MITER SAW SAFETY RULES

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities

contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to

these chemical: work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that

are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SAW. Lock the miter

table by securely tightening the miter lock levers.

Lock the saw arm by securely tightening the bevel

lock knob.

• NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE SCRAP

END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE. NEVER hold

onto or bind the free scrap end of the workpiece in

any operation. If a work clamp and length stop are

used together, they must both be installed on the

same side of the saw table to prevent the saw blade

from contacting the cut off piece.

• NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND.

Always place the workpiece to be cut on the miter

table and position it firmly against the fence as a

backstop. Always use the fence.

• NEVER reach behind, under, or within three inches of

the moving blade and its cutting path with hands and

fingers for any reason.

• NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of

scrap, or anything else that is in or near the cutting

path of the blade, while the saw is running or the

blade is turning.

• NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment

to any cutting angle while the saw is running or the

blade is rotating.

• AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND

POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your

hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you

have good balance. NEVER operate the miter saw on

the floor or in a crouched position.

• ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the

saw blade to stop rotating before raising it out of the

workpiece or changing settings.

• IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISSING or

should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any

electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off

the power switch, remove the miter saw plug from the

power source and have damaged, missing, or failed

parts replaced before resuming operation.

• ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity

(gained from frequent use of the saw) to cause

a careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a

careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict

severe injury.

• IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it

must be replaced by an authorized service center or

electrician.

• NEVER leave the saw unattended while connected to

a power source.

• ALWAYS carry the tool only by the base.

• AVOID direct eye exposure when using the laser

guide.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should

be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have

3-prong grounding type plugs. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the

"OFF" position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line

connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP OR

WET LOCATIONS.

Your machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source,

make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.

DOUBLE INSULATION

The double insulated system is designed to protect the user from shock resulting from a break

in the tool’s internal insulation. However, it is important to observe 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 the nearest authorized

service center for repair. Always use identical replacement parts when servicing.

NOTE: The manual cover illustrates the current production model. All other illustrations contained in the manual are

representative only and may not be exact depictions of the actual labeling or accessories included. They are intended for

illustrative purposes only.

MITER SAW SAFETY RULES

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 will cause a loss of power

and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the

power supply.

POLARIZED PLUGS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug

will fit in a polarized plug only one way. If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

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

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 determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only

round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used. When working outdoors with a tool,

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.

Keep the extension cord clear of the work 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. 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.

Refer to Figure 12.

1. Unplug the saw.

2. Lower the saw arm all the way down to the transport

position and engage the lock pin to hold it in place.

3. Loosen the miter lock handle (A), and position the

table so that the miter scale indicator (B) reads 0°.

4. Tighten the miter lock handle so that the table will not

move.

5. Loosen bevel lock knob (C) and adjust the angle

of the saw arm so that the bevel scale indicator (D)

reads 0°. This positions the blade at 90° to table.

6. Securely tighten bevel lock knob.

Refer to Figure 13.

7. Place a combination square (E) against the table and

the face of the saw blade (F) square contacts the flat

part of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.

8. Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-

table alignment at several points.

9. The edge of the square and the saw blade should be

parallel as shown in Figure 13.

10. If the top or bottom of the blade face is not flush with

the square, refer to Figure 14 below and perform the

following steps.

Refer to Figure 14.

11. Loosen bevel lock knob (G).

12. Adjust positive stop adjustment screw (H) to bring

saw blade into alignment with the square. See

“Positive Stop Screw” in the Adjustment section.

13. Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table

alignment.

NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check

alignment of the blade to the miter table at both 0° and

45° angles.

NOTE: The saw has two scale indicators, one on the

bevel scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring

adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to

loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.

