GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
USA007-1  
(For All Tools)  
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the  
owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s  
applications and limitations, as well as the  
specific potential hazards peculiar to it.  
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear  
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,  
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get  
caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear  
is recommended. Wear protective hair  
covering to contain long hair.  
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working  
order.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also  
use face or dust mask if cutting operation  
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have  
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT  
safety glasses.  
3. REMOVE  
ADJUSTING  
KEYS  
AND  
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to  
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are  
removed from tool before turning it on.  
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered  
areas and benches invite accidents.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to  
hold work when practical. It’s safer than  
using your hand and it frees both hands  
to operate tool.  
5. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON-  
MENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or  
wet locations, or expose them to rain.  
Keep work area well lighted. Don’t use  
tool in presence of flammable liquids or  
gases.  
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing  
and balance at all times.  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools  
sharp and clean for best and safest perfor-  
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating  
and changing accessories.  
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors  
should be kept safe distance from work  
area.  
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing;  
when changing accessories such as  
blades, bits, cutters, and the like.  
7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with pad-  
locks, master switches, or by removing  
starter keys.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL  
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off  
position before plugging in.  
8. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet-  
ter and safer at the rate for which it was  
designed.  
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.  
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-  
mended accessories. The use of improper  
accessories may cause risk of injury to  
persons.  
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or  
attachment to do a job for which it was not  
designed.  
3
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury  
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the  
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.  
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-  
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave  
tool until it comes to a complete stop.  
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further  
use of the tool, a guard or other part that  
is damaged should be carefully checked  
to determine that it will operate properly  
and perform its intended function - check  
for alignment of moving parts, binding of  
moving parts, breakage of parts, mount-  
ing, and any other conditions that may  
affect its operation. A guard or other part  
that is damaged should be properly  
repaired or replaced.  
22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing  
use only identical replacement parts.  
23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of  
electric shock, this equipment has  
a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than  
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized  
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit  
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it  
still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-  
trician to install the proper outlet. Do not  
change the plug in any way.  
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a  
blade or cutter against the direction of  
rotation of the blade or cutter only.  
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet,  
etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.  
A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS  
INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE  
TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the  
motor.  
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. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and  
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-  
ber, the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES  
USB036-2  
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from  
repeated use) replace strict adherence to slide compound saw  
safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can  
suffer serious personal injury.  
1. Wear eye protection.  
12. Check the blade carefully for cracks or  
damage before operation. Replace  
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.  
Avoid contact with any coasting blade. It  
can still cause severe injury.  
cracked or damaged blade immediately.  
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades  
slows saw and increases potential for  
kickback. Keep blade clean by first remov-  
ing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum  
and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.  
Never use gasoline to clean blade.  
3. Do not operate saw without guards in  
place. Check blade guard for proper clos-  
ing before each use. Do not operate saw if  
blade guard does not move freely and  
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the  
blade guard into the open position.  
13. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can  
occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade  
binds in the workpiece during a cutting  
operation and the saw blade is driven  
back rapidly towards the operator. Loss of  
control and serious personal injury can  
result. If blade begins to bind during a cut-  
ting operation, do not continue to cut and  
release switch immediately.  
4. Do not perform any operation freehand.  
The workpiece must be secured firmly  
against the turn base and guide fence with  
a vise during all operations. Never use  
your hand to secure the workpiece.  
5. Never reach around saw blade.  
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to  
stop before moving workpiece or chang-  
ing settings.  
14. Use only flanges specified for this tool.  
15. Be careful not to damage the arbor,  
flanges (especially the installing surface)  
or bolt. Damage to these parts could  
result in blade breakage.  
7. Unplug tool before changing blade or ser-  
vicing.  
8. To reduce the risk of injury, return car-  
riage to the full rear position after each  
crosscut operation.  
16. Make sure that the turn base is properly  
secured so it will not move during opera-  
tion. Use the holes in the base to fasten  
the saw to a stable work platform or  
bench. NEVER use tool where operator  
positioning would be awkward.  
9. Always secure all moving portions before  
carrying the tool.  
10. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head  
down is for carrying and storage pur-  
poses only and not for any cutting opera-  
tions.  
17. For your safety, remove the chips, small  
pieces, etc. from the table top before oper-  
ation.  
11. Do not use the tool in the presence of  
flammable liquids or gases.  
18. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and  
remove all nails from the workpiece  
before operation.  
5
19. Make sure the shaft lock is released  
before the switch is turned on.  
28. Always use accessories recommended in  
this manual. Use of improper accessories  
such as abrasive wheels may cause an  
injury.  
20. Be sure that the blade does not contact  
the turn base in the lowest position.  
29. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of  
blade with left hand or vice versa. This is  
called cross-armed cutting and exposes  
user to risk of SERIOUS PERSONAL  
INJURY as shown in the figure. ALWAYS  
use vise to secure workpiece.  
21. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the  
saw moves up or down slightly during  
start-up and stopping.  
22. Make sure the blade is not contacting the  
workpiece before the switch is turned on.  
23. Before using the tool on an actual work-  
piece, let it run for a while. Watch for  
vibration or wobbling that could indicate  
poor installation or a poorly balanced  
blade.  
24. Wait until the blade attains full speed  
before cutting.  
25. Stop operation immediately if you notice  
anything abnormal.  
30. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to  
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep  
cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp  
objects.  
26. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on  
position.  
27. Be alert at all times, especially during  
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do  
not be lulled into a false sense of security.  
Blades are extremely unforgiving.  
31. NEVER stack workpieces on the table top  
to speed cutting operations. Cut only one  
piece at a time.  
32. Some material contains chemicals which  
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust  
inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate-  
rial supplier safety data.

