FEATURES

Before using the miter saw, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. However, do not let familiarity with the tool make you careless.

WARNING:

Exercise caution when using the miter saw. Careless actions, for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious personal injury.

SWITCH

The miter saw has a conveniently located trigger switch.

TRIGGER LOCK

The trigger switch features a lockable latch that allows you to attach a padlock to prevent unauthorized use.

MOTOR

Your saw has a powerful 15 amp motor with sufficient power to handle tough cutting jobs. It is made with all ball bearings.

BLADE

A 12 in. (305 mm) saw blade is included with your compound miter saw. It will cut materials up to 7-7/8 in. (200 mm) wide, depending upon the thickness of the material and the settings at which the cut is being made. Refer to the table below for cutting capacity details.

CARRYING HANDLE

The saw includes a handle on top of the saw arm that allows you to easily transport the miter saw.

MITER LOCK HANDLE

The miter lock handle securely locks the saw at desired miter angles.

SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON

The spindle lock button allows you to lock the spindle, which keeps the blade in the saw from rotating.

POSITIVE STOPS

The saw contains positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22-1/2°, 30°, and 45° on both the left and right side of the miter table.

BEVEL LOCK KNOB

The bevel lock knob securely locks your compound miter saw at desired bevel angles. Positive stop adjustment screws are included on each side of the saw arm, which allow you to make fine adjustments at 0° and 45°.

ELECTRIC BRAKE

The electric brake allows you to quickly stop the blade rotation after you release the switch.

FENCE

The fence secures the workpiece when making cuts. The fence contains a built-in measuring scale to assist you in making crosscuts.

LOWER BLADE GUARD

The self-retracting lower blade guard is made of shock- resistant, clear plastic that provides protection from each side of the blade. It retracts over the upper blade guard as you lower the saw into the workpiece.

BLADE WRENCH STORAGE

The saw has a convenient blade wrench storage in the base.

MOUNTING HOLES

Four bolt holes are located in the saw base that allow you to permanently mount the saw to a firm supporting surface.

WARNING:

Always make sure the compound miter saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an approved work stand. Failure to do so could result in an accident resulting in possible serious personal injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your tool has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
