practice cuts on different styles and thickhess of material.

[] Depress spindle lock button and secure laser guide
using only the special hex key bolt provided.

Follow the directions below for using the laser guide.

NOTE: The hex key bolt has left hand threads. Turn

TO COMPOUND

MITER

[] Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence or use the optional work clamp or a
C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
NOTE: When making a 45° left miter and a bevel angle
greater than 30 °, you must use a C-clamp to secure the
workpiece or move clamp to the right side of the base.

CUT

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

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

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.
TO MAKE A COMPOUND

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always
keep hands away from cutting area. Never perform
any cutting operation freehand (without holding
workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab
the workpiece if it slips or twists.

CUT

[] Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
[] Loosen the miter lock handles.
[] Rotate the saw table until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale.
[] Retighten the miter lock handles securely.

until the electdc brake stops blade from turning before
removing the workpiece from miter table.
SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
See Figure 37,
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.

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 wil! need to fine tune your settings.
When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel
angle should be set at 33.85:. The miter angle should be
set at 31.62 either right or left, depending on the desired
cut for the application. See the chart below for correct
angle settings and correct positioning of crown molding
on miter table.
The settings in the chart on page 30 can be used for cut=
ting A!! Standard (U.S.) crown molding with 52 and 38
angles. The crown molding is placed flat on the miter table
using the compound features of the miter saw.

USING THE CROWN

MOLD-

See Figures 39 - 40.
To use this method for accurately cutting crown molding
for a 90 inside or outside corner, place the crown molding
upside down on the miter table.
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 wails do not have angles of exactly
90, therefore, you will need to fine tune your settings.

Fig. 39

When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel
angle should be set at 0. The miter angle should be set at
45 either right or Idt, depending on the desired cut for the
application.
Using the markings on the throat plate, you can accurately
cut All Standard (U.S.) crown molding with 52 and 38
angles in sizes of 2-3/4 in., 3-5/8 in., and 4-5/8 in. You
cannot use the markings on the throat plate when cutting
crown molding with 45 angles.
[] Loosen the crown molding stop by turning the knob
counterclockwise.
[] Place the stop in the hole on either the left or the right
side of the saw's base. See Figure 39.
[] With the bottom of the molding (wall side) against the
miter fence and the top of the molding (ceiling side)
against the miter table, align with the desired mark on
the throat plate then spin the crown molding stop unti!
it fits snuggly against the crown molding.

CUTTINGWARPEDMATERIAL

See Figures 41 - 42.

WARNING:

To avoid a kickback and to avoid

serious personal injury, never position the concave
edge of bowed or warped material against the fence.

When cutting warped material, always make sure it is
positioned on the miter table with the convex side
against the fence as shown in figure 41.

CLAMPING

Hfthe warped material is positioned the wrong way as
shown in figure 42, it wil! pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

WIDE WORKPIECES

See Figure 43.
When cutting wide workpieces such as a 2 in. x 6 in.,
boards should be clamped with a C-clamp as shown in

The depth stop limits the blade's downward travel. Ht
allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to
maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions
the blade 1/4 in. from the miter table support.

to heed this warning could result in serious personal
injury.
The compound miter saw has been adjusted at the fac=
tory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the
components might have moved out of alignment during
shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will
probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking
the saw, check the following adjustments before you
begin using the saw. Make any readjustments that are
necessary and periodically check the parts alignment
to make sure that the saw is cutting accurately.

NOTE: The miter table support is located inside the miter
table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the 10 in. saw blade provided with the saw.
Therefore, the saw with blade provided should never need
adjustments.
However, when the diameter of the blade has been re=
duced due to sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust
the depth stop to provide maximum cutting capacity. Also,
when a new blade is installed, it is necessary to check the
clearance of the blade to the miter table support before
starting the saw. Make adjustments if needed.

GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
_

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids,

gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which
may result in serious personal injury.

BRUSH REPLACEMENT
See Figure 46.

It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they
are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and grindings
from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool
parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used
for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on these
materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned
frequently by blowing with an air jet.

Your saw has externally accessible brush assemblies that
should be periodically checked for wear.
Proceed as follows when replacement is required:
[] Unplug the saw.
,_

[] Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush assembly
is spring loaded and wil! pop out when you remove
brush cap.
[] Remove brush assembly.
[] Check for wear. Replace both brushes when either has
less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining. Do not
replace one side without replacing the other.
[] Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure
curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and
that brush moves freely in brush tube.
[] Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and
replace.
[] Tighten brush cap securely. Do not overtighten.

LUBRICATION
All of the 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.
_

WARNING:

WARMNG:
Failure to unplug the saw could result in
accidental starting causing serious injury.

To ensure safety and reliability, all

repairs -- with the exception of the externally accessible brushes -- should be performed by a qualified
service technician at a Sears store to avoid risk of
personal injury.
