safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or attach-
ment to do a job for which it was not designed.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size
(A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension
cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,
neckties, or jewelry that can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protec-
tive hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical, it is safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate the tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp
and clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If
damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at
an authorized service facility. 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. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and
keep it well away from the rotating blade.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and
replace if damaged.
GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-
prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electri-
cal receptacle.
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.
USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES: 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND
GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any solvents to clean tool.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what
you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate
tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades with
incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade
bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade
capacity of your saw is 10 in.
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST-
MENTS ARE SECURE.
BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for
and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT the tool to a workbench or
table at approximately hip height.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Do not
reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with hands
and fingers for any reason. Always turn the power off.
ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES while cutting
to minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback. Saw may
slip, walk or slide while cutting long or heavy boards.
ALWAYS USE A CLAMP to secure the workpiece when
possible.
BE SURE THE BLADE CLEARS THE WORKPIECE.
Never start the saw with the blade touching the
workpiece. Allow motor to come up to full speed
before starting cut.
MAKE SURE THE MITER TABLE AND SAW ARM
(BEVEL FUNCTION) ARE LOCKED IN POSITION
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SAW. Lock the miter
table by securely tightening the miter lock levers. Lock
the saw arm (bevel function) by securely tightening the
bevel lock lever.
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 opera-
tion. 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 from catching the loose end and
kicking up.
NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT
STACK more than one workpiece on the saw table at a
time.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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 hand hold a workpiece that is too small to be
clamped. Keep hands clear of the cutting area.
NEVER reach behind, under, or within three inches of the
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.
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.
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.
NEVER stand or have any part of the body in line with
the path of the saw blade.
ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating before raising it out of the workpiece.
DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY. This could cause the saw blade to loosen
and could create a hazard. Should this ever occur,
stand clear and allow the saw blade to come to a
complete stop. Disconnect your saw from the power
supply and securely retighten the blade bolt.
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 frac-
tion of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must
be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
MAKE SURE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING to
see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with
safe operation BEFORE performing any work using the
saw.
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE SAW before disconnecting it
to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power
supply. NEVER leave the saw unattended while connected
to a power source.
RELEASE THE SWITCH TRIGGER and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of
workpiece.

A 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:
ш Place the work clamp shaft in one of the holes located
behind the miter fence. Tighten work clamp knob
securely.
m 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 BASE

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. Fig. 16
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
TO COMPOUND MITER CUT
See Figures 30 - 31.
Acompound 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.
E Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
Ш Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock handle
approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.
m Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the miter scale.
m Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
Ш Loosen the bevel lock lever and move the saw arm to the
left to the desired bevel angle.
ш Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.
Ш Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle,
securely tighten the bevel lock lever.
m Recheck miter angle setting. Make a test cut in scrap
material.
m 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.
Ш 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.

OPERATION
TO SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES € N
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.

OPERATION
A 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.
m Raise saw arm to its full height.
m 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.
m When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with

OPERATION
MAKING AN AUXILIARY FENCE 4 à
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:
m Place the wood against the miter fence and mark the hole
location from behind the fence using a pencil.
E Drill holes through the wood then countersink the holes
on the front of the wood.
Ш Secure the wood to the miter fence using flat head
screws.
m 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. bo Fig. 35 |
m Make a full 45° left miter cut and a 45° right miter cut
through the completed auxiliary fence.

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
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 applica-
tion. See the chart below for correct angle settings and correct
positioning of crown molding on miter table.
The settings in the chart below can be used for cutting All Stan-
dard (U.S.) crown molding with 52° and 38° angles. The crown
molding is placed flat on the miter table using the compound
features of your miter saw.

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL 8 N
See Figures 37 - 38.
When cutting warped material, always make sure it is posi-
tioned 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.

ADJUSTMENTS
À 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.
m Unplug the saw.
m Turn the hex nut with the blade wrench.
Ш 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.
ш Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure a piece of
scrap wood.
m Plug the saw into the power source and make a slight
cut to score the wood.
ш Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade.
m Raise the saw arm.
m Lock the switch by installing a padlock (not included)
through the hole in the switch trigger.
m 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.
Ш Once aligned, tighten the screws then remove and store
the hex key.

ADJUSTMENTS
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
m The saw arm should rise completely to the up position
by itself.
m 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 cut-
ting 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 adjust-
ments if needed.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 42.
m Unplug the saw.
Ш To adjust the depth stop use a 10 mm wrench and loosen
the hex nut located on the top of the upper saw arm.
m 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.
m Lowerthe blade into the mitertable. Check blade clearance
and maximum cutting distance (distance from fence where
blade enters) to front of miter table slot.
m Readjust if necessary.
m Tighten the hex nut with a 10 mm wrench or adjustable
wrench.
m 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.
m 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.
Ш Loosen the bevel lock lever by turning the knob
counterclockwise.
m Square the blade to the miter table as described in the
Assembly section of this manual.
ш 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.
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.

MAINTENANCE
A WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
A 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.
À WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based 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, commuta-
tors, 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 lubrica-
tion is required.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
See Figure 43.
The saw has externally accessible brush assemblies that
should be periodically checked for wear.
Proceed as follows when replacement is required:
m Unplug the saw.
m Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush assembly is
spring loaded and will pop out when you remove brush
cap.
m Remove brush assembly.
E 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.
ш Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure
curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that
brush moves freely in brush tube.
Ш Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and
replace.
m Tighten brush cap securely. Do not overtighten.