PREPARING YOUR SAW FOR USE

USING THE LASER GUIDE

When the laser guide switch is turned on it projects a red

line onto the work surface enabling you to see your cut

before you make it. To ensure a true and straight cut:

1. Make sure the saw is unplugged.

2. Draw a line on the workpiece where you plan to cut.

3. Flip the laser switch (A) to the “ON” position.

4. The red line (B) indicates the path of the blade.

5. Align the laser line and the mark with the blade at the

uppermost position.

6. Once both lines are in alignment, do not move the

workpiece.

7. Plug the saw into the power source.

8. Make several practice cuts on different styles and

thickness of material.

9. Repeat the steps above as necessary.

TO REMOVE YOUR MARK:

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

the work surface in order to cut through the mark.

TO CUT ON YOUR MARK:

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

surface in order to cut the mark.

TO CUT WITHOUT REMOVING 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.

OPERATION

14A0000012114O1CT

Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

•

Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient

to inflict serious personal injury.

•

Always wear eye protection with side shields and marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in

objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious personal injury.

•

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of

attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.

•

Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the compound miter saw to a workbench. Never operate the

miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position.

•

Always tighten the miter lock handle and bevel lock knob securely before making a cut. Failure to do so could result

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

•

Keep hands outside the no hands zone, at least 3 in. from blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand

(without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.

•

When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure the workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of the blade only. The

workpiece must remain free on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The workpiece

binding the blade will cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting in possible

serious personal injury.

•

NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to any cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is

rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this tool for the following purposes:

•

Bevel cutting and compound cutting for crown moldings, etc.

•

Cross cutting wood and plastic

•

Cross cutting for moldings, door casings, picture frames, etc.

NOTE: The blade provided is acceptable for most cutting of lumber and moldings, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting

plastic, it is recommended that you use a specialty blade designed for these applications.

FIGURE 16

POWER SWITCH LOCK

To prevent any unauthorized person from operating this

saw, a padlock (not included) may be installed into the

lock hole located on the power switch, as shown in

Figure 16. Be sure padlock is fully closed and locked

before leaving saw unattended.

Always disconnect the power supply

before installing or removing a lock onto

the power switch. Failure to do so could cause the power

switch to engage by accident, resulting in serious injury.

OPERATION

CROSS CUTS

A cross cut is a cut made across the grain of the

workpiece. A straight cross cut means the miter scale

indicator is set at 0°. For a miter cross cut, the miter scale

indicator is set at an angle other than 0°.

Refer to Figure 17.

1. Disengage the lock pin (A) and lift saw arm to its full

height.

2. For a straight cross cut, skip to step 5.

3. To make a miter cross cut, loosen the miter lock

handle (B).

4. Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the

desired angle on the miter scale (C) then tighten the

miter lock handle securely.

5. Place the workpiece flat on the 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, jamming the blade.

6. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,

support the opposite end of the stock with a roller

stand or with a work piece support that is level

with the table surface. See SUPPORTING LONG

WORKPIECES (Page 20).

7. Align cutting line on workpiece with edge of saw

blade or laser line.

8. Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it

against the fence. Use the optional work clamp (D)

9. Before turning on the saw, practice the cut to ensure

no problems will occur when the cut is made.

10. Hold the saw handle firmly and squeeze the power

switch. Wait until the blade reaches maximum speed

before making cut.

11. Slowly lower the blade into and through the

workpiece.

12. Release the power switch and allow the blade to stop

rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.

13. Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning

before removing the workpiece from the table.

BEVEL CUTS

A bevel cut is made across the grain with the blade

angled to the workpiece. A straight bevel means the miter

scale indicator is set at 0° and the bevel scale indicator is

set at an angle other than 0°.

COMPOUND MITER CUTS

A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle

and a bevel angle at the same time. Adjustments of miter

and bevel settings are interdependent. 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.

TIPS FOR CUTTING AND SUPPORTING WORKPIECES

TIPS FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

• The two edges of the molding that contact the ceiling and the wall are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly

90°. Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that fits flat against the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle

(the section that fits flat against the wall) of 38°.

• 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.

