Unplug the saw from the outlet. Cutting head is up. Rotate the lower blade guard (2) by hand. Loosen, but do not remove, the cover plate screw (4) using the Phillips end of combination wrench. Lift the lower guard up and tilt the lower guard assembly back so the arbor screw (27) is exposed. Fit 6.35 mm hex end of combination tool in arbor screw or use 12.7 mm box end wrench. Note: The arbor screw (27) has a left hand thread. This helps prevent unwanted loosening of the arbor screw during normal operation.

Remove the arbor screw, arbor washer (31), outer blade flange (30), and the blade. Note: Pay attention to pieces removed, noting their position and direction they face (see illustration). Wipe the blade collars clean of any sawdust before installing the new blades. CAUTION To reduce the risk of cuts from extremely sharp teeth: Wear gloves when installing or removing sawblade.

After installing a new blade, make sure the blade clears the table slot at the 0° and 45° bevel positions. Lower the blade into the table slot and check for any contact with the base or turn table structure. If blade contacts table, seek authorized service.

INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE BLADE

Install the new 305 mm blade. Make sure the rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard. The blade teeth should always point downward at the front of the saw. Install the outer blade flange, arbor washer and arbor screw. Press the arbor lock and turn the combination wrench or the 12.7 mm wrench counter clockwise to secure the blade. Tighten arbor screw using moderate force, but do not overtighten. Lower the lower blade guard until the slot in cover plate rests all the way down on the cover plate stop screw. Tighten the screw with the Phillips end of the combination wrench. DANGER Never use saw without guard cover plate securely in place. It keeps the arbor screw from falling out if it accidentally loosens, and prevents the spinning blade from coming off the machine.

Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns freely. Note: The arbor lock can be damaged by improper use. If the arbor lock will not hold, lower the blade down on to a scrap piece of wood positioned against the fence. This will serve as an alternate lock-ing means. If blade contacts insert, refer to “Alignment“ section for adjustment. WORKPIECE CLAMP INSTALLATION (FIG. 3) The workpiece clamp (23) is used to help hold the workpiece in the correct cutting position. It may be used on either the left side of the miter saw or the right side. Before turning the saw on make sure the workpiece clamp does not interfere with the cutting action of the saw.

Align clamp shaft (32) with hole in base. Insert clamp shaft.

FOUR BASIC SAW CONTROLS

In order to properly adjust and align the Sliding Compound Miter Saw there are four basic controls that must be understood.

Miter lock lever and miter index wheel (Fig.4) to change the miter setting of the blade: - Raise the miter lock lever (15). - Rotate the miter index wheel (34) partially downward to disengage the current index and engage the next index. - Rotate the miter index wheel completely downward to bypass all miter indexes. - Turn the table (6) to the desired miter setting and lock the miter lock lever. Bevel lock lever/index pin to change the bevel setting of the blade (Fig. 6): - Pull the bevel lock lever forward. Then rotate the bevel index pin downward. This will allow the blade to be tilted and at the same time “by-pass” the preset bevel indexes. - To engage the preset bevel indexes, rotate the bevel lock index pin up. - Engage bevel lock lever before cutting. ENGLISH

Depth adjustment cam and head hold down (Fig. 7 & 8) to release the blade: - While applying light downward pressure on the handle, pull the depth adjustment cam (17) to the right, raise the blade. Note: It is not necessary to loosen depth adjustment knob (35). - Rotate the depth adjustment cam so the flat on the cam is facing upward. Note: Head Hold Down is for transport and storage purposes only. No cutting operations should take place while hold down is engaged. - To lock the blade in the lower position. - Pull the depth adjustment cam to the right and lower the blade into the table. - Rotate the depth adjustment cam until slot engages pin on upper guard. Slide lock knob: - Turn the slide lock knob counterclock-wise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. Loosening the knob will allow the powerhead to slide back and forth. Tightening the knob will lock the powerhead in place.

