laser is ClasslllA and emits output power

of a maximum 2.5mW and 635-655nm

wavelengths. These lasers do not normally

present an optical hazard. However, DO

NOT stare at the beam, as this can cause

flash blindness.

Class Ilia Laser Product

Complies with 21 CFR parts 1040.10 and 1040.11

AVOID EXPOSURE t

Laser radiation is emitted through

this aperture

,_ CAUTION: The following label is on the tool. It indicates the location from

which the saw emits the laser light. BE AWARE of the laser-light location when

using. Always make sure that any bystanders in the vicinity of use are made

aware of the dangers of looking directly into the laser.

•Do not remove or deface any product labels. Removing product labels

increases the risk of exposure to laser radiation.

• The laser beam can be harmful to the eyes. Always avoid direct eye

exposure. Do not look directly into the laser-beam-output aperture during

operation. Do not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others.

• Turn the laser on only when making cuts.

• The laser on the Miter Saw is not a toy. Always keep it out of the reach

of children.

• The laser light emitted from this device should never be directed toward any

person for any reason.

• Be sure that the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece (such as wood or a

rough-coated surface) that does not have a reflective surface.

•Do not use on materials, such as sheet steel, that have shiny, reflective

surfaces. The reflective surface could reflect the beam back at the operator.

Be aware that laser light reflected off of a mirror or any other reflective

surfaces can also be dangerous.

• Always turn the laser generator off when it is not in use. Leaving the tool on

increases the risk of someone inadvertently staring into the laser's beam.

• Always wear laser-protective eyewear when working on or near

reflective surfaces

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Do not leave tools or wood scraps

on the saw while it is in operation. Cluttered workbenches and dark areas

invite accidents

•Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that

may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders and visitors away while operating a power

tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

•Make your workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches. Lock

tools away when they are not in use.

•Make sure the work area has ample lighting so you can see the work, and

that there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Know your power tool. Read this operator's manual carefully. Learn the

compound miter saw's applications and limitations, as well as the specific,

potential hazards related to this tool.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when

operating a power tool.

•Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,

or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing

or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving

parts and should also be avoided.

• Avoid accidental starting of tools. Be sure switch is in "OFF "position

before plugging the tool into a power source.

• Remove adjusting keys or blade wrenches before turning the tool "ON."

A wrench that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in

personal injury.

•De not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper

footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Always secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work whenever

practical. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate

the tool.

TOOL USE AND CARE SAFETY

_, WARNING: Be sure to read, understand, and follow all safety rules and

operating instructions in this manual before using this tool. Failure to do so may

result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

• Always use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the

workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your

body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

•De not force the power tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct

tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it is designed.

•De not use the tool if switch does not turn it "ON" or "OFF." Any tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

•Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Never leave the tool running. Always turn it off. Do not leave the tool until it

comes to a complete stop.

• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons.

Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

•Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

•Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended for the tool being used.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when

used on another tool.

• Never cut metals or masonry products with this tool. This miter saw is

designed for use only on wood and wood-like products.

• Keep blade guards in place and in good working order.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

_, WARNING: Do not permit fingers to

touch the terminal or plug when installing

or removing the plug from an outlet.

•To reduce the risk of electric shock,

double insulated tools are equipped

with apolarized 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

_Groun_ding pil _c_

t_ Cover of Grounded

C. Outlet Box

Grounding Means

qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

21228 Manual Revised 08-0307 Page 6

•Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power

cord and grounded power-supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double-

insulated) tools. This compound miter saw is a double insulated tool.

_, WARNING: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety

precautions when operating this tool.

• Before plugging in the tool, be sure that the outlet voltage supplied is within

the voltage marked on the tool's data plate. Do not use "AC only" rated tools

with a DC power supply.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,

ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is grounded while using the tool.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools in

wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock. This tool is intended for indoor use only.

• If operating a power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, always use a

ground-fault circuit interrupter to supply power to your tool. Always wear

electrician's rubber gloves and footwear in damp conditions.

• Inspect tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at a Sears

Service Center. Be sure to stay constantly aware of the cord's location and

keep the cord well away from the moving blade.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool by or to pull

the plug from the outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,

and moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use a proper extension cord. Make sure that extension cords are in good

condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use a cord heavy

enough to carry the drawn current needed by the compound miter saw. An

undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power

and overheating. The table on the following page shows the correct size

to use, depending on the 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 extension cords are properly wired and in good condition. Always

replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person

before using it. Protect extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat,

and damp or wet areas.

• Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools. This circuit must not

be less than #6 wire and should be protected with a time-delay fuse. 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.

and remove all nails before cutting.

