MOUNTING THE MITER SAW (FIG. 18)
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected saw
movement, read and follow the instructions below.
Before moving the saw, unplug electric cord. Lock the
■
miter and bevel knobs and lock the power head in the
lower position.
To reduce the risk of back injury, hold the tool close to
■
your body when lifting. Bend your knees so you can lift
with your legs, not your back. Lift by using the handhold
areas at each side of the bottom of the base, by the
carrying han-dle, or the handles on the front of base.
Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or the
■
trigger grip of the plastic handle. Carrying the tool by
the power cord could cause damage to the insulation or
the wire connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
Place the saw so other people cannot stand behind it.
■
Thrown debris could injure people in its path.
Place the saw on a firm, level surface where there is
■
plenty of room for handling and properly supporting
the workpiece.
Support the saw so the table is level and the saw
■
does not rock.
Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
■
Place the saw in the desired location either on a work
bench or other recom-mended leg set. The base of the
saw has eight holes to mount the miter saw. Four smaller
holes for screws are labeled A. Four holes for bolts are
labeled B. If the saw is to be used in one location,
permanently fasten it to the work bench or leg set.
NOTE: When mounted on a large flat sur-face, the miter
saw table is 114.3 mm high.
PORTABLE APPLICATIONS
To mount the saw to a 19 mm piece of ply-wood, use 4,
6,35 mm (1/4") bolt holes or the 4 screw holes. The
mounting board can then be clamped down to prevent
it from tipping. Plywood mount also helps protect saw
from damage during the rough handling associated with
portable mitor saw usage.
WORK BENCH APPLICATIONS
Mount as specified in portable applica-tions. Check for
workpiece clearances to left and right of saw.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BASIC SAW
OPERATIONS
BEFORE EACH USE INSPECT YOUR SAW.
DISCONNECT THE MITER SAW.
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting,
unplug the saw, before changing the setup, changing the
blade or adjusting anything. Compare the direction of
rotation arrow on the guard to the direction arrow on the
blade. The blade teeth should always point downward at
the front of the saw. Check the blade screw and
coverplate screw for security.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Check for:
Proper alignment of moving parts,
■
Damaged electric cords,
■
Binding of moving parts,
■
Broken parts,
■
Stable mounting
■
Function of arm return spring and lower guard:
■
Push the arm all the way down, then let it rise up until
it stops by itself. Check the lower guard to see if it
closed fully. If it did not, follow the instructions in the
"Troubleshooting" section.
Smooth, solid movement of sliding assembly.
■
Other conditions that may affect the way the miter
■
saw works. If any part of this miter saw if missing,
bent, or broken in any way, or any electrical parts
don't work, turn the saw off and unplug it. Replace
damaged, missing,
Keep Guards In Place, in working order, and in
■
proper adjustment.
Maintain Tools With Care. Keep the miter saw clean
■
for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating. DON'T put lubricants on the blade
while it's spinning.
Remove Adjusting Keys And Wrenches from tool
■
before turning it on.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM
JAMS, SLIPS OR THROWN PIECES
Use Only Recommended Accessories. The use of
■
improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to persons.
Choose the right 305 mm diameter blade for the saw
■
and material you plan to cut.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BASIC SAW
OPERATIONS
Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and
■
properly aligned. With the saw unplugged, push the
power head all the way down. Hand spin the blade
and check for clearance. Tilt the power-head to
45 degree bevel and repeat the check. If the blade
hits anything, make the adjustments shown in the
Maintaining "Alignment (Adjustments)" section.
Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.
■
Make sure the collars' recessed sides are facing
■
the blade.
Using 6.35 mm hex end of combination wrench
■
(supplied), make sure the left hand thread arbor
screw is firmly tightened counterclockwise.
Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and there is
■
no excessive play in any parts.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
■
invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery. To reduce
the risk of burns or other fire damage, never use the
miter saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
PLAN AHEAD TO PROTECT YOUR EYES,
HANDS, FACE AND EARS
Know your miter saw. Read and understand the
■
owner 's manual and labels affixed to the tool.
Learn its application and limitations as well as the
specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.To
reduce the risk of injury from accidental contact with
moving parts, don't do layout, assembly, or setup
work on the miter saw while any parts are moving.
Reduce the Risk of Accidental Starting, make sure
■
switch is "OFF" before plugging miter saw into a
power outlet.
Plan your work. Use The Right Tool. Don't force tool
■
or attachment to do a job it was not designed to do.
Use a different tool for any workpiece that can't be
held in a solidly braced, fixed position.
CAUTION
Because of the sliding action of this saw,
this machine is not designed for cutting metals.
Use this miter saw to cut only wood, and wood
like products. Other materials may shatter, bind
on the blade, start fires or create other dangers.
PREPARING TO MAKE THE CUT
Inspect Your Workpiece. Make sure there are no nails
■
or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
Plan your work to avoid thrown pieces caused when
■
the workpiece binds on the blade and is torn from
your hands.
Plan how you will make the cut.
■
Always:
Make sure the blade is not spinning.
■
Raise the blade.
■
Slide the saw out above the front edge of the
■
workpiece before starting saw, and
Push the lower guard safety lock knob (19) to release
■
the lower guard, than push the sawblade down on top
of the wood and back toward the rear of the saw to
make the cut.
DANGER
NEVER pull the saw toward you during a cut.
The blade can suddenly climb up on top of the
workpiece and force itself toward you.
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to
■
finish.
BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
MAKING COMMON SLIDE COMPOUND CUTS
There are two types of cuts that can be made with the
slide compound miter saw;
Slide Cutting:
■
- The slide lock knob is left loose, the cutting head is
pulled towards the operator, the sawblade is
lowered into the workpiece and then pushed to the
rear of the saw to complete the cut.
- Used for cutting wide pieces.
Chop Cutting (Fig. 21):
■
- The slide lock knob is tightened and the saw handle
is o pushed down to cut through the workpiece.
- This type of cut is used mainly for narrow pieces.
WARNING
For your convenient use and safety, your saw
has a blade brake. The brake is not a safety
device. Never rely on it to replace proper use of
the guard on your saw. If the blade does not stop
within 6 seconds, unplug the saw and follow the
instructions in the Trouble Shooting section for
fixing the brake before using saw again.