STEP TWO: SLIDE TUBE ADJUSTMENT

ALIGNMENT WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, do not plug the saw in. The power cord must remain unplugged whenever you are working on the saw.

BLADE INSERT (FIG. 9) The zero clearance blade insert needs to be repositioned so it is temporarily out of the way when aligning the blade. It may be replaced after the blade is aligned.

Loosen the three screws that secure the zero clearance blade insert on one side of the blade. Slide the zero clearance insert away from the blade as far as possible. Retighten the three screws. Repeat steps 1-3 for the opposite side of the blade. Place the blade in the 0° miter index and lock the miter lock. To check blade squareness to fence, lock powerhead in lower position. Use a combination square. Place the square against the fence and next to the blade as illustrated. Locate the square properly so it does not contact the set in the teeth of sawblade, giving an inaccurate reading. The sawblade body should contact the full length of the square. If blade contacts full length of square, no alignment is necessary, skip step below. If blade is not square to the fence, follow the alignment procedure. - Remove sliding fences by loosening fence lock knobs approximately two turns. Slide fences toward blade and lift up to remove. - Loosen the fence lock bolts. - Place a combination square against the sawblade and adjust the fence until it is 90° to the blade. - Tighten the fence lock bolts. - Replace sliding fences and tighten fence lock knobs. ADJUST MITER SCALE INDICATOR (FIG. 14)

10 ENGLISH Place the powerhead in the 0° miter/0° bevel index and lock head in lower position. Check to see that the blade is approximately centered between the two zero clearance blade inserts. Also check for play between the right slide rail (36) and the pivot assembly (37). If adjustment is required loosen the jam nuts on all four grub screws (38) as shown. Loosen the top two grub screws. Tighten or loosen the lower two grub screws as required to center the blade between the zero clearance inserts. Tighten the lower two jam nuts. To minimize play in the slide tubes (11) gradually tighten the top two grub screws while at the same time sliding the powerhead back and forth. Tighten the top jam nuts. Loosen the Phillips screw that holds the indicator (8) in place. Reposition the indicator to align it with 0° mark, and retighten screw. ALIGNMENT

STEP FOUR: BLADE SQUARE TO TABLE

(BEVEL ADJUSTMENT) (FIG. 15)

Place the saw in the 0° bevel index position and make sure bevel lock is disengaged. Lower the blade and engage the head hold down. Use a combination square to check that the blade is 90° to the table. If the blade does not contact the full length of the square: a. Lift the bevel lock lever. b. Loosen the two socket head screws that secure the bevel scale. c. Grasp the upper metal guard and move the powerhead left or right until the blade makes full contact with the length of the square. d. Securely tighten two socket head screws. ADJUST BEVEL SCALE INDICATOR (FIG. 16)

Loosen the Phillips screw that holes the indicator in place. Reposition the indicator to align it with 0° mark and retighten screw. To check, follow these steps:

With the blade set at an “unindexed” bevel position (other than 0°, 22.5°, 33-7/8°, 45°) and the bevel lock lever set in the “locked” position the locking action should feel tight and secure.Considerable effort should be required to move the blade. While it is always possible to force the blade to move, it should resist moving when a reasonable amount of force is applied. If the bevel moves easily:

Loosen the three screws that secure the zero clearance blade insert on one side of the blade. Slide the zero clearance blade insert in towards the blade until it is as close to the blade as possible without actually touching the blade. Retighten the three screws. Repeat steps 1-3 for the opposite side of the blade.

MITER LOCK LEVER ADJUSTMENT

With the blade set at an “unindexed” miter position (other than 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° and 60°) and the miter lock lever set in the “locked” position the locking action should feet tight and secure.Considerable effort should be required to move the table (blade). While it is always possible to force the table to move, it should resist moving when a reasonable amount of force is applied. Release miter lock lever and position blade at an “unindexed” position. Lock the miter lock lever. Try and rotate the table. If the table easily moves: - Release the miter lock lever. Locate the set screw underneath the miter lock lever. - Use a 4mm hex wrench to adjust the set screw. - Lock the miter lock lever and try moving the table. Readjust if necessary.

