GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Page 5
• When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of an GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of
a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery
pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Page 6
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by
a qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
MITER SAWS
• Miter saws are intended to cut wood
or wood-like products, they cannot be
used with abrasive cut-off wheels for
cutting ferrous material such as bars,
rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes
moving parts such as the lower guard
to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting
will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert
and other plastic parts.
• Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always
keep your hand at least 100 mm from
either side of the saw blade. Do not
use this saw to cut pieces that are
too small to be securely clamped or
held by hand. If your hand is placed
too close to the saw blade, there is
an increased risk of injury from blade
contact.
• The workpiece must be stationary
and clamped or held against both
the fence and the table. Do not feed
the workpiece into the blade or cut
“freehand” in any way. Unrestrained or
moving workpieces could be thrown at
high speeds, causing injury.
• Push the saw through the workpiece.
Do not pull the saw through the
workpiece. To make a cut, raise the
saw head and pull it out over the
workpiece without cutting, start the
motor, press the saw head down and
push the saw through the workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to
cause the saw blade to climb on top of
the workpiece and violently throw the
blade assembly towards the operator.
• Never cross your hand over the
intended line of cutting either in front
or behind the saw blade. Supporting
the workpiece “cross handed” i.e.
holding the workpiece to the right of
the saw blade with your left hand or
vice versa is very dangerous.
• Do not reach behind the fence with
either hand closer than 100 mm
from either side of the saw blade, to
remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning. The
proximity of the spinning saw blade to
your hand may not be obvious and you
may be seriously injured.
• Inspect your workpiece before
cutting. If the workpiece is bowed
or warped, clamp it with the outside
bowed face toward the fence. Always
make certain that there is no gap
between the workpiece, fence and
table along the line of the cut. Bent or
warped workpieces can twist or shift
and may cause binding on the spinning
saw blade while cutting. There should
be no nails or foreign objects in the
workpiece.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Page 7
• Do not use the saw until the table
is clear of all tools, wood scraps,
etc., except for the workpiece. Small
debris or loose pieces of wood or other
objects that contact the revolving blade
can be thrown with high speed.
• Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacked multiple workpieces cannot
be adequately clamped or braced and
may bind on the blade or shift during
cutting.
• Ensure the miter saw is mounted or
placed on a level, rm work surface
before use. A level and firm work
surface reduces the risk of the miter
saw becoming unstable.
• Plan your work. Every time you change
the bevel or miter angle setting,
make sure the adjustable fence is set
correctly to support the workpiece
and will not interfere with the blade or
the guarding system. Without turning
the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on
the table, move the saw blade through
a complete simulated cut to assure
there will be no interference or danger
of cutting the fence.
• Provide adequate support such as
table extensions, saw horses, etc. for
a workpiece that is wider or longer
than the table top. Workpieces longer
or wider than the miter saw table can
tip if not securely supported. If the cut-
off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift
the lower guard or be thrown by the
spinning blade.
• Do not use another person as a
substitute for a table extension or as
additional support. Unstable support
for the workpiece can cause the blade
to bind or the workpiece to shift during
the cutting operation pulling you and
the helper into the spinning blade.
• The cut-off piece must not be jammed
or pressed by any means against the
spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e.
using length stops, the cut-off piece
could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Always use a clamp or a xture
designed to properly support round
material such as rods or tubing. Rods
have a tendency to roll while being cut,
causing the blade to “bite” and pull the
work with your hand into the blade.
• Let the blade reach full speed before
contacting the workpiece. This will
reduce the risk of the workpiece being
thrown.
• If the workpiece or blade becomes
jammed, turn the miter saw off.
Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery
pack. Then work to free the jammed
material. Continued sawing with a
jammed workpiece could cause loss of
control or damage to the miter saw.
• After nishing the cut, release the
switch, hold the saw head down
and wait for the blade to stop before
removing the cut-off piece. Reaching
with your hand near the coasting blade
is dangerous.
• Hold the handle rmly when making
an incomplete cut or when releasing
the switch before the saw head is
completely in the down position. The
braking action of the saw may cause
the saw head to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR MITER SAW
• Do not operate this machine until it is
completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions. A
machine incorrectly assembled can
cause serious injury.
• Obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor, or another qualied person
if you are not thoroughly familiar
with the operation of this machine.
