WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient
to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recom-
mended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of at-
tachments or accessories not recommended can result in
serious personal injury.

APPLICATIONS

This product has been designed only for the purposes listed
below:
 Cross cutting wood, wood composition and plastic (do not
cut metals, ceramics, or masonry products.)
 Cross cutting miters, joints, etc. for picture frames mold-
ings, door casings, and fine joinery
 Bevel cutting and compound cutting of lumber and moldings.
NOTE: The blade provided is fine for most wood cutting op-
erations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use one of
the accessory blades available from the dealer.
WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the
compound miter saw to a workbench or an approved
workstand. Never operate the miter saw on the floor or in
a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always lock the miter lock
lever before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in
movement of the control arm or miter table while making
a cut.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands outside the
no hands zone, at least 3 in. from the blade. Never perform
any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece
against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if
it slips or twists.

OPERATION

CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND
MITER SAW
WARNING:
When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure your
workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of the blade
only. The workpiece must remain free on one side of the
blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The
workpiece binding the blade will cause motor stalling and
kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting
in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to any
cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is
rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade
causing serious personal injury.
TO CROSS CUT
See Figures 24 - 25.
A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table
set at the 0° position. Miter cross cuts are made with the
miter table set at some angle other than zero.
 Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
 Unlock the miter table.
 Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero
on the miter scale.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22-1/2°, 31.62°
and 45° left or right as you rotate the control arm. The
miter table will seat itself in one of the detent index points,
located in base.
 Lock the miter table.
 Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place
the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge
of a board is placed against the fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the
blade. See figure 31.
 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 29.
 Align cutting line on workpiece with edge of saw blade
or laser line.
 Grasp the workpiece firmly with one hand and secure
it against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a
C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
