WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protect-
ing insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be
grounded.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
WARNING:
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the
tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electrical shock.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
**Ampere rating (on tool faceplate)
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replace-
ment parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This 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.
**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If dam-
aged replace immediately. Never use tool with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.

in serious personal injury.
If any parts are damaged or missing, please call
1-866-539-1710 for assistance.
MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 8.
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm
supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes
have been provided in the saw base for this purpose. Each
of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using
3/8 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not
ncluded). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommo-
date the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness
of the workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely.
WARNING:
If any parts are missing, do not operate this tool
until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so
could result in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in
figure 8. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to
make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any
tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench
to the floor before operating.
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create acces-
sories not recommended for use with this tool. Any
such alteration or modification is misuse and could
result in a hazardous condition leading to possible
serious personal injury.

WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly
may interfere with the operation of the blade guard
assembly. Always make sure there is no interfer-
ence with the blade guard prior to beginning any
cutting operation to reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
Fig. 12
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the fence. It also prevents the workpiece from
creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful when
cutting compound miters.
Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the
workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead
of the work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making
the cut.
To install the work clamp:
Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the
saw table base.

The laser guide will generate a red colored line on the work
surface when the blade is spinning. The red laser line will
appear as a broken line on the workpiece when the blade
assembly is in the uppermost position and the motor switch
is activated. This broken line will let you see your mark
and your laser guide line at the same time, and will assist
you in lining up your mark for more accurate cutting of the
workpiece.

Align the laser line and your mark with the blade at the
uppermost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do not
move the workpiece until after you have finished cutting.
As the blade assembly is lowered toward the workpiece, the
broken line will become solid.

CUTTING A SLOT IN THE ZERO CLEARANCE
THROAT PLATE
BROKEN
RED LINE
In order to use your compound miter saw, you must cut
a slot through the zero clearance throat plate to allow for
blade clearance. To cut the slot, set your saw at 0° miter,
turn saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed, then
carefully make a straight cut as far as it will go through the
throat plate. Turn your saw off and allow the blade to come
to a complete stop before raising the saw arm.
Fig. 16

Next, adjust the bevel angle to 45°, turn your saw on and al-
low the blade to reach full speed, then carefully make another
cut through the zero clearance throat plate. The slot in the
throat plate will then be wide enough to allow the blade to
pass through it at any angle from 0° to 45°.
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of your compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions. Never operate your saw without all guards securely

OPERATION
WARNING:
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt
your 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.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands
outside the no hands zone; at least 3 in. from blade.
Never perform any cutting operation freehand (with-
out holding workpiece against the fence). The blade
could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this tool.
The use of attachments or accessories not recom-
mended can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not start your compound miter saw without
checking for interference between the blade and
the miter fence. Damage could result to the blade

blade.
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 pos-
sible serious personal injury.
Grasp the stock 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.
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the switch lock
with thumb then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several
seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
WARNING:
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait
until the electric brake stops blade from turning before
removing the workpiece from the miter table.
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.

COMPOUND
MITER CUT
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait
until the electric brake stops blade from turning before
removing the workpiece from miter table.
TO COMPOUND MITER CUT
A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle and
a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used to
make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping
sides, and for certain roof framing cuts.
To make this type of cut the control arm on the miter table
must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must
be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always
be taken when making compound miter setups due to the
interaction of the two angle settings.
Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interdependent
with one another. Each time you adjust the miter setting you
change the effect of the bevel setting. Also, each time you
adjust the bevel setting you change the effect of the miter
setting.
WORK CLAMP

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 could collapse on the blade at the end of the
cut, jamming the blade. See Figures 34 - 35.
Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have been
obtained, always make a test cut in scrap material before
making a finish cut in good material.
Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
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 32.

OPERATION
When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel angle
should be set at 33.85°. The miter angle should be set at 31.6°
either right or left, depending on the desired cut for the ap-
plication. See the chart below for correct angle settings and
correct positioning of crown molding on miter table.
CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
Your compound miter saw does an excellent job of cutting
crown molding. In general, compound miter saws do a better
job of cutting crown molding than any other tool made.
In order to fit properly, crown molding must be compound
mitered with extreme accuracy.
The settings in the chart below can be used for cutting All
Standard (U.S.) crown molding with 52° and 38° angles. The
crown molding is placed flat on the miter table using the
compound features of your miter saw.
The two contact surfaces on a piece of crown molding that
fit flat against the ceiling and the wall of a room are at angles
that, when added together, equal exactly 90°. Most crown
molding has a top rear angle (the section that fits flat against
the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle (the section that
fits flat against the wall) of 38°.

1. Bottom edge of molding against fence
Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very
precise and difficult to set. Since it is very easy for these
angles to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap
molding. Also most walls do not have angles of exactly 90°,
therefore, you will need to fine tune your settings.

A crown molding support jig will need to be made when
cutting crown molding with no required bevel setting. The
support jig holds the crown molding in place during the
cutting operation. When using this method, the saw can be
quickly adjusted for corners that are not 90° square.

Place a piece of crown molding firmly against the miter
table and the wood. Mark the height of the molding with
a pencil.
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
See Figures 34 - 35.
Remove the screws and the wood from the miter fence
When cutting warped material, always make sure it is posi-
tioned on the miter table with the convex side against the
fence as shown in figure 34.
then cut the wood to this width.
Using small nails and glue, attach a piece of wood
(1/2 in. thick x 1-1/2 in. wide x 23-1/2 or 28 in. long) to
the top of the wood.
If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown
in figure 35, it will pinch the blade near the completion of
the cut.
NOTE: Keep nails away from the area around the blade
cutting path.
Securely reattach the support jig to the miter fence.
Make a full 45° left miter cut and a 45° right miter cut
through the completed support jig.
USING A CROWN MOLDING SUPPORT JIG
Place the crown molding upside down on the miter table
with the bottom of the molding against the wood fence.
Use the chart below to select the proper miter angle.
Loosen the miter lock handle and position the miter table
to the desired setting. Securely tighten the miter lock
handle.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the molding.
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.
Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning
before removing the workpiece from the miter table.

spring.
EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the saw could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power.
To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheat-
ing, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the
current the tool will draw.
Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush assembly is
spring loaded and will pop out when you remove brush
cap.
A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for
an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. When working
outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor
use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
Remove brush assembly.
Check for wear. Replace both brushes when either has
less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining. Do not re-
place one side without replacing the other.
WARNING:
Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure
curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that
brush moves freely in brush tube.
Keep extension cords away from the cutting area
and position the cord so that it will not get caught
on lumber, tools, etc., during cutting operation.
Failure to heed this warning may result in serious
personal injury.
Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and
replace.
Tighten brush cap securely. Do not overtighten.
CAUTION:
Check extension cords before each use. If dam-
aged, replace immediately. Never use tool with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.
