Introduction

WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain 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-base paints,

• Crystalline Silica from bricks, 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 chemicals, 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.

10-Inch Compound Miter Saw Operator's Manual 7

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

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. Table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

DOUBLE INSULATION SYSTEM ENHANCES SAFE OPERATION

To enhance safe operation of this electric power tool, JOHN DEERE has adopted a double insulation system. The

term "double insulation" used here denotes an insulation systems with two insulations physically separated and

arranged between the electrically conductive material connected to the power supply and outer frame subject to

contact by the operator.

Thus, the power tool is termed double insulated and both the mark and " " double insulation", or either one is

indicated on the name plate.

While no external grounding is required with this system, normal safety precautions as outlined in this manual must

still be followed.

To maintain the effectiveness of the double insulation system, follow the precautions described below:

1. Always contact your John Deere Dealer when assembling, disassembling or replacing parts other than

accessories or carbon brushes. Improper assembly and/or replacement with wrong parts may result in

eliminating the double insulation-feature.

2. Clean the exterior of the tool with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water, and dry thoroughly. Choleric

solvent, gasoline, and thinner will cause plastic components to dissolve.

WARNING: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. NEVER USE THIS TOOL

WITH A DAMAGED OR FRAYED ELECTRICAL CORD OR

EXTENSION CORD. INSPECT ALL ELECTRICAL CORDS

REGULARLY. NEVER USE IN OR NEAR WATER OR IN ANY

ENVIRONMENT WHERE ELECTRIC SHOCK IS POSSIBLE.

CAUSEUNWANTED CUTTING MARKS ON THE

WORKPIECE, THUS REDUCING THE QUALITY OF THE

CUT. ACCORDINGLY, PRESS THE HANDLE DOWN

GENTLY AND CAREFULLY.

OPERATION (CONTINUED):

4. Miter cutting procedures:

a. Loosen the side handle.

b. Adjust the table until the indicator aligns with the desired setting on the

miter angle scale as shown in Fig. 17.

c. Retighten the side handle to secure the table in the desired position.

CAUTION: NEVER REMOVE THE SIDE HANDLE; USE OF THE TOOL

WITHOUT IT WOULD BE HAZARDOUS. TO PREVENT AN

ACCIDENT OR PERSONAL INJURY ALWAYS FIRMLY

TIGHTEN THE MITER HANDLE.

NOTE: Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center

setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 35.3°, 45° and 60° right and 15°,

22.5°, 31.6°, 35.3°, and 45° left settings. Check that the miter

angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.

*Operation of the power tool with the miter angle scale and

indicator out of alignment, or with the miter handle not

properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.

5. Bevel cutting procedures:

a. Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left.

b. Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the bevel

angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp lever (Fig. 18).

WARNING: WHEN THE WORKPIECE IS SECURED ON THE LEFT SIDE

OF THE BLADE, THE SHORT CUTOFF PORTION WILL

COME TO REST ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SAW

BLADE. ALWAYS TURN THE POWER OFF AND LET THE

SAW BLADE STOP COMPLETELY BEFORE RAISING THE

HANDLE FROM THE WORKPIECE. IF THE HANDLE IS

RAISED WHILE THE SAW BLADE IS STILL ROTATING, THE

CUTOFF PIECE MAY BECOME JAMMED AGAINST THE

SAW BLADE CAUSING FRAGMENTS TO SCATTER ABOUT

DANGEROUSLY.

6. Compound cutting procedures:

For compound cutting, follow the instructions in paragraphs 4 and 5 above.

At a bevel angle of 45° and a miter angle of 45°, a workpiece of 1-5/8"

(41 mm) in height and up to 4" (102 mm) in width can be cut.

CAUTION: ALWAYS SECURE THE WORKPIECE WITH THE RIGHT

HAND SIDE FOR COMPOUND CUTTING. NEVER ROTATE

THE TABLE TO THE RIGHT FOR COMPOUND CUTTING,

BECAUSE THE SAW BLADE MIGHT THEN CONTACT

THE CLAMP OR VISE THAT SECURES THE WORKPIECE,

AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE.

7. Crown molding cutting procedures:

Fig. 20 shows two common crown molding types having angles of (0) 38° and45°. For the typical crown molding

fittings, see Fig. 20.

(Fig. 19) (Fig. 20)

The table below shows the miter angle and the bevel angle settings that are ideal for the two crown molding

types.

NOTE: For convenience, positive stops are provided for the miter setting (left and right 31.6°, 35.3°)

positions.

For miter cut setting

If the table has been set to either of the angles described, move the table adjusting miter handle a little to the

right and left to stabilize the position and to properly align the miter angle scale and the tip of the indicator before

the operation starts.

For bevel cutting setting

Move handle on bevel section to the right and left and check that the position is stable and that the bevel angle

scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned. Then tighten the clamp lever.

OPERATION (CONTINUED):

Setting to cut crown moldings at positions (1) and (4) in Fig. 20 (see Fig. 21):

1. Turn the table to the right and set the Miter Angle as follows:

*For 45° type crown moldings: 35.3° ( mark)

*For 38° type crown moldings: 31.6° ( mark)

2. Tilt the head to the left and set the Bevel Angle as follows:

*For 45° type crown moldings: 30°

*For 38° type crown moldings: 33.9° ( mark)

3. Position the crown molding so that the upper surface ((A) in Fig. 19)

contacts the fence as indicated in Fig. 25.

Setting to cut crown moldings at positions (2) and (3) in Fig. 20 (see Fig.23):

1. Turn the table to the left and set the Miter Angle as follows:

*For 45° type crown moldings: 35.3° ( mark)

*For 38° type crown moldings: 31.6° ( mark)

2. Tilt the head to the left and set the Bevel Angle as follows:

*For 45° type crown moldings: 30°

*For 38° type crown moldings: 33.9° ( mark)

3. Position the crown molding so that the lower surface (B) in Fig. 19)

contacts the fence as in Fig. 25.

8. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash:

Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too

much in a vise assembly. This will cause inefficient cutting and possible

overload of the motor. When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to

protect the workpiece as shown in Fig. 25. When cutting aluminum

materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (noncombustible) to achieve

smooth cutting and a fine finish.

9. How to use the dust bag:

a. When the dust bag has become full of sawdust, dust will be blown out

of the dust bag when the saw blade rotates. Check the dust bag

periodically and empty it before it becomes full.

b. During bevel and compound cutting, attach the dust bag at a right angle

to the base surface as shown in Fig. 26.

CAUTION: EMPTY THE DUST BAG FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT THE

DUCT AND THE GEAR CASE FROM BECOMING

CLOGGED. SAWDUST WILL ACCUMULATE MORE

QUICKLY THEN NORMAL DURING BEVEL CUTTING.
