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 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.

EXTENSION 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 deter-

mine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord.

Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Labora-

tories (UL) should be used.

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.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

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.

MOUNTINGHOLES

See Figure 8.

_ WARNING: Always make sure the compound miter

saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an ap-

proved workstand. Failure to heed this warning can

result in serious personal injury.

The compound miter saw should be permanently mount-

ed 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.

TABLEEXTENSIONS

See Figures 12- 13.

Hfyou p}an to use the stop block, slide the stop block on

the back arm of the desired tame extension first.

To install table extensions, insert the ends of extensions

into the holes in the sides of the base. Adjust the exten-

sions to the desired length.

Secure them in place by positioning a clamp bracket un-

der each table extension beneath the miter table. Orient

each clamp bracket as shown in figure 13.

Secure each clamp bracket in place with a clamp bracket

screw. The clamp bracket screw threads through the

clamp bracket and tightens against bracket support on

bottom of miter table, securing clamp bracket against

table extension.

_ WAF{NING, When using the work clamp with the

stop block, install the clamp on the same side as the

stop block. This wilt eliminate the possibility of trap-

ping the workpiece, resulting in the saw blade and

workpiece kicking up. Failure to heed this warning

can result in serious personal injury.

WORKCLAMP

See Figure 14.

The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the

workpiece to the fence or the saw table, ff also prevents

the workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is

very helpful when cutting compound miters.

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: 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.

To install the work clamp:

[] Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the

saw table base.

[] Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it in or out

as needed.

_b, WARNING: When using any clamp with a stop

block, install the clamp on the same side as the

stop block. This wil! eliminate the possibility of trap-

ping the workpiece, resulting in the saw blade and

workpiece kicking up. Failure to heed this warning

can result in serious personal injury.

,_k 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.

[] 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.

[] Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade

bolt until the spindle locks.

[] Using the blade wrench provided, loosen and remove

the blade bolt.

NOTE: The blade bolt has left hand threads. Turn blade

_, DANGER: Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact

with light source.

ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE

See Figure 19.

The laser guide wil! generate a red colored line on the

work surface when the blade is spinning above 500 rpm.

The red laser line will appear as a broken line on the

workpiece when the blade assembly is in the uppermost

position and the motor switch is activated. This broken

line will let you see your mark and your laser guide line at

the same time, and wil! assist you in lining up your mark

for more accurate cutting of the workpiece.

Align the laser line and your mark with the blade at the up-

permost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do not

move the workpiece until after you have finished cutting.

As the blade assembly is lowered toward the workpiece,

the broken line will become solid.

Make several practice cuts on different styles and thick-

hess of material.

Follow the directions below for using the laser guide.

Removing Your Mark:

Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark on

the work surface in order to remove the mark.

To Out Your Mark:

Position the laser line near or over your mark on the work

surface in order to cut the mark.

To Leave Your Mark:

Position the laser line near the right edge of your mark on

the work surface in order to leave the mark.

After you have become familiar with using the laser guide,

you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your mark on the

work surface. Practice will teach you the correct position

for aligning the laser line with your mark.

BEVEL CUT

TO COMPOUND MITER 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.

Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interde-

pendent 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 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.

,_ WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always

tighten the miter lock handle securely before making

a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of

the control arm or 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°.

[] 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, jam-

ming the blade.

[] When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, sup-

port 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.

[] 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.

_ 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.

[] Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut-

ting operation just to make sure that no problems wil!

occur when the cut is made.

[] Grasp the saw handle firmly then squeeze the switch

trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach

maximum speed.

[] Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

[] Release the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop

rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait

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.

LAYINGMOLDINGFLATONTHE MITERTABLE

See Figure 38.

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 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.

CUTTING MOLDING USING THE CROWN MOLD-

iNG STOP

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.

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.

[] Secure the crown molding stop in place by turning the

knob clockwise.

[] Hold the crown molding in place with your hand (the

side not secured with the stop).

NOTE: NEVER have your hand inside the no hands

zone while the saw is on.

[] S!owly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

[] Release the switch trigger and allow the 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.