In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the  
blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of the  
blade guard should be corrected immediately. Check to  
assure spring loaded return action of guard. NEVER USE  
THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAM-  
AGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY  
DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL  
INJURY.

If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust  
adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no longer easily  
visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard carefully with a  
damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based  
cleaners on the plastic guard.  
001782  
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through the  
guard is impaired, use the supplied socket wrench to loosen  
the hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by  
turning it counterclockwise and raise the blade guard and  
center cover. With the blade guard so positioned, cleaning  
can be more completely and efficiently accomplished. When  
cleaning is complete, reverse procedure above and secure

OPERATION  
CAUTION:  
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the  
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.  
Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc.  
before the switch is turned on.  
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when  
cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the  
motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down  
handle with only as much force as is necessary for  
smooth cutting and without significant decrease in blade  
speed.  
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the  
handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is  
applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw  
mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will  
be impaired.  
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the  
guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement  
is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the  
workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.  
15  
002177  
1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)  
Workpieces up to 75 mm (2-15/16) high and 140 mm  
(5-1/2) wide can be cut in the following way.  
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and  
tighten the clamp screw on the turn base clockwise to  
secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece with the vise.  
Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact  
and wait until the blade attains full speed before lower-  
ing. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered  
position to cut the workpiece. When the cut is com-  
pleted, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE  
HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning  
the blade to its fully elevated position.  
CAUTION:  
Firmly tighten the clamp screw on the turn base  
clockwise so that the carriage will not move during  
operation. Insufficient tightening may cause unexpected  
kickback of the blade. Possible serious PERSONAL  
INJURY may result.  
002178  
2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)  
Loosen the clamp screw on the turn base counterclock-  
wise so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the  
workpiece with the vise. Pull the carriage toward you  
fully. Switch on the tool without the blade making any  
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Press  
down the handle and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD  
THE GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORK-  
PIECE. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool  
and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COM-  
PLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully ele-  
vated position.  
CAUTION:  
Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THE  
CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the  
handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE  
CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. NEVER  
START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY  
PULLED TOWARD YOU. If you perform the slide cut  
without pulling the carriage fully or if you perform the  
slide cut toward your direction, the blade may kickback  
unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious  
PERSONAL INJURY.  
16  
Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in the  
lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.  
Never loosen the clamp screw which secures the  
carriage while the blade is rotating. This may cause  
serious injury.  
3. Miter cutting  
Refer to the previously covered Adjusting the miter  
angle.  
002179  
4. Bevel cut  
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel  
angle (Refer to the previously covered Adjusting the  
bevel angle). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to  
secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the work-  
piece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the  
way back toward the operator. Switch on the tool without  
the blade making any contact and wait until the blade  
attains full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the  
fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel  
with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD  
THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. When  
the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL  
THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP  
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.  
CAUTION:  
Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel  
direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of  
saw blade.  
During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby the  
piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the  
blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still  
rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing  
fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade  
should be raised ONLY after the blade has come to a  
complete stop.  
When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallel  
to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the blade  
during a cut, the angle of the blade might be shifted and  
the precision of the cut will be impaired.  
5. Compound cutting  
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle  
is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being  
cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed  
at angle shown in the table.

