follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury..  
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS  
Keep the work area clean at all times. Cluttered areas around the Miter Saw  
can cause unexpected accidents if the debris comes in contact with the moving  
parts of the Miter Saw.  
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when perform-  
ing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own  
cord.  
Contact with a live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool  
“live” and shock the operator.  
Maintain a proper work environment. Do not operate the Miter Saw in damp  
or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water can cause the electrical  
components to malfunction resulting in damage to the Miter Saw and/or  
serious injury or death to the operator.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR MITER SAWS  
Dont force the tool. The Miter Saw will do a better job and be safer if cutting  
operations are performed at the proper speeds as expressed in this manual.  
Avoid prolonged contact with dust created by the Miter Saw. Allowing the  
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on your skin promotes the absorption  
of harmful chemicals into your body.  
Wear all necessary protective gear, including goggles, ear plugs and a dust  
mask.  
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed in  
this manual may result in property damage, damage to the tool, or serious per-  
sonal injury or even death.  
Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade.  
DO NOT operate saw without guards in place.  
Do not stand directly in front of the Miter Saw. Loose fragments could fly off  
at high speeds possibly causing injury.  
Unpack the Miter Saw completely from its carton. Inspect the saw and acces-  
sories and ensure they are free from defects or breakage due to shipping.  
Properly support extra-long or extra-wide workpieces. Workpieces that are  
too long or too wide can tip and cause the blade to seize resulting in a sudden  
kickback motion resulting in damage to the workpiece and Miter Saw as well as  
possible severe injury to the operator.  
Do not operate this Miter Saw until it is completely assembled according to  
the instructions in this manual. Failure to adhere to these instructions could  
result in serious and/or permanent injury to the operator.  
Make sure approved eye protection is being worn and properly adjusted and  
secured at all times the Miter Saw is in use. Everyday eyeglasses only have  
impact-resistant lenses and ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety glasses must  
conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Approved safety glasses and goggles will  
have Z87 printed or stamped on them.  
Do not perform any operation freehand. The workpiece must be tight against the  
fence to prevent the piece from moving while it is being cut. Keep the area between  
the saw and the workpiece free of debris. Clamp the workpiece if necessary.  
NEVER reach around the blade.  
Turn tool off and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or  
changing settings.  
Follow all wiring codes. Use only properly grounded three-hole grounded  
receptacles. DO NOT cut the third prong off the power cord. When using an  
extension cord, use only UL Listed extension cords with minimum 16 AWG  
wiring and a maximum length of 25 feet.  
Use 10" blades only. NEVER use blades above or below the rated blade diam-  
eter. NEVER use blades recommended for operation at less than 4800 RPM.

NEVER allow bystanders behind the saw or close enough to the workpiece to  
be hit by flying debris.  
Release lower guard retraction mechanism after each cut and before  
moving or removing the workpiece.  
Round material such as dowel rods or tubing may roll when cut. Clamp