CUTTINGWARPEDMATERIAL

See Figures 41 -42.

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.

Hfthe warped material is positioned the wrong way as

shown in figure 42, it wil! pinch the blade near the comple-

tion of the cut.

_ WARNING: To avoid a kickback and to avoid

serious personal injury, never position the concave

edge of bowed or warped material against the fence.

CLAMPING 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

figure 43.

_ WARNING:Beforeperforminganyadjustment,

makesurethetoolisunpluggedfromthepower

supplyandtheswitchisin the OFF position. Failure

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.

DEPTH STOP

See Figure 45.

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.

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.

PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and

normally do not require readjustment.

TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

[] The saw arm should rise completely to the up position

by itself.

[] If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play

in the pivot joints, have saw repaired by a qualified

service technician at your nearest Sears Service Center

to avoid risk of personal injury.

BEVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

[] The compound miter saw should bevel easily by loos-

ening the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw arm to the

left.

[] If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have

saw repaired by a qualified service technician at your

nearest Sears Service Center to avoid risk of personal

injury.

HEXNUT

Fig. 45

CAUTION: Do not start the compound miter saw

without checking for interference between the blade

and the throat plate. Damage could result to the

blade if it strikes the throat plate during operation of

the saw.

DEPTHSTOPADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 45.

[] Unplug the saw.

[] To adjust the depth stop use a 10 mm wrench or

adjustable wrench and loosen the hex nut at the rear

of the miter saw arm.

[] Use a 5 mm hex key wrench to adjust the depth stop

adjustment screw. The saw blade is lowered by turning

the screw counterclockwise and raised by turning the

screw clockwise.

[] Lower the blade into the miter table. Check blade

clearance and maximum cutting distance (distance

from fence where blade enters) to front of miter table

slot.

[] Readjust if necessary.

[] Tighten the hex nut with a !0 mm wrench or adjustable

wrench.

[] To prevent the depth stop adjustment screw from

turning while tightening the hex nut, carefully hold it

with the hex key wrench while tightening the hex nut.

_ WARNING: When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts. Use of any other part may create

a hazard or cause product damage.

_ WARNmNG: Always wear safety goggles or safety

glasses with side shields during power tool operation

or when blowing dust. Hfoperation is dusty, also wear

a dust mask.

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. Chemi-

cals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which

may result in serious personal injury.

It has been found that electric tools are subject to ac-

celerated 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. Con-

sequently, 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.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a suffi-

cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit

under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further

lubrication is required.

_ WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all

repairs -- with the exception of the externally acces-

sible brushes -- should be performed by a qualified

service technician at a Sears store to avoid risk of

personal injury.

Fig. 46

BRUSH REPLACEMENT

See Figure 46.

Your saw has externally accessible brush assemblies that

should be periodically checked for wear.

Proceed as follows when replacement is required:

[] Unplug the saw.

,_ WARMNG: Failure to unplug the saw could result in

accidental starting causing serious injury.

[] 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.

CHANGINGTHEBATTERIES

See Figures 47 -48.

[] Unplug the saw.

Remove the laser guide from the saw. Lay laser guide on

a flat surface with the two phillips screws facing upward.

Remove the screws and separate the laser guide cover

from the laser guide support.

Remove the three button cell batteries using a non-con-

ductive device such as a toothpick.

NOTE: Replace the batteries with silver oxide batteries

that have a rating of 1.5 volt and 180 mah (milliampere

hour) minimum (Number 357 silver oxide only).

When replacing the batteries, the laser guide should be

thoroughly cleaned. Use a soft paintbrush or similar de=

vice, to remove all sawdust and debris.

Do not attempt to activate the laser.

The laser is activated by means of a centrifugal switch

only while the saw motor is running and the laser guide is

mounted on the saw.

After cleaning laser guide and replacing batteries, secure

laser guide cover to laser guide support using the two

phillips head screws. For proper assembly, be sure to

align the key on the laser guide cover with the key slot in

the laser guide support. Tighten screws securely.

NOTE: Aperture in laser guide cover must be aligned with

aperture in laser guide support.