6. Cutting crown and cove moldings  
Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound  
miter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base.  
001555  
There are two common types of crown moldings and one  
type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown molding,  
45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall angle cove  
molding. See illustrations.

There are crown and cove molding joints which are  
made to fit Inside90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. A) and  
Outside90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).  
Measuring  
Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table to  
cut wall contact edge to desired length. Always make  
sure that cut workpiece length at the back of the work-  
piece is the same as wall length. Adjust cut length for  
angle of cut. Always use several pieces for test cuts to  
check the saw angles.

7. Cutting aluminum extrusion  
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks  
or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent  
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant  
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up  
of the aluminum material on the blade.

CAUTION:  
1. Vise  
Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extrusions.  
Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose during  
operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot be  
secured firmly with this tool.

8. Wood facing  
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in  
workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence  
using the holes in the guide fence.  
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-  
gested wood facing.

CAUTION:  
Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood facing.  
When cutting workpieces from 75 mm (2-15/16) to  
90 mm (3-1/2) high, use a wood facing to prevent a  
portion of the workpiece near the guide fence from being  
left uncut.  
Example:  
When cutting workpieces 90 mm (3-1/2) high, use  
a wood facing with the following thickness.

CAUTION:  
Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide fence.  
The screws should be installed so that the screw heads  
are below the surface of the wood facing.  
When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn  
base with the handle lowered. The blade and/or the  
wood facing will be damaged.

9. Cutting repetitive lengths  
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,  
ranging from 255 mm (10) to 415 mm (16-5/16), use of  
the set plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more effi-  
cient operation. Install the set plate on the holder  
(optional accessory) as shown in the figure.  
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the  
left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and while  
holding the workpiece from moving, move the set plate  
flush against the end of the workpiece. Then secure the  
set plate with the screw. When the set plate is not used,  
loosen the screw and turn the set plate out of the way.

10. Groove cutting  
1
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:  
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the stop-  
per plate to limit the cutting depth of the blade. To adjust  
it, slightly loosen the hex bolt securing the stopper plate  
with the socket wrench. Push the carriage toward the  
guide fence fully and lower the handle. When the blade  
reaches the desired cutting depth, adjust the stopper  
plate so that it contacts the blade case. Then tighten the  
hex bolt firmly to secure the stopper plate. With the tool  
unplugged, be sure that the blade will not lower beyond  
the desired cutting depth when the handle is lowered  
completely.  
1. Cut grooves with blade  
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut  
parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece using  
a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then remove  
the workpiece material between the grooves with a  
chisel. Do not attempt to perform this type of cut using  
wide (thick) blades or with a dado blade. Possible loss of  
control and injury may result.  
23  
CAUTION:  
Be sure to return the stopper plate to the original  
position when performing other than groove cutting.

by pushing in the stopper pin.