securely before cutting.  
on the table and the Miter Saw is turned on. Severe injury could result.  
Check that the workpiece is free of nails or other foreign objects.  
Make sure ventilation slots are clear of dust or debris.  
Always clamp the workpiece firmly against the work table. Never attempt  
to hold the workpiece by hand. The blade can seize in the workpiece causing it  
to spin rapidly. This will cause loss of control of the workpiece resulting in  
severe injuries or damage to the workpiece and Miter Saw.  
Mount the saw to a work bench or table before use to prevent unexpected  
saw movement. If the saw moves during use, it could cause injury to the oper-  
ator and/or damage to the workpiece.  
DO NOT cut materials that could shatter or grab the blade.  
Make sure the blade is loaded correctly. The arrow on the blade should point  
in the same direction as the arrow on the upper blade cover. Blade teeth should  
point downward.  
NEVER lubricate the blade while it is in motion.  
Before moving the saw, make sure the cord is unplugged and the handle is  
locked in the down position. To avoid back injury, do not attempt to lift the saw  
by yourself.  
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Ensure the ON/OFF” switch is set  
to the OFF” position before plugging the power cord into the AC outlet.  
Give the saw a test run before cutting. If the tool vibrates excessively or makes  
unusual noises, stop operating the saw immediately and correct the problem.  
NEVER use a dull blade. Keep blade sharp and free from dents or damage.  
Make sure the blade is properly aligned. Unplug the cord and use your hand to  
spin the blade. The blade should spin smoothly without making contact with any  
other part of the saw. If there is contact, realign the blade before using the saw.  
Make sure the blade is loaded correctly. The arrow on the blade should point  
in the same direction as the arrow on the upper blade cover. Blade teeth should  
point downward.  
Make sure the blade and blade guards are free from debris.  
Make sure the blade guards are properly installed.  
Never hold or clamp the waste portion of the material. Cutoff pieces must be  
free to move aside or they may wedge against the blade and cause injury to the  
operator or damage to the workpiece.  
Check all screws and fastenings before use. Make sure the blade screw is  
If the blade becomes clogged with debris, release the trigger switch and let  
the blade come to a complete stop before unplugging the tool and removing  
the debris.  
tight and secure.  
Cut only one piece of material at a time. Leave enough room for the waste  
piece to move once it is cut or it may become wedged against the blade and cre-  
ate a hazard.  
After finishing a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come  
to a complete stop before raising the handle.  
Be extremely careful when cutting pieces that are very large, very small or  
oddly shaped. Make sure all oddly shaped pieces are held securely so they can-  
not slip or cause kickback. Moulding should be clamped down flat before cut-  
ting.  
Make sure the blade is up to speed before lowering it into the workpiece.  
Do not use this compound miter saw for cutting ferrous metals or steel.  
Cutting non-ferrous metals can be dangerous. Follow all  
Safety instructions carefully.  
DO NOT let the workpiece sag or bend. If necessary, use tables or sawhorses  
to support the piece while cutting.  
Use only blades specifically made for cutting non-ferrous metal.  
NEVER let your fingers get closer than 4" to the blade. You cannot cut any  
workpiece that requires you to get your hand closer than 4" to the blade.  
Non-ferrous metals should be cut only under the supervision of an experi-  
enced person.

ARBOR SCREW,  
WASHER, OUTER  
BLADE GUARD.  
TO CHANGE THE BLADE:  
2. Pull out the handle lock.  
1. Make sure the saw is in the up position.  
3. Release the handle and let the  
saw rise up to the operating  
position.  
2. Remove the three mounting screws (as  
indicated by arrows) and remove the  
lower guard.  
3. Push in on the arbor lock to keep the  
blade from spinning and use the  
OPERATING THE HANDLE LOCK  
socket wrench (included with the saw)  
to turn the arbor screw clockwise.  
SAFE OPERATING POSITIONS  
CHANGING THE BLADE  
Never cut any workpiece that is so small you cannot  
keep your hands a safe distance from the blade.  
4. Remove the arbor screw, washer,  
outer blade guard and blade. Leave  
inner blade guard in place.  
Never stand directly behind the Miter Saw. Keep your face and body out of the path  
of flying debris.  
5. Clean area thoroughly, removing all  
dust particles and debris before  
replacing blade.  
Keep balanced at all times. Do not reach in front of the blade.  
Keep workpiece pressed against the fence while cutting. Do not move your hand  
until after the trigger is released and the blade has stopped spinning.  
Before cutting, double-check your proposed cutting path by making a dry run with  
the power turned off or by checking the blade path with the laser.  
SPRING LOADED  
PLATE  
Never let long workpieces sag. This could cause the saw to catch and kick back. Long  
workpieces should be supported by the table extensions or other appropriate means.  
Make sure the bevel adjustment knob and the bevel stop are both securely tightened  
before using the saw.  
CHANGING THE BLADE  
6. Make sure the new blade is 10"  
(25.4cm) in diameter.  
CHANGING THE BLADE  
7. Slide the blade into place, making sure  
that the arrow on the blade matches the  
direction of the arrow on the upper blade  
guard.  
Carbide-tipped blades are very brittle and can be easily  
bent or broken. NEVER use a blade that has bent, broken, missing or loose  
carbide tips. Damaged tips can cause personal injury.