Knowledge is safety.
• Make certain the blade rotates in the
Page 8
correct direction. The teeth on the
blade should point in the direction of
rotation as marked on the saw.
• Tighten all clamp handles, knobs and
levers prior to operation. Loose clamps
can cause parts or the workpiece to be
thrown at high speeds.
• Be sure all blade and blade clamps are
clean, recessed sides of blade clamps
are against blade and arbor screw is
tightened securely. Loose or improper
blade clamping may result in damage
to the saw and possible personal injury.
• Do not wedge anything against the
fan to hold the motor shaft. Damage
to tool and possible personal injury
may occur.
• Never cut ferrous metals (those with
any iron or steel content) or masonry.
Either of these can cause the carbide
tips to fly off the blade at high speeds
causing serious injury.
• Do not use abrasive wheels or blades.
The excessive heat and abrasive
particles generated by them may
damage the saw and cause personal
injury.
• Never have any part of your body in
line with the path of the saw blade.
Personal injury will occur.
• Never apply blade lubrication to a
running blade. Applying lubricant
could cause your hand to move into the
blade resulting in serious injury.
• Do not place either hand in the blade
area when the saw is connected to
the power source. Inadvertent blade
activation may result in serious injury.
• Never reach around or behind the saw
blade. A blade can cause serious injury.
• Do not reach underneath the saw
unless it is unplugged and turned off.
Contact with saw blade may cause
personal injury.
• Secure the machine to a stable
supporting surface. Vibration can
possibly cause the machine to slide,
walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Use only blades of the correct size
and type specied for this tool to
prevent damage to the machine and/
or serious injury.
• Inspect blade for cracks or other
damage prior to operation. A cracked
or damaged blade can come apart and
pieces can be thrown at high speeds,
causing serious injury. Replace cracked
or damaged blades immediately.
• Clean the blade and blade clamps
prior to operation. Cleaning the blade
and blade clamps allows you to check
for any damage to the blade or blade
clamps. A cracked or damaged blade
or blade clamp can come apart and
pieces can be thrown at high speeds,
causing serious injury.
• Do not use warped blades. Check to
see if the blade runs true and is free
from vibration. A vibrating blade can
cause damage to the machine and/or
serious injury.
• Keep guard in place and in working
order.
• Always use the kerf plate and replace
this plate when damaged. Small chip
accumulation under the saw may
interfere with the saw blade or may
cause instability of workpiece when
cutting.
• Use only blade clamps specied for
this tool to prevent damage to the
machine and/or serious injury.
• Clean the motor air slots of chips
and sawdust. Clogged motor air slots
can cause the machine to overheat,
damaging the machine and possibly
causing a short which could cause
serious injury.
• Never lock the switch in the “ON”
position. Severe personal injury may
result.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or
if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
Page 9
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never leave tool running unattended.
Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
• To reduce the risk of injury, return the
saw head to the full rear position after
each crosscut operation.
• Always make sure that the miter
table and head assembly (bevel
function) are locked in position
BEFORE operating your saw. Lock the
miter table by securely tightening the
miter locking handle. Lock the head
assembly (bevel function) by securely
tightening the bevel locking knob.
• Support long workpieces when
cutting to minimize the risk of blade
pinching or kickback. The saw may
slip, walk or slide while cutting long or
heavy boards.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to hit the blade.
Always make sure you have good
balance. Never operate your saw on
the floor or in a crouched position.
• Never use solvents to clean plastic
parts. Solvents could dissolve or
otherwise damage the material.
• Do not turn the motor switch on and
off rapidly. This could cause the blade
to loosen, which could create a hazard.
Should this ever occur, stand clear
and allow the saw blade to come to
a complete stop. Disconnect the saw
from the power source and tighten the
blade bolt securely.
• Never lift this tool by gripping the
switch handle or by the miter fence.
This may cause misalignment. Always
lock the head assembly in the “DOWN”
position and carry the saw by holding
the base or lift it using the carrying
handle/support bracket.
• Always check the tool for damaged
parts. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to
determine whether it will operate
properly and perform its intended
function. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, broken parts
and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by a
qualified person.
• Use proper 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. The
following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• If the supply cord of this power tool
is damaged, it must be replaced
by a specially prepared supply
cord available through the service
organization.
