Item 61970 Using the Workpiece Extension Supports 2. When properly installed, the upper face of the Table Extensions are level with the Table, and provide a wider support surface for the workpiece. 3. Support the workpiece to be level with the table, and so that after the cut is made the cut off pieces will not fall. Use sawhorses or other supports (not included) to support longer workpieces. SAFETy 1. The Table Extensions are inserted into each side of the Table, and locked in place using the Wing Screws. 4. If the workpiece is not level, you will make an unintentional bevel cut in the material. If the workpiece is not supported, it will bind the blade and may cause the material to kick back, potentially causing injury. Adjusting the Miter Angle 1. Loosen the Miter Knob by turning it approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise. 4. Tighten the Miter Knob after adjusting the miter angle. 2. Press down the Miter Lock to unlock the Table. While holding the Miter Lock down, move the Table to the desired angle. 5. With the Table adjusted to the desired angle, place the workpiece flush against the Fence, secure it with the Clamp and make the cut. 3. The Miter Angle Indicator will indicate the selected angle. While the Miter Lock is released, the table will lock into place at often used miter angles, including 22.5º, 30º, 45º, and 90º on both left and right sides. SETUp A miter cut is one that is at an angle across the horizontal surface of the material. 45º miter cuts to join two pieces in a right angle corner are common. A 30º cut is often used for a scarf joint or to make a chamfered end. Adjusting the Bevel Angle A bevel cut is one that is at an angle vertically. Bevel cuts can be used to miter relatively wide and thin material. Bevel cuts can be used in combination with a miter cut to form a compound angle. Compound angle cuts are often used in crown moldings, picture frames and similar trim materials. Angle Block 6. Make a sample cut in a piece of scrap to confirm that the bevel angle is correct. If it is not, correct the angle before cutting. OpERATION 1. Loosen the Bevel Lock Knob at the rear of the saw. Figure c: Angle Block Location Bevel Indicators 2. If setting a left bevel, pivot the Angle Block out of the way. Pivot the Angle Block back into position if adjusting for vertical cuts. Bevel Lock Knob MAINTENANcE 3.

The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent injury and distraction. 2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working. 3. Allow room on both left and right of saw for extended workpieces. MAINTENANcE Page 12 4. Use a saw table, saw stand or other means to support the workpiece. Mount the Miter Saw so that the surface is level to the ground, and additional supports provide a surface on the same level as the saw table. If the work surface and any workpiece supports are not level, and on the same level, unwanted bevel angles will appear in the cuts resulting in poor joinery. 5. Secure workpieces to the saw table using the Clamp or other clamping devices (not included). Securing the workpiece will provide safety by preventing kick back and by removing the need to hold workpieces near the blade by hand. Clamping the workpiece will also improve cutting accuracy by preventing the workpiece from moving during the cutting operation. For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Item 61970 General Operating Instructions 3. Blow any sawdust or debris away from the Fence. Place the work material against the Fence. 4.

OpERATION checking and calibrating the Fence The Fence holds the workpiece in a fixed position while the Table and or the blade assembly are adjusted in a miter or bevel angle. If Fence needs adjustment: To make accurate cuts, the Fence must be perpendicular (at a 90º angle) to the Saw Blade. 2. Lower the blade assembly and lock it in place using the Locking Pin. 1. Before beginning work, make a test cut on scrap material with the Table set at 90º. 3. Lay a carpenter’s square on the table with one edge along the blade and the other along the Fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible. NOTE: The square must contact the surface of the blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading. MAINTENANcE 2. Check the cut with an accurate square. You can also reverse the two pieces, hold the cut ends together, and hold a good straight edge along the side of the pieces. 3. If either test reveals that the cut is not a true 90º angle, adjust the Fence before beginning work. 1. First unplug the tool. 4. The Fence is held in place with bolts at each end. Loosen the bolts slightly, and gently tap the Fence into position using a soft mallet. Retighten the bolts and make another test cut. Repeat the process until the Fence is adjusted accurately. 5. Once the Fence is accurately adjusted, tighten the bolts firmly in place. Recheck one last time, then proceed to work. Page 14 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Item 61970 calibrating the Miter Table Indicator After checking or adjusting the fence to confirm that it is at 90º to the Blade, check the accuracy of the Miter Table Angle Indicator. 1. Loosen the screw holding the Angle Indicator in place. 2. Rotate it until the pointer is exactly on 90º. SAFETy 3. Retighten the screw. calibrating the Bevel Angle 1. To check the angle, have the blade assembly in its normal upright position. Make a cut on a piece of flat sided, fairly thick scrap material. 2. Check the cut with an accurate square. The cut should be at exactly 90º. 4. If necessary, the bevel angle can be corrected by adjusting the Bevel Adjustment Screw on the right side under the Bevel Locking Lever. 5. Once the bevel angle is adjusted, adjust the Bevel Angle Indicator to read 0º when the Saw Blade is in the vertical position. Loosen the screw holding the Indicator in place, adjust it to be exactly over the 0º mark, then retighten the screw. SETUp For making accurate cuts, the Saw Blade must be adjusted to be exactly vertical to the Table. 3. Angle can also be checked by rotating one cut-off piece 180º and holding the cut ends together. If the cut is not exactly vertical, the two pieces will form a slight angle. If the Kerf Board becomes damaged it must be replaced. To adjust the Kerf Board: 1. Remove the four screws holding the Kerf Board in place. 1. Lower the Saw Blade and lock it down with the Locking Pin. 2. Install a new Kerf Board. Replace the four screws and tighten them slightly. 2. Adjust the Kerf Board so the right side of the Blade slightly clears the edge of the Kerf Board. 3. Loosen the Bevel Lock and set the Bevel Angle at 45º left. 4. Ensure that the left side of the Blade clears the Kerf Board. OpERATION Adjusting or Replacing the Kerf Board 5.