Release the bevel lock lever. Locate the two 12 mm locking jam nuts (41) behind the bevel lock lever. Loosen the top locking jam nut. To tighten the bevel lock lever mechanism turn the bottom jam nut clockwise.To loosen the lock lever mechanism turn the bottom jam nut counterclockwise. Lock the bevel lock lever and try moving the blade. Readjust if necessary. Note: When unlocked the bevel mechanism should freely pivot. A grating sound indicates the bevel mechanism needs to be loosened slightly.

BEVEL PIVOT MOVEMENT/ADJUSTMENT

(FIG. 5) Check that the miter saw bevels easily by unlocking the bevel lock lever and tilting the blade. Note: At least one thread of the pivot bolt should stick out past the hex lock nut (42). If the movement is tight or there is looseness in the pivot, do the following adjustment procedure:

Unlock the bevel lock lever. Turn the hex lock nut with 19 mm socket. Recheck the bevel movement and readjust if necessary. ENGLISH

MOUNTING THE MITER SAW (FIG. 18) WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected saw movement, read and follow the instructions below.

Before moving the saw, unplug electric cord. Lock the miter and bevel knobs and lock the power head in the lower position. To reduce the risk of back injury, hold the tool close to your body when lifting. Bend your knees so you can lift with your legs, not your back. Lift by using the handhold areas at each side of the bottom of the base, by the carrying han-dle, or the handles on the front of base. Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or the trigger grip of the plastic handle. Carrying the tool by the power cord could cause damage to the insulation or the wire connections resulting in electric shock or fire. Place the saw so other people cannot stand behind it. Thrown debris could injure people in its path. Place the saw on a firm, level surface where there is plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece. Support the saw so the table is level and the saw does not rock. Bolt or clamp the saw to its support. Place the saw in the desired location either on a work bench or other recom-mended leg set. The base of the saw has eight holes to mount the miter saw. Four smaller holes for screws are labeled A. Four holes for bolts are labeled B. If the saw is to be used in one location, permanently fasten it to the work bench or leg set. NOTE: When mounted on a large flat sur-face, the miter saw table is 114.3 mm high.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BASIC SAW

OPERATIONS BEFORE EACH USE INSPECT YOUR SAW. DISCONNECT THE MITER SAW. To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug the saw, before changing the setup, changing the blade or adjusting anything. Compare the direction of rotation arrow on the guard to the direction arrow on the blade. The blade teeth should always point downward at the front of the saw. Check the blade screw and coverplate screw for security.

Mount as specified in portable applica-tions. Check for workpiece clearances to left and right of saw. 12 ENGLISH

PORTABLE APPLICATIONS To mount the saw to a 19 mm piece of ply-wood, use 4, 6,35 mm (1/4") bolt holes or the 4 screw holes. The mounting board can then be clamped down to prevent it from tipping. Plywood mount also helps protect saw from damage during the rough handling associated with portable mitor saw usage.

Proper alignment of moving parts, Damaged electric cords, Binding of moving parts, Broken parts, Stable mounting Function of arm return spring and lower guard: Push the arm all the way down, then let it rise up until it stops by itself. Check the lower guard to see if it closed fully. If it did not, follow the instructions in the “Troubleshooting” section. Smooth, solid movement of sliding assembly. Other conditions that may affect the way the miter saw works. If any part of this miter saw if missing, bent, or broken in any way, or any electrical parts don’t work, turn the saw off and unplug it. Replace damaged, missing, Keep Guards In Place, in working order, and in proper adjustment. Maintain Tools With Care. Keep the miter saw clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating. DON’T put lubricants on the blade while it’s spinning. Remove Adjusting Keys And Wrenches from tool before turning it on.