• The angles for crown moldings must be very precise. The bevel and miter angles are interdependent; changing one angle

changes the other angle as well.

• Since it is very easy for the work piece to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap molding. Also most walls do not

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

• When cutting crown molding 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 the work table.

Bevel Angle Setting Type of Cut Steps

TIPS FOR CUTTING AND SUPPORTING WORKPIECES

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

When attempting to cut warped material, the CONVEX

face should be against the fence as shown in Figure 18.

CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES

When cutting wide work pieces, such as 2 in. x 6 in.,

clamp the workpiece to the work table using a C-clamp

as shown in Figure 20.

Keep clamps away from the path of the

blade and blade guard assembly.

To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious

personal injury, never position the

concave edge of bowed or warped material against the

fence.

FIGURE 18

FIGURE 19

FIGURE 20

X

Never position a piece of warped material with the

CONCAVE face or edge against the fence, as shown in

Figure 19. It will pinch the blade near the completion of

the cut.

TIPS FOR CUTTING AND SUPPORTING WORKPIECES

ADJUSTMENTS

SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES

Long workpieces need extra support. 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 as

shown in Figure 21. Use the optional work clamp or a

C-clamp to secure the workpiece to the miter saw table.

Keep clamps away from the path of the

blade and blade guard assembly.

Before performing any adjustment,

make sure the tool is unplugged from

the power supply. Failure to heed this warning could

result in serious personal injury.

Your compound miter saw has been properly adjusted

at the factory. Due to shipping or normal use, it may

be necessary to re-adjust some of the settings. Check

the following adjustments periodically to assure proper

accuracy and safe operation.

Check for interference between the

blade and the throat plate, before

plugging the saw into the power source.

ARM PIVOT

The arm of the saw should raise and lower completely

and freely. In the lowered position and with the lock

pin removed, the arm should rise to the up position by

itself. If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is

play in the pivot joints, it will need to be professionally

repaired at an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. Please

call Company’s Customer Care Center at 800-223-7278.

POSITIVE STOP SCREW

The position of the positive stop adjustment screw

was set at the factory and normally will not require

readjustment. If the blade is not square to the table, the

positive stop adjustment screw must be re-adjusted.

To adjust refer to Figure 22:

1. Unplug the saw.

2. Loosen the bevel lock knob (B) by turning it

counterclockwise.

3. Using the Phillips end of the blade wrench, adjust the

positive stop adjustment screw (A).

4. Square the blade to the miter table as described

in the section entitled, ALIGN THE BLADE TO THE

TABLE, found on page 14.

5. Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table

alignment.

6. The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel

scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring

adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to

loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.

NOTE: Use this procedure to check that the blade is

square to the table at 0° and 45° angles.

Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact

with light source.

BEVEL PIVOT

With the bevel lock knob loosened, the control arm of the

saw should tilt easily from 0° and 45°. If it does not or if

there is play in the pivot, the saw must be repaired by an

AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

LASER GUIDE

Refer to Figure 23.

1. Secure a piece of scrap material to the table surface

using the work clamp or a C-clamp.

2. Plug the saw into the power source and make a slight

cut to score the wood.

3. Release the power switch and make sure the blade

comes to a full stop, then raise the saw arm to the

upright position.

4. Unplug the saw. Do not remove the scrap piece.

5. Turn on the laser switch (A). If properly aligned, the

laser should align with the left edge of the partial cut

you just made. If the laser does not align with the

left edge of the cut you will need to adjust the laser

alignment.

6. To adjust the left to right laser offset refer to Figure

24 and follow these instructions: using a Phillips

head screwdriver loosen screw (B) and slide the

laser bracket to the desired position. Make sure to

re-tighten screw (B) after adjusting.

7. To adjust the left to right laser angle refer to Figure 25

and follow these instructions: using the included hex

wrench, turn screw (C) to the desired angle (parallel to

the blade).

8. Once adjusted recheck alignment of laser line to cut

made in scrap material.
