To prevent serious injury from accidental operation: Unplug power cord from power source before making any adjustments to this tool. Work Piece and Work Area Set Up Designate a work area that is clean 1. and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent injury and distraction. Route the power cord along a safe 2. route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working. Use a saw table, saw stand or other 3. means to support the work piece. The Miter Saw must be mounted in such a way that the surface is level to the ground, and supports used must provide a surface on the same level as the saw table. If the work surface and any work materials supports are not level, and on the same level, unwanted bevel angles will appear in the cuts resulting in poor joinery. Work pieces may be secured to 4. the saw table using the Hold Down Clamp or other clamping devices (not included). Securing the work piece will provide safety by preventing kick back and by removing the need to hold work pieces near the blade by hand. Clamping the work piece will also improve cutting accuracy by preventing the work piece from moving during the cutting operation. When using this saw, work pieces 5. are often quite long. Allow room on both left and right of saw for extended work pieces. General Operating Instructions When the Handle is lowered, the 1. Blade Guard raises automatically. When the Handle is raised the Blade Guard returns to its safety position. Keep hands clear of the Blade when the Handle is lowered. Never interfere with the proper movement of the Blade Guard. There are locking mechanisms for the 2. miter angle and the Slides. Unlock the Table to set the miter angle, then re-lock it before making the WARNING cut. Unlock the Slide using the Slide Lock Wing Screw before making a cut if the work material is too wide to “chop”. To rotate the Table, press down the 3. Miter Thumb Lever, rotate the Table to the desired angle, then release the Miter Lock Lever. Notches are machined into the Base of the tool which will lock the Table into several often used miter angles. These angles are 0. (centered), 15., 22.5., 30. and 45. both left and right cut. On wider pieces, you will have to 4. slide the blade while making the cut. To unlock the Slide, loosen the Slide Lock Wing Screw at the back of the saw. To make a bevel cut, release the 5. Bevel Lock Lever, rotate the blade assembly to the desired bevel angle, then lock the blade assembly in place using the Bevel Lock Lever. Making bevel cuts is discussed in more detail later in this manual. This saw is provided with a Kerf 6. Board. The Kerf Board helps to prevent tear-out on the bottom side of the work material. The Kerf Board is factory adjusted prior to shipment of this tool so the blade does not contact the Kerf Board during normal operation, including bevel cuts. Adjustment of the Kerf Board and techniques to prevent tear-out are discussed later in this booklet. Before starting work, check the 7. accuracy of the Guide Fence, miter angle and bevel angle. Instructions for checking and adjusting these angles are discussed later in this booklet. It is very important that the work 8. material be properly supported before making a cut. The material must be level on the Table. The material must be supported on both ends. Using the Work Piece Extension Supports is discussed in the next section. Using the Work Piece Extension Supports The Work Piece Extension Supports 1. are inserted into each side of the Table, and locked in place using the Wing Screws. When properly installed, the upper 2. face of the Work Piece Extension Supports are level with the Table, and provide a wider support surface for the work piece. Always support the work piece to be 3. level with the table, and so that after the cut is made the cut off pieces will not fall. You may need to use saw horses or other supports (not included) to support the work piece. If the work piece is not level, you will 4. make an unintentional bevel cut in the material. If the work piece is not supported, it will bind the blade and may cause the material to kick back, potentially causing injury. Adjusting the Miter Angle A miter cut is one that is at an angle 1. across the horizontal surface of the material. You will commonly make 45. miter cuts to join two pieces in a right angle corner. A 30. cut is often used for a scarf joint or to make a chamfered end. To make a miter cut, loosen the Miter 2. Lock Knob by turning it approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Press down the Thumb Lever to unlock the Table. While holding the Thumb Lever down, move the Table to the desired angle. The Miter Angle Indicator will indicate the selected angle. The table will lock into place at often used miter angles, including 22.5., 30., 45., and 90. on both left and right si...
