ELECTRICAL

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by

Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Ampere rating (on tool data plate)

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

—

When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters “WA” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING:

Keep the extension cord clear of the working 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.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 5,000

RPM. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin like the one shown.

WARNING:

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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a

power supply that is 120 V, AC

only, 60 Hz, (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 saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

WORK CLAMP

See Figure 11.

WARNING:

In some operations, the work clamp assembly may interfere with the operation of the blade guard assembly.

Always make sure there is no interference with the blade guard prior to beginning any cutting operation to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the workpiece to the fence or the saw table. It also prevents the workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful when cutting compound miters. Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead of the work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making the cut.

To install the work clamp:

 Place the work clamp shaft in one of the holes located behind the miter fence. Tighten work clamp knob

securely.

 Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it up or down as needed.

TABLE EXTENSIONS

See Figures 12 - 13.

To install table extensions, insert the ends of extensions into the holes in the sides of the base. Adjust the extensions to the desired length.

Secure extensions in place by positioning a clamp bracket under each table extension beneath the miter table. Orient each clamp bracket as shown in figure 13.

Secure each clamp bracket in place with a clamp bracket screw. The clamp bracket screw threads through the clamp bracket and tightens against bracket support on bottom of miter table, securing clamp bracket against table extension.

ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE

See Figure 16.

Lock the switch by installing a padlock (not included) through the hole in the switch trigger and closing the shackle.

Draw a line on the workpiece. When the laser guide switch is turned on it will generate a red line on the work surface.

This line will let you see your mark and the laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you in lining up the mark for more accurate cutting of the workpiece.

Align the laser line and the mark with the blade at the uppermost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do not move the workpiece.

Remove the padlock then plug the saw into the power source.

Make several practice cuts on different styles and thickness of material. Repeat the steps above as necessary.

Follow the directions below for using the laser guide:

Removing your Mark:

Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark on the work surface in order to remove the mark.

To Cut your Mark:

Position the laser line near or over your mark on the work surface in order to cut the mark.

To Leave 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.

CUTTING WITH THE SLIDING COMPOUND

MITER SAW

WARNING:

When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure your 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.

WARNING:

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 causing serious personal injury.

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

Do not try to cut narrow pieces using the sliding feature.

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

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter lock handle securely before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the miter table while making a cut.

OPERATION

TO MAKE NON-SLIDING CUTS

WARNING:

Securely tighten the slide lock knob when making any non-sliding cuts. Failure to tighten the knob could result in the saw head moving during the cutting operation.

TO MITER CUT / CROSS CUT

See Figures 26 - 27.

A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table set at the 0° position. Miter cross cuts are made with the miter table set at some angle other than 0°.

 Raise saw arm to its full height.

 Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the miter scale. Securely tighten the miter lock handle.

 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 a board is placed against the fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.

See Figures 38 - 39.

 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the saw table.

See Figure 32.

 Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.

 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.

 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Squeeze the switch trigger.

Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

 Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

OPERATION

TO COMPOUND MITER CUT

See Figures 30 - 31.

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 to make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping sides, and for certain roof framing cuts.

To make this type of cut the control arm on the miter table must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always be taken when making compound miter setups due to the interaction of the two angle settings.

Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interdependent with one another. 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.

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.

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.

 Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.

 Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.

 Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the miter scale.

 Tighten the miter lock handle securely.

 Loosen the bevel lock lever and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.

 Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.

 Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the bevel lock lever.

 Recheck miter angle setting. Make a test cut in scrap material.

 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 a board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade. See Figures 38 - 39.

 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 32.

 Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.

 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.

 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

 Grasp the saw handle firmly then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

 Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

OPERATION

TO SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES

See Figure 32.

Long workpieces need extra supports. 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. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.

WARNING:

Never make a cut by pulling the saw toward you as the blade can climb on top of the workpiece and come toward you. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

TO SLIDE CUT

See Figures 33 - 34.

The sliding feature will cut workpieces 12 in. wide by

3-1/2 in. thick. With the saw off, pull the saw arm forward.

Turn the saw on (let blade reach maximum speed), push the blade down cutting into the workpiece then back toward the rear of the saw to make a cut. Cuts are made by pushing the saw blade away from you and toward the bevel scale at the back of the saw stopping when the full rear position has been reached after each cut. When the saw is running

(turned on), NEVER pull the saw blade toward you or toward the front of the saw.

 Raise saw arm to its full height.

 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 32.

 Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.

 Loosen the slide lock knob by turning the knob counterclockwise.

 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.

 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

 With the saw off, grasp the saw handle firmly then pull the saw forward until the blade arbor (center of the saw blade) is over the front of the workpiece.

 Squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

 Slowly lower the blade into and through the front edge of the workpiece.

 Push the saw handle away from you and toward the bevel scale at the back of the saw.

NOTE: A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table set at the 0° position. Miter cross cuts are made with the miter table set at some angle other than 0°.

OPERATION

MAKING AN AUXILIARy FENCE

See Figure 35.

Certain unusual cuts may benefit from a thicker miter fence

(auxiliary fence) due to the size and position of the workpiece.

The holes provided in the miter fence are there for just this purpose. The miter fence holes are used to secure the auxiliary fence which requires a piece of wood 1/2 in. thick,

3-1/2 in. high, and 23 in. long to make.

NOTE: The auxiliary fence can only be used when the bevel is set at 0°. When making a bevel cut, the auxiliary fence

MUST be removed.