8. Replace the outer blade guard, the washer and the arbor screw. Push in on the  
arbor lock and turn the arbor screw counter-clockwise until tight.  
CUTTING CROWN MOULDING, TRIMS AND BASEBOARDS  
Cutting crown moulding, trims and baseboards must be done very accurately. If the  
angles are not correct, the mouldings will not fit flush with the wall, the ceiling or  
each other.  
9. Return the Lower Guard to its location as in step 1.  
10.Turn the spring loaded mounting plate until its two mounting holes are lined up  
with the holes on the Upper Guard.  
Always practice on scrap material before attempting to  
cut the final workpiece.  
11.Secure the Lower Guard with the three mounting screws that were removed in  
step 2.  
BASEBOARDS  
MAKING A MITER CUT  
1. To prevent damaging the surface of the moulding, tape all contact areas before  
clamping.  
1. Turn the miter handle counter-clockwise to unlock.  
2. Press down on the thumb tab above the handle and turn the miter table to  
the angle desired.  
2. Make sure workpiece lies flat against the miter table with one edge pressed  
firmly against the fence.  
3. Release the thumb tab and tighten the handle to lock the table into position.  
3. Clamp into place with C-clamps or vise clamps.  
4. To avoid splintering, place tape over the area to be cut.  
5. Mark the cut line on the tape.  
Before cutting, position your body out of the line of flying debris. Never  
stand in front of the saw.  
4.  
CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL  
6. Make sure you have the right type of blade for the project. If the blade type is  
not correct, the moulding may break or splinter.  
CROWN MOULDING  
Cutting a bowed piece of material incorrectly could lead  
When cutting crown moulding, use extreme care to get the cut surfaces angled cor-  
rectly. When two cut pieces come together, they should make a 90° angle.  
to kickback and serious personal injury.  
Always inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the material is bowed, make sure  
the bowed portion points down when you are cutting.  
1. To prevent damaging the surface of the moulding, tape all contact areas before  
clamping.  
MAKING A BEVEL CUT  
2. Lay moulding down on the widest part of the back. Make sure workpiece lies  
flat against the miter table with one edge pressed firmly against the fence.  
1. Loosen the bevel lock knob.  
3. Clamp into place with C-clamps or vise clamps.  
4. To avoid splintering, place tape over the area to be cut.  
5. Mark the cut line on the tape.  
2. Tilt the blade to the desired angle.  
3. Tighten the bevel lock knob.  
4. Stand to the left of the handle while making the cut.  
6. Make sure you have the right type of blade for the project. If the blade type is  
not correct, the moulding may break or splinter.  
MAKING A COMPOUND CUT  
1. Loosen the bevel lock knob, tilt the blade to the desired angle and tighten the  
bevel lock knob.  
7. Remember that the angle settings for two adjoining pieces of moulding are  
dependent on each other. If you change the angle of one side, you must also  
change the angle of the corresponding side. For instance, if you subtract 5°  
from the left side, you must add 5° to the right side.  
2. Loosen the miter handle, press down the thumb tab and move the miter table  
to the angle you need. Tighten the miter handle to keep it in place.  
8. Always practice on scrap material to make sure the angles are correct before  
attempting to cut the final workpiece.  
3. Keep your body in line with the handle while making the cut.

Make sure the lower blade guard is operating properly before each use. If the lower  
blade guard is damaged or missing, do not use your saw.  
1. Set bevel at 33.9°.  
Never use solvent or harsh detergents to clean the lower  
blade guard. Solvent will damage the plastic. Clean with a damp cloth only.  
2. Set miter at RIGHT 31.6°.  
3. Place the TOP of the moulding against the fence.  
4. The finished side is the LEFT side of the cut piece.

ACCESSORIES  
Right side  
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.  
1. Set bevel at 33.9°.  
If the Miter Saw must be used outside, use an extension cord labeled “ W-A or  
W” . These extension cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the chances of  
electrical shock.  
2. Set miter at RIGHT 31.6°.  
3. Place the TOP of the moulding against the fence.  
4. The finished side is the RIGHT side of the cut piece.  
If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry  
the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experi-  
ence a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge  
number, the heavier the cord (see table below).