• Always be sure that the blade clears the workpiece.

• Never start the saw with the blade touching the workpiece.

• Always allow the motor to come up to full speed before starting a cut.

• Support long workpieces when cutting to minimize the risk of the blade pinching

or kickback. The saw may slip, walk, or slide while cutting long or heavy boards.

• Never use a length-stop on the free end of a clamped workpiece.

• Never hold onto or bind the free end of the workpiece in any operation.

• If a work clamp and a length stop are used together, they must both be

installed on the same side of the saw table to prevent the saw from catching

the loose end and kicking up.

• Never cut more than one piece at a time. Do not stack more than one

workpiece on the worktable at a time.

• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could

cause your hand to move into the blade. Always make sure that you have

good balance. Never position your saw on the floor or operate it while in a

crouched position.

• Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the blade.

• Only use the correct blades. Use the right blade size, style, and cutting

speed for the material being cut and the type of cut. De not use blades

with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that are

defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity for this saw is 10 inches.

21228 Manual Revised 08-0307 Page 9

• Always keep blades clean, sharp, and with the sufficient set. Sharp blades

minimize stalling and kickback.

• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blades can break easily or

cause kickback.

• Do not remove the saw's blade guards.

• Never operate the saw with any guard or cover removed. Make sure that all

guards are operating properly before each use.

• Never hold with your hands a workpiece that is too small to be clamped.

Always keep your hands clear of the "no hands" zone.

• Never perform any operation freehand. Always place the workpiece to

be cut on the miter saw table and position it firmly against the fence as a

backstop. Always use the fence.

• Never apply lubricants to the blade when it is running. Never use solvents

to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage

the material.

• Keep your hands away from the cutting area. Do not reach under the

material being cut or in the blade's cutting path with your fingers or hand for

any reason. Always turn the power off before reaching into the cutting area.

WARNING: The blade continues to turn after the power to the saw is turned

off. To avoid possible serious injury, after releasing the trigger switch to cut power,

allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.

• Never reach behind, under, or within three inches of the blade and its cutting

path with your hands or fingers for any reason.

• Never, for any reason, touch the blade or other moving parts during use.

• Do not turn the motor switch on and off rapidly. This could cause the blade

to loosen, which could create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear

and allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop. Disconnect the saw

from the power source and securely tighten the blade bolt.

• Always turn off the saw before disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting

when reconnecting the saw to a power supply. Never leave the saw

"No Hands Zone," as marked on the saw table: at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) from

the blade. Also, never perform any cutting operation "freehand" (i.e., without

holding the workpiece against the fence); the blade could grab the workpiece,

causing it to slip and twist.

13. Before turning on the saw, perform a trial of the cutting operation by lowering

the saw arm to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

14. Turn on the laser switch.To turn on the saw, push the safety-lock button in

with your thumb while squeezing the On/Off trigger switch located under the

handle. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

15. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

16. Release the safety lock and the trigger switch, and turn off the laser switch. Allow

the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.

,_, CAUTION: Always perform a "dry run" cut to determine if the operation

being attempted is possible before power is applied to Miter Saw.

CUTTING BASE MOLDING (Fig. 36)

Base moldings and many other moldings

can be cut on a miter saw. The proper

setup of the saw depends on base molding

characteristics and applications, as

described below. Perform practice cuts on

scrap materials to achieve best results.

1. Always make sure moldings rest firmly

against the fence and table. Use hold-

down clamp provided, a crown molding

vise, or C-clamps and place tape on the

area being clamped to avoid marks on

the workpiece.

2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut

area prior to making the cut. Mark the cut

line directly on the tape.

3. Splintering is typically due to incorrect blade style, dull blade, thinness of

workpiece, or improperly dried wood.

4. 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 the board is against the fence, the board could collapse

on the blade at the end of the cut and jam the blade.

5. Align the "red laser line" to touch the right edge of the cut line marked on

the workpiece.

6. Use the hold down clamp to secure workpiece against saw table and fence.

7. When cutting long workpieces, pull out the extension rail for extra support

for the long workpieces.

NOTE: Always perform a dry run cut so you can determine if the operation being

attempted is possible before power is applied to miter saw.

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING (Fig. 37)

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 for decorative moldings, picture frames, and

other fine joinery.

To make this type of cut, the miter table must be rotated to the correct miter

angle and the saw arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle.

Always take special care when making compound miter cuts, due to the

interaction of the two angle settings.

Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are dependent on one another. Each time the

miter setting is adjusted, the effect of the bevel setting also changes. Each time the

bevel setting is adjusted, the effect of the miter setting is changed.