• Save these instructions. Refer to
them frequently and use them to
instruct others who may use this tool. If
someone borrows this tool, make sure
he or she has these instructions also.
DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
double-insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will
fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet
properly, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
• Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three-wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply
system. This compound miter saw is a
double-insulated tool.

preforming extreme bevel cuts and most
compound cuts.
FIG. 14
Page 23
COMPOUND CUTS (FIG.15)
FIG. 15
A “compound cut” is a cross-cut made
with the blade both at a miter angle and at
a bevel angle. Because it may take several
tries to obtain the desired compound angle,
perform test cuts on scrap material before
making your cut.
1. If the cutting process is interfered by
the sliding fence, just remove the sliding
fence (refer to “INSTALL/REMOVE THE
SLIDING FENCE” section).
2. Properly position workpiece. Make sure
workpiece is clamped firmly against the
table or the fence.
3. Set miter and bevel angles according to
the instructions for miter and bevel cuts.

Molding Standing Up Against
Fence (Before Clamping)
Base moldings and many other moldings
can be cut on a miter saw. The setup of
the saw depends on the base molding
characteristics and applications, as shown.
Perform practice cuts on scrap materials to
achieve best result.
1. Always make sure that the molding
rests firmly against the fence and table
(Fig.18). Use the work clamp provided or
use C-clamps (available separately), and
place tape on the area being clamped to
avoid marks on the workpiece.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut
area prior to making the cut. Mark the
cutting line directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due
to incorrect blade style, dull blade,
thinness of workpiece, or improperly
dried wood.
4. Place the workpiece flat on the miter
table with one edge securely against the
fence.
5. Align your pencil line with the straight
line from the worklight.
6. When cutting long workpieces, use
extension bars for extra support.
7. Carefully follow all instructions for
applicable miter, bevel or compound
cuts.
OPERATION
Page 25
CUTTING CROWN MOULDING
(FIG.19)
Your miter saw is ideal for cutting crown
molding. To fit properly, crown molding
must be compound-mitered with extreme
accuracy. To fit flat against the ceiling and
wall, the sum of the angles of the crown
molding’s two connecting surfaces must
equal 90°.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for
compound miter cuts, remember that the
settings are interdependent; changing one
also changes the other.
Keep in mind that, because it is very easy
for the angles of crown molding to shift
slightly, all settings should be tested on
scrap molding. Also, most walls do not have
angles of precisely 90°; therefore, you will
need to fine-tune your settings.
When cutting crown molding, the bevel
angle should be set at 33.9°, and the miter
angle should be set at 31.6° either left or
right, depending upon the desired cut for
the application.
See the following table for correct angle
settings and correct positioning of the
crown molding on the miter table.
Crown molding has a high top rear spring
angle (the section that fits flat against the
ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear spring
angle (the section that fits flat against the
wall) of 38°.

WARNING:
When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts. Use of
any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
WARNING:
To avoid serious
personal injury, always unplug the power
from the product when cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
Periodic maintenance allows for long life
and trouble-free operation. A cleaning,
lubrication and maintenance schedule
should be maintained. As a common
preventive maintenance practice, follow
these recommended steps:
1. When work has been completed, clean
the tool to allow smooth functioning of
the tool over time.
2. Use clean damp cloths to wipe the tool.
3. Check the state of all electrical cables.
4. Keep the motor air openings free of oil,
grease and sawdust or woodchips, and
store the tool in a dry place.
5. Be certain that all moving parts are well
lubricated with silicone or light oil spray,
particularly after lengthy exposure to
damp and/or dirty conditions. Do not
use grease, because it tends to attract
and hold sawdust.
6. Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, or any other
condition that may affect the operation.
7. If abnormal vibration or noise occurs,
turn the saw off immediately, and have
the problem corrected before further
use.
SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate
under the table and base. This could cause
difficulty in the movement of the table when
setting up a miter cut. Frequently blow out
or vacuum up the sawdust.
LOWER BLADE GUARD
Do not use the saw without the lower blade
guard.
The lower blade guard is attached to the
saw for your protection. Should the lower
guard become damaged, do not use the
saw until the damaged guard has been
replaced. Check regularly to make sure the
lower guard is working properly. Clean the
lower guard of any dust or buildup with a
damp cloth.
