1.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ElECTRICAl SAFETY
grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
2.
3.
Double insulated tools are equipped with 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 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.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
4.
5.
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 Power Cord. Never use Power Cord to carry the tools or
pull Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately.
Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
ꢀ.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAl SAFETY
1.
2.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

ꢀ.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in
power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is 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. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI approved safety glasses
underneath a full face shield, a dust mask or respirator, and hearing
protection.
TOOl USE AND CARE
1.
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of
control. Only work on a workpiece that is properly secured.
2.
3.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.
4.
Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5.
ꢀ.
ꢁ.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do
not use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
cracking or breakage of the Saw Blade, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
ꢂ.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.

10.
Before using the Miter Saw, make sure the Saw Blade is properly mounted
on the Saw Spindle. Make sure the Saw Blade is balanced, and is not cracked
or bent.
11.
12.
13.
14.
The Saw Blade will become hot while cutting. Allow the Saw Blade to
completely cool before touching.
Make sure the workpiece is free from nails and any other foreign objects
which can damage the Saw Blade.
Keep your body positioned to either side of the Saw Blade, but not in line
with the Saw Blade. “Kickback” can cause the Saw to jump backwards.
Causes and operator prevention of “kickback”: Kickback is a sudden
reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an uncontrolled
Saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When the Saw Blade
is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the Saw Blade stalls and
the Motor reaction drives the tool rapidly toward the operator. If the Saw Blade
becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the Saw
Blade can dig into the top surface of the workpiece, causing the Saw Blade to
climb out of the kerf and jump toward the operator. Kickback is a result of tool
misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
minimized by taking proper precautions as given below:
a. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the Saw, and position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
b. When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, release the Power Switch and hold the Saw motionless in the
workpiece until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the Saw Blade from the workpiece or pull the Saw backward while
the Saw Blade is in motion or kickback can occur.
c. When restarting the Saw in the workpiece, center the Saw Blade in the
kerf and check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece. If
the Saw Blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as
the Saw is restarted.
d. Support large panels to minimize the risk of Saw Blade pinching and
kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must
be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel.
e. Do not use a dull or damaged Saw Blade. Unsharpened or improperly set
Saw Blades produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, Saw Blade
binding and kickback.
f. Make sure all Saw adjustments are tight and secure before making a cut.
If Saw adjustments shift while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

The Cross Pin (28) should always be in the “locked down” position when
the Saw is not being used and when the Saw is being transported. The
Cross Pin should be activated in the “locked up” position when changing
Saw Blades. NEVER use the Cross Pin in any cutting operation. The Cross
Pin allows the operator to lock the Saw Blade in position, preventing the Saw
Blade from being raised or lowered.
1ꢀ.
1ꢁ.
Allow the Saw Blade to spin up to full speed before feeding it into the
workpiece. Do not force the Saw Blade into the workpiece when cutting. Apply
moderate pressure, allowing the Saw Blade to cut without being forced. When
turning off the Saw, allow the Saw Blade to spin down and stop on its own. Do
not press against the Saw Blade to stop it.
Turn off the Saw and allow the Saw Blade to stop on its own if the Saw
Blade is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.

WARNINg! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California)
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks
and cement or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)

gROUNDINg
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in
electric shock.
WARNINg
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove
the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if
the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it
repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
1.
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to
a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
2.
3.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire
in the cord must be the only wire connected to
the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live”
terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the following illustration.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
Extension Cords
1.
2.
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can
use either a two or three wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
(See Table A.)
SKU 91995
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

3.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.
For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 1ꢀ gauge cord.
(See Table A.)
4.
5.
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make
sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
(See Table A.)
ꢀ.
ꢁ.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the
suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified
electrician before using it.
ꢂ.
Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet
areas.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND ClEANINg
1.
2.
WARNINg! Always make sure the Power Switch (98) is in its “OFF”
position, and unplug the Power Cord (102) from its 120 volt electrical outlet
before performing any inspection, adjustments, maintenance, or cleaning.
Make sure the power tool is cool to the touch before inspection, maintenance,
and cleaning begin. Always protect your hands by wearing work gloves.
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Miter Saw. Check for
loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts,
damaged electrical wiring, loose, cracked, or bent Saw Blade (5ꢀ), and any other
condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs,
have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment. Never work with a dull saw blade.

4.
Daily: With a soft brush, cloth, or vacuum, remove all dust and debris from
the Miter Saw. Then, use a premium quality, lightweight machine oil to lubricate
all moving parts except the Saw Blade (5ꢀ).
To replace the Motor Carbon Brushes: It may become necessary at some-
time to replace the two Carbon Brushes (ꢁ3) when the Motor performance de-
creases, or stops working completely. The Carbon Brushes are located on
each side of the Motor Housing (75). To do so, remove the two Brush Covers
(ꢁ2). Then, remove the two Carbon Brushes from the Brush Holders (ꢁ4).
If the Carbon Brushes are worn down more than 1/2, replace both Carbon
Brushes. If, however, the Carbon Brushes are just dirty they may be cleaned by
rubbing them with a pencil eraser. When installing the Carbon Brushes, make
sure the carbon portion of the Carbon Brushes contact the Motor Armature, and
that the springs face away from the Motor. Also, make sure the springs operate
freely. After cleaning or replacement, replace the Brush Holders.
NOTE: New Carbon Brushes tend to arc or spark when first used until they
wear and conform to the Motor’s Armature. (See Figure Q.)
5.
NOTE: With the exceptions of Steps #1, #2, #3, and #4 all other
maintenance and servicing should be performed only by a qualified service
technician.