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.

21228 Manual Revised 08-0307 Page 33

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 Miter Cut with the Miter Saw (Fig. 37)

1. Unplug the saw.

,_ WARNING: Failure to unplug the saw could result in accidental starting,

causing serious injury.

2. Pull out the locking pin to release Fig. 37

the saw arm.

3. Loosen the miter-lock knob and

depress the miter-lock lever to

loosen the miter table.

4. Hold the base of the saw arm firmly

and use it to rotate the miter table

while holding the saw base steady.

5. The0 °,15 °, 22.5 °, 31.6 °, and 45 °,

left and right settings are quickly

identifiable with the stops at the angle settings.

6. When the desired miter-table setting is achieved, tighten the miter-lock knob.

,_ WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always securely tighten the

miter-lock knob before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement

of the control arm or miter table while making a cut.

7. To set the bevel angle, loosen the bevel-lock knob by turning the knob

counter clockwise.

8. Tilt the saw arm to the desired bevel angle, as shown on the bevel scale.

Bevel angles can be set from 0°to 46°left bevel.

9. When the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the

bevel-lock knob.

10. 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 the board is against the fence, the board could collapse

on the blade at the end of the cut and jam the blade.

11. Plug the saw into a power supply.

12. Hold the saw handle and use your index finger to turn on the laser switch by

pushing it forward. Align the red laser line to touch the right edge of the cut line

marked on the workpiece. Turn off the laser.

13. Use the hold-down clamp to secure the workpiece against the saw table

and fence.

14. When cutting long workpieces, support the opposite end of the workpiece with a

roller stand or with another work surface that is level with the saw table.

_, CAUTION: Never use another person as an additional support for a

workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to help feed,

support, or pull the workpiece.

21228 Manual Revised 08-0307 Page 34

_, WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always keep hands outside

the "No Hands Zone", as marked on the saw table, which is at least 3 inches

(7.6 cm) from the blade. Also, never perform any cutting operation "freehand"

(i.e. without holding the workpiece against the fence); the blade could grab the

workpiece, causing it to slip and twist.

15. Make sure that there will be no obstructions to interfere with making the cut.

16. Turn on the laser switch.

17. To turn on the saw, push the safety-lock button in with your thumb while

squeezing the On/Off trigger switch located under the handle. Allow several

seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

18. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

19. Release the safety lock and trigger switch, and turn off the laser switch.

Allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.

CUTTING COMPOUND MITERS

To help make the correct settings, use the compound angle setting chart below.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING (Fig. 38)

Your miter saw is ideal for cutting crown molding. In order to fit properly, crown

molding must be compound-mitered with extreme accuracy. To fit flat against the

ceiling and wall, the sum of the angles of the crown molding's two connecting

surfaces must equal 90 °

Most crown molding has a high top rear spring angle (the section that fits flat

against the ceiling) of 52 ° and a bottom rear spring 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 miter table and against

the fence. When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound miter cuts,

remember that the settings are interdependent; changing one changes the other.

Keep in mind that, since it is very easy for the angles of crown molding to shift

slightly, all settings should be tested on scrap molding. Also, most walls do not

have angles of precisely 90°, therefore, you will need to fine tune your settings.

When cutting crown molding using this method, the bevel angle should be set

at 33.9 o. The miter angle should be set at 31.6 ° either left or right, depending

upon the desired cut for the application. See the following table for correct angle

setting and correct positioning of the crown molding on the miter table.

The settings in the table below can be used for cutting all standard (U.S.) crown

molding with 52 °And 38 o spring angles. The crown molding is placed flat on the

miter table, using the compound features of your miter saw.

Always use the hold-down clamp, and place tape on the area being clamped to

avoid marks on the workpiece.

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL (Fig. 39 and 40)

_, WARNING: To avoid kickback and to avoid serious personal injury, never

position the concave side of bowed or warped material against the fence.

When cutting warped material, be certain that the material to be cut is

positioned on the miter table with the convex side against the fence, as shown in

Fig. 35. If the warped material is positioned the wrong way, (Fig. 36), it will pinch

the blade near the end of the cut.

3. Replace the carbon bushes and keep the

brushes clean and sliding freely in their

guide channels. .

NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, make

sure the brushes go back in the same way they

came out. This will avoid a break-in period.

4. Install the back cover by replacing it and tightening the four screws, but do

not over-tighten. The saw should be allowed to "RUN IN" (run at no-load

without a blade) for 5 minutes before use, to seat the new brushes properly.

,_ WARNING: While "running in", do not tie, tape, or otherwise lock the

trigger switch "on." Hold the trigger switch "on" by handZ