To attach the auxiliary fence to the saw:

 Place the wood against the miter fence and mark the hole location from behind the fence using a pencil.

 Drill holes through the wood then countersink the holes on the front of the wood.

 Secure the wood to the miter fence using flat head screws.

 With the miter table set at 0°, make a complete cut through the auxiliary fence to create the blade slot.

NOTE: Check for interference between the auxiliary fence and the lower blade guard. Correct any interference before proceeding.

 Make a full 45° left miter cut and a 45° right miter cut through the completed auxiliary fence.

COMPOUND-ANGLE SETTINGS FOR POPULAR STRUCTURES

OPERATION

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

The compound miter saw does an excellent job of cutting crown molding. In general, compound miter saws do a better job of cutting crown molding than any other tool made.

In order to fit properly, crown molding must be compound mitered with extreme accuracy.

The two contact surfaces on a piece of crown molding that fit flat against the ceiling and the wall of a room 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 ° .

LAyING MOLDING FLAT ON THE MITER

TABLE

See Figure 36.

To use this method for accurately cutting crown molding for a

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 miters, remember that the settings are interdependent; changing one angle changes the other angle as well.

Keep in mind that the angles for crown molding are very precise and difficult to set. Since it is very easy for these angles to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap molding. Also most walls do not have angles of exactly 90 to fine tune your settings.

; therefore, you will need

When cutting crown molding by this method, the bevel angle should be set at 33.85

. The miter angle should be set at 31.6

° 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 miter table.

OPERATION

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

See Figures 37 - 38.

When cutting warped material, always make sure it is positioned on the miter table with the convex side against the fence as shown in figure 37.

If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown in figure 38, it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

WARNING:

To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious personal injury, never position the concave edge of bowed or warped material against the fence.

CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES

See Figure 39.

When cutting wide workpieces, such as 2 in. x 6 in., boards should be clamped with a work clamp as shown in figure 39.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

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.

The compound miter saw has been adjusted at the factory for making accurate cuts. However, some of the components might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking the saw, check the following adjustments before you begin using saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and periodically check the parts alignment to make sure that the saw is cutting accurately.

TO ADJUST THE BEVEL PIVOT

See Figure 40.

The saw should smoothly pivot when the bevel lock lever is

“unlocked” and the saw is beveled. A “grating” sound indicates that the bevel needs to be loosened slightly. If the movement is tight, too loose, or there is play in the pivot, an adjustment is required.

 Unplug the saw.

 Turn the hex nut with the blade wrench.

 Once all adjustments have been made, lift the bevel lock lever to relock the bevel. Recheck and readjust as needed.

TO ADJUST THE LASER GUIDE

See Figure 41.

NOTE: Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser guide.

 Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure a piece of scrap wood.

 Plug the saw into the power source and make a slight cut to score the wood.

 Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade.

 Raise the saw arm.

 Lock the switch by installing a padlock (not included) through the hole in the switch trigger.

 To adjust the laser, loosen screw A using a hex key.

NOTE: When properly aligned, the laser should be on the left edge of the kerf. Loosen and adjust screw B only if adjustment of screw A fails to properly align the laser.

 Once aligned, tighten the screws then remove and store the hex key.

ADJUSTMENTS

TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

 The saw arm should rise completely to the up position by itself.

 If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play in the pivot joints, have saw repaired at the nearest authorized service center.

DEPTH STOP

The depth stop limits the blade’s downward travel. It allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions the blade 1/4 in. from the miter table support.

NOTE: The miter table support is located inside the miter table.

The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting capacity for the 10 in. blade provided with the saw.

Therefore, the saw with blade provided should never need adjustments.

However, when the diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide maximum cutting capacity. Also, when a new blade is installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of the blade to the miter table support before starting the saw. Make adjustments if needed.

DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 42.

 Unplug the saw.

 To adjust the depth stop use a 10 mm wrench and loosen the hex nut located on the top of the upper saw arm.

 Use a 5 mm hex key wrench to adjust the depth stop adjustment screw. The saw blade is lowered by turning the screw counterclockwise and raised by turning the screw clockwise.

 Lower the blade into the miter table. Check blade clearance and maximum cutting distance (distance from fence where blade enters) to front of miter table slot.

 Readjust if necessary.

 Tighten the hex nut with a 10 mm wrench or adjustable wrench.

 To prevent the depth stop adjustment screw from turning while tightening the hex nut, carefully hold it with the hex key wrench while tightening the hex nut.

POSITIVE STOP ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 42.

NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and normally do not require readjustment.

To adjust:

 Unplug the saw.

 Using two wrenches (one on the lock nut and one for the positive stop adjustment screw), loosen the lock nut securing the positive stop adjustment screw.

 Loosen the bevel lock lever by turning the knob counterclockwise.

 Square the blade to the miter table as described in the

Assembly section of this manual.

 Retighten bevel lock lever. Next, retighten lock nut securing the positive stop adjustment screw. Recheck blade-to-table alignment.

NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0° and 45° angles.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

BRUSH REPLA CEMENT

See Figure 43.

The saw has externally accessible brush assemblies that should be periodically checked for wear.

Proceed as follows when re placement is required:

 Unplug the saw.

 Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush assembly is spring loaded and will pop out when you remove brush cap.

 Remove brush assembly.

 Check for wear. Replace both brushes when either has less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining.

Do not

replace one side without replacing the other.

 Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that brush moves freely in brush tube.

 Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and replace.

 Tighten brush cap securely.

Do not overtighten.