Use Only Recommended Accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons. Choose the right 305 mm diameter blade for the saw and material you plan to cut. Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and properly aligned. With the saw unplugged, push the power head all the way down. Hand spin the blade and check for clearance. Tilt the power-head to 45 degree bevel and repeat the check. If the blade hits anything, make the adjustments shown in the Maintaining “Alignment (Adjustments)” section. Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean. Make sure the collars' recessed sides are facing the blade. Using 6.35 mm hex end of combination wrench (supplied), make sure the left hand thread arbor screw is firmly tightened counterclockwise. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and there is no excessive play in any parts. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery. To reduce the risk of burns or other fire damage, never use the miter saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

Plan your work to avoid thrown pieces caused when the workpiece binds on the blade and is torn from your hands. Plan how you will make the cut. Always:

Make sure the blade is not spinning. Raise the blade. Slide the saw out above the front edge of the workpiece before starting saw, and Push the lower guard safety lock knob (19) to release the lower guard, than push the sawblade down on top of the wood and back toward the rear of the saw to make the cut. DANGER NEVER pull the saw toward you during a cut. The blade can suddenly climb up on top of the workpiece and force itself toward you.

Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to finish.

BASIC SAW OPERATIONS

Know your miter saw. Read and understand the owner ’s manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.To reduce the risk of injury from accidental contact with moving parts, don’t do layout, assembly, or setup work on the miter saw while any parts are moving. Reduce the Risk of Accidental Starting, make sure switch is “OFF” before plugging miter saw into a power outlet. Plan your work. Use The Right Tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed to do. Use a different tool for any workpiece that can’t be held in a solidly braced, fixed position. There are two types of cuts that can be made with the slide compound miter saw; CAUTION Because of the sliding action of this saw, this machine is not designed for cutting metals. Use this miter saw to cut only wood, and wood like products. Other materials may shatter, bind on the blade, start fires or create other dangers. WARNING For your convenient use and safety, your saw has a blade brake. The brake is not a safety device. Never rely on it to replace proper use of the guard on your saw. If the blade does not stop within 6 seconds, unplug the saw and follow the instructions in the Trouble Shooting section for fixing the brake before using saw again.

Inspect Your Workpiece. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.

Slide Cutting: - The slide lock knob is left loose, the cutting head is pulled towards the operator, the sawblade is lowered into the workpiece and then pushed to the rear of the saw to complete the cut. - Used for cutting wide pieces. Chop Cutting (Fig. 21): - The slide lock knob is tightened and the saw handle is o pushed down to cut through the workpiece. - This type of cut is used mainly for narrow pieces. ENGLISH

DANGER Never lower the saw completely in front of the work-piece and then cut only on the forward push. The upward moving rear portion of the blade could twist the workpiece from your grasp. Workpieces up to 342.9 mm wide and 88.9 mm thick can be cut following the directions below:

Put wood against fence and secure with clamp as appropriate. Loosen the slide lock knob. Grasp the saw handle and pull the carriage until the arbor (center of saw-blade) is over the front edge of the workpiece. Switch on the saw and allow to come to full speed. Push the saw handle all the way down and cut through the leading edge of the workpiece. Gently push the saw handle towards the fence completing the cut. Push power head to full rear position after each cut. Turn motor off and allow blade to come to a complete stop before moving hands. CHOP CUTTING (FIG. 20)

Slide the cutting head to the rear as far as it will go. Lock slide lock knob. Position workpiece on table and against fence and secure with clamp as appropriate. Turn on saw and lower blade into work-piece. After cut is complete turn off saw, allow blade to stop rotating before allowing cutting head to rise up.

Never place hands near cutting area. Place hand at least 100 mm from path of blade. Hold workpiece firmly to the fence to prevent movement toward the blade. When holding the workpiece to the left side of the blade, always use your left hand. Use your right hand to hold the workpiece to the right side of the blade. Before making a cut, make a “dry run” with the power off so you can see the path of the blade. Keep hands in position until trigger has been released and the blade has completely stopped. 14 ENGLISH WARNING Do not try to cut short pieces, you cannot properly support the workpiece and keep your hold down hand the required distance from the blade.

