SPECIFIC RULES FOR MITER SAWS
13. Before making compound miter cuts, ensure that the work head is securely fixed in the desired position.
14. Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.
15. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpieces and remove all nails and other foreign objects before beginning to saw.
16. Support the work properly.
17. Never reach over the blade to remove waste or cut-offs.
18. Do not attempt to free a jammed blade while the machine is still running.
19. Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to rest naturally.
20. If you’re interrupted during operation, complete the task at hand and turn the saw off before looking up.
21. Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fastenersare properly tightened.
22. Always hold the saw by the insulated parts. If you accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable, the
metal parts of the saw will become electrified. Turn off and unplug immediately.
23.Connect the saw to a dust collection device that is operating properly.
24. Wear gloves when handling saw blades.
25. Keep the floor area around the machine level, well maintained and free of loose materials such as wood chips
and cut-offs.
26. During slide cutting, always push the saw blade away as opposed to pulling it back towards you.
27. Always use stands to provide support for pieces that extend past the worktable.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protect-
ing insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the
tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product 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 product to your
nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
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 result-
ing in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should
be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on
the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
TRANSPORTATION
Only lift the miter saw after switching off the saw, locking down the saw arm, and unplugging the machine from its
power source. Only lift the saw by the carrying handle located on top of the motor or by the outer castings. Do not
lift the saw using the guard or the operating handle.
BENCH MOUNTING
The saw base has holes in each corner to facilitate bench mounting (FIGURE 1).
1. Mount and fix the saw to a level, horizontal bench or worktable using four
bolts (not included).
2. If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 1/2˝ or thicker plywood
which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
and reclamped.
CAUTION: Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped. Uneven
surfaces can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.
RELEASE KNOB
The release knob is provided for holding the cutting head during transporta-
tion or storage. The saw must never be used while the release knob is locking
the head down.
SLIDE LOCK KNOB
When tightened, the slide lock knob (FIGURE 3) prevents the saw head from
sliding. Tighten the slide lock knob during transportation.
MITER TABLE LOCK
The miter table lock is used to lock the table at the desired miter angle (FIG-
URE 4).
The miter saw cuts from 0° to 45° both left and right. To adjust the angle,
loosen the miter table lock,hold the miter release handle and rotate to the de-
sired miter angle. Relock the table in place. The miter table features positive
click stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° in both directions for quick setting
of common miter angles.
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter table lock before making
a cut. Failure to do so can cause the table to move during the cut,
resulting in serious personal injury.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEVEL LOCK
The bevel lock is used to set the blade at the desired bevel angle
(FIGURE 5). The miter saw bevels from 0° to 45° left only.
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the bevel lock before making a cut. Failure
to do so could result in the saw arm moving during the cut and cause serious
personal injury.
HOLD DOWN CLAMP ASSEMBLY
The hold down clamp assembly can be mounted to the fence on either side of the
saw blade depending on what suits the task at hand. Use the clamp assembly lock
at the back of the fence to secure teh clamp assembly in position (FIGURE 6).
Note: use only one clamp at a time.
SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
The spindle lock button prevents the blade in the saw from rotating (FIGURE 7).
Depress and hold the spindle lock button while installing, changing or removing
the blade.
ROTATING LOWER BLADE GUARD
The rotating lower blade guard provides protection from both sides of the blade
(FIGURE 8). It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw is lowered onto the
workpiece.
DUST COLLECTION BAG
The dust collection bag fits over the dust extraction port. For more efficient
operation, empty the dust bag when it is half full. This allows better air flow
through the bag.
ATTACHING THE MATERIAL SUPPORT ARMS
The material support arms help to support the material when working with long
workpieces. There are two location holes for support bars on either side of the
table. Loosen the lock screws with the hex key. Ensure the side bars are fully
inserted before using them to support the workpiece (FIGURE 9).
The side support bar locking knob must be tightened to secure the support bars
in position (FIGURE 9).
