•Lower the blade into the zero clearance throat plate of the miter table. Check blade clearance and maximum cutting distance (distance from

fence where blade enters) to front of miter table slot.

•Readjust if necessary.

_k, WARNING: Do not start your compound miter saw without checking for interference between

the blade and the miter table support. Damage could result to the blade if it strikes the miter

table support during operation of the saw.

Tighten the hex nut with a 17 mm wrench or

adjustable wrench.

To prevent the depth stop adjustment screw from turning while tightening the hex nut, carefully hold

it with the hex key wrench while tightening the hex nut.

APPLICATIONS

(Use only for the purposes listed below)

•Cross cutting wood and plastic.

•Cross cutting miters, joints, etc. for picture frames, moldings, door casings, and fine joinery.

Note: The blade provided is fine for most wood cutting operations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use one of the accessory blades available from your nearest Sears store.

_h, WARNING: Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt your compound miter

saw to a workbench. Never operate your miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND MITER SAW

A 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 sedous personal injury.

CROSSCUTTING

See Figure 26.

A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A straight crosscut is made with the miter table set at the 0 °position. Miter crosscuts are made with the miter table set at some angle other than zero.

TO CROSSCUT WITH YOUR MITER SAW

•Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.

•Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.

•Press the miter lock plate down with your thumb and hold.

•Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the miter scale.

•Release the miter lock plate.

Note: You can quickly locate 0°,22-1/2 ° left or right, and 45° left or right by releasing the lock plate as you rotate the control arm. The lock plate will seat itself in one of the positive stop notches, located in the miter table frame.

•Tighten the miter lock handle securely.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter lock handle securely

before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the control arm or miter table while making a cut.