BASIC SAW OPERATIONS

WORKPIECE CLAMP USAGE (FIG. 24) WARNING Avoid thrown workpieces. Avoid binding the work against the blade. MITER CUT (FIG. 21) When a miter cut is required, move the saw to the desired angle. Move with the handle to the miter angle to make the cut. There are settings on the miter scale for angles (degrees) and crown molding. Note: Remember to unlock the miter lock lever before changing the miter angle. BEVEL CUT (FIG. 22)

When a bevel cut is required tilt the blade to desired bevel angle. Stand to the left side of the handle to make the cut.

When beveling the blade to the left or back fence may have to be repositioned. Loosen the fence locking knob and slide the fence to the left or right as needed. Adjust the fence as close to the guard as possible to provide maximum support for the workpiece. Securely tighten knob and make a dry run with the saw off to check for clearance between the fence and guard. On certain extreme compound cuts it may be necessary to remove a sliding fence to avoid interference. After completing bevel cut(s) remember to replace and/or slide the fence back.

VERNIER BEVEL SCALE OPERATION

The Vernier bevel scale can quickly and accurately help the user to adjust the saw to any 1/2° increment as illustrated (Fig. 16).

COMPOUND CUT When a compound cut is required, select the desired bevel and miter positions. CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. 23) Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it is not bowed. If it is bowed the workpiece must be positioned and cut as illustrated. Do not position workpiece incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece without the support of the fence. This will cause pinching of the workpiece on the blade. The workpiece could suddenly jump or move and your hand could hit the blade.

Always hold or clamp your work down to the saw. Do not hold or clamp the workpiece on both sides of the blade. The blade can throw a cut off piece if you confine the workpiece on both sides of the blade. Read and follow the instructions in the remainder of your saw’s owners manual. This accessory was designed to make your miter saw operations more convenient. Read and understand these instructions completely before use. Always perform dry runs. Make sure the saw is unplugged. Completely set up your saw. Pull the blade and power head through the full range of motion to check for interference. The clamp can be used in a left or right configuration. Make sure that your blade, saw guard or motor does not interfere with the clamp. Correct any interference before use. Always tighten the clamp so that the workpiece is secured between the clamp and fence, support or base. No visible gap should be present between saw and wood. The clamp can be used only in a vertical position. Place material to be cut on table of miter saw. Secure workpiece to the fence and table by turning knob to tighten clamp. Do not overtighten the clamp. It should just lightly hold the wood against the fence and table. Perform a dry run with the saw unplugged. After you believe that the saw is completely set up, pull the power head down as if you were making an actual cut. Check for interferences and for potentially dangerous situations. Adjust the set up so that a safe operation can be completed. Complete the cut as instructed in the remainder of you miter saw owners manual. IMPORTANT To help perform the safest and most precise miter saw cut, make the cut and then release the power switch. Hold the power head down and keep your hands in place until the blade stops rotating. Then raise the power head and remove workpiece from work table. MAINTENANCE DANGER Never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning. WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, unplug the power cord before working on the saw. WARNING For your safety, this saw is double insulated. Toavoid electrical shock, fire or injury, use only parts identical to those identified in the parts list.Reassemble exactly as original assembly to avoid electric shock.

Do not use the saw without the lower 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 damaged guard has been replaced. Develop a regular check to make sure the lower guard is working properly. Clean the lower guard of any dust or build up with a damp cloth. CAUTION Do not use solvents on the guard. They could make the plastic "cloudy" and brittle. WARNING When cleaning lower guard unplug the saw from the outlet to avoid unexpected startup. Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the work table and base. This could cause difficulty in the movement of the work table when setting up a miter cut. Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust. WARNING If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to keep debris from blowing into eyes. LUBRICATION (FIG. 25) BALL BEARINGS All the motor bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit, therefore, no further lubrication is required. ENGLISH

MAINTENANCE Infrequent Lubrication as Required
