GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL

Safety is a combination of common

sense, staying alert and knowing how

to use your power tool.

CAUTION

To avoid mistakes that could cause

serious injury, do not plug the tool in

until you have read and understood

the following.

1. READ and become familiar

with the entire Operator’s

Manual. LEARN the tool’s

application, limitations and

possible hazards.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in

working order.

3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS

AND WRENCHES. Form the habit

of checking to see that keys and

adjusting wrenches are removed

from the tool before turning ON.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.

Cluttered areas and benches invite

accidents.

5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS

ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use

power tools in damp locations, or

expose them to rain or snow. Keep

work area well lit.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All

visitors and bystanders should be

kept a safe distance from work area.

7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF

with padlocks, master switches or by

removing starter keys.

8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will

do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not

force the tool or an attachment to do

a job for which it was not designed.

10.USE PROPER EXTENSION

CORDS. 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 result in a drop

in line voltage and in loss of power

which will cause the tool to overheat.

The table on page 11 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.

11.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do

not wear loose clothing, gloves,

neckties, rings, bracelets or other

jewelry which may get caught in

moving parts. Nonslip footwear is

recommended. Wear protective hair

covering to contain long hair.

12.ALWAYS WEAR EYE

PROTECTION. Any power

tool can throw foreign

objects into the eyes and

could cause permanent

eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety

Goggles (not glasses) that comply

with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1.

Everyday eyeglasses have only

impact–resistant lenses. They

ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety

Goggles are available at Sears.

NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in

compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could

seriously injure you when they break.

13.WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST

MASK. Sawing operation produces

dust.

14.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or

a vise to hold work when

practical. It is safer than

using your hand and

it frees both hands to

operate the tool.

15.DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM

POWER SOURCE before servicing,

and when changing accessories

such as blades, bits and cutters.

16.REDUCE THE RISK OF

UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.

Make sure switch is in the OFF

position before plugging the tool in.

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.

To avoid electrical hazards, ﬁ re

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 ﬁ re, if power cord is worn

or cut, or damaged in any way, have

it replaced immediately.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

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:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

this saw has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). This plug

will ﬁ t in a polarized outlet only one

way. If the plug does not ﬁ t fully in the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does

not ﬁ t, contact a qualiﬁ ed electrician to

install the proper outlet. Do not change

the plug in any way.

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 qualiﬁ ed 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 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.

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 ﬁ nished.

4. FUSES may “blow” or circuit

breakers may trip frequently if:

a. MOTOR is overloaded –

overloading can occur if you feed

WARNING

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY

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

speciﬁ ed 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 qualiﬁ ed

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.

PLAN YOUR WORK

● Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool

or attachment to do a job it was not

designed to do. Use a different tool

for any workpiece that can’t be held

in a solidly braced, ﬁ xed position.

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 ﬁ re.

Remove dust bag when cutting non-

ferrous metals.

WARNING

OPERATION

DRESS FOR SAFETY

Any 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 ﬁ nish. Avoid awkward

operations and hand positions. A

sudden slip could cause your ﬁ ngers or

hand to move into the blade.

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 ﬁ rmly 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.

● Make sure there are no gaps

between the 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 ﬁ ngers

to be within 8-3/4 inches of the saw

blade the workpiece is too small.

Keep hands and ﬁ ngers 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 ﬂ at or be held by a ﬁ xture 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”.

To avoid injury, follow all applicable

safety instructions, when cutting

non-ferrous metals:

● Use only saw blades speciﬁ cally

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.

WARNING

OPERATION

WHEN SAW IS RUNNING

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

ﬁ nding and correcting the problem.

WARNING

Before freeing jammed material:

● Release trigger switch.

● Wait for all moving parts to stop.

● Unplug the miter saw.

the saw blade may also contact the

fence.

BEVEL CUT (FIG. Z)

1. When a bevel cut is required, loosen

the bevel lock handle (1) by turning

it clockwise.

2. Tilt the cutting head to the desired

angle, as shown on the bevel scale

(2).

3. The blade can be positioned at any

angle, from a 90° straight cut (0

° on the scale) to a 45° left bevel.

Tighten the bevel lock handle (1)

to lock the cutting head in position.

Positive stops are provided at 0°,

33.9° and 45°.

WARNING

NOTE: The saw comes with a 33.9°

crown molding stop.

33.9° BEVEL STOP FOR CROWN

MOLDING (FIG. AA)

1. Push the bevel detent stop pin (2) in

toward the front of the machine.

2. Loosen the bevel lock handle (1).

3. Rotate the cutting head until the

bevel detent pin stops the bevel

angle at 33.9° on the bevel scale.

4. Tighten the bevel lock handle before

making a cut.

Fig. AA

COMPOUND CUT (FIG. BB)

A compound cut is the combination of

a miter and a bevel cut simultaneously.

1. Loosen the bevel lock handle (1)

and position the cutting head at the

desired bevel position. Lock the

bevel lock handle.

2. Loosen the miter handle (2). Lift up

the positive stop locking lever (3)

and position the table at the desired

angle. Release the positive stop

locking lever and lock the miter

handle.

SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP

TO 12-1/4 in. WIDE (FIG. CC)

To avoid injury:

● Never pull the cutting head

assembly and spinning blade toward

you during the cut. 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.

WARNING

one stop plate at a time. Loosen the

locking screw (6), rotate the stop

plate (7) to vertical position and

retighten the locking bolt.

Fig. DD

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.

Fig. EE

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.

7. Slowly move the switch handle

toward the fence, completing the cut.

8. Release the trigger and allow

the blade to stop spinning before

allowing the cutting head to raise.

Fig. CC

WORKPIECE SUPPORT AND

REPETITIVE CUTTING USING THE

STOP PLATE (FIG. DD)

Long pieces need extension table

support.

1. Loosen the knob (5) then slide the

extension table to desired position

and tighten the knob.

2. The stop plate is designed for use

during repetitive cutting. Only use

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

ﬁ rmly 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.

Fig. GG

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.

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.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

(FIG. HH, II)

Your compound miter saw is suited

for the difﬁ cult task of cutting crown

molding. To ﬁ t properly, crown molding

must be compound-mitered with

extreme accuracy. The two surfaces

on a piece of crown molding that ﬁ t

ﬂ at 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 ﬁ ts ﬂ at against

the ceiling) of 52°and a bottom rear

angle (the section that ﬁ ts ﬂ at 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 ﬂ at 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

Never put lubricants on the blade

while it is spinning.

● To avoid ﬁ re 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, ﬁ re or injury, use only

parts identical to those identiﬁ ed

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, ﬁ rst 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 ﬁ ts 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

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.

● 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.

WARNING

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

SAWDUST

Periodically, sawdust will accumulate

under the worktable and base. This

could cause difﬁ culty in the movement

of the worktable when setting up

a miter cut. Frequently blow out or

vacuum up the sawdust.

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 sufﬁ cient 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.

WARNING

Link: (which actuates the lower guard

movement) may be oiled at the rear

pivot, greased at ball bearing contact,

and oiled where the link actuates the

acetyl roller of the lower guard, if the

down chop motion is hard to start.
