In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a  
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of  
electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having  
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The  
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly  
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the  
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
26. DON’TT-Reach around or behind saw blade.  
27. DON’T-Place hands closer than 6 inches from the saw blade.

Tools that have 3 wire cords requiring grounding must only be used with extension cords that have 3-  
prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles. Only round jacketed extension cords should be  
used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada). If  
the extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. The letters “WA” on the  
cord jacket indicate that it is suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor can also be used  
for indoor work.

Drive  
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to  
prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the  
capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one  
extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the mini-  
mum wire size. To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the following chart:  
2000 Watts out 13 Amp Motor  
Cut Helical Gears with Ball Bearings  
Carbide Blade, 4000 RPM  
Automatic Electric Brake  
Bench Mounting  
120 VOOLT TOOOLS: CHART FOR MINIMUM WIRE SIZE (AWG) OF EXTENSION CORDS  
Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. (Two different sized holes are provided  
to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use either hole, it is not necessary to use both.) Always  
mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a  
piece of 1/2” or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other  
job sites and reclamped.

NOTE:: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting screws  
don’t protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When  
clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the mounting screw  
holes are located. Clamping at any other point will surely interfere with the proper operation of the  
saw.  
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation, and  
defective fittings. Make any needed repairs or replace the cord if necessary. B&D has extension  
cords available that are U.L. (C.S.A. in Canada) listed for outdoor use.  
Unpacking Your Saw  
CAUTIOON: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped or other-  
wise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until  
the saw sits firmly on the mounting surface.  
Check the contents of your miter saw carton to make sure that you have received all parts. In addition  
to this instruction manual, the carton should contain: one 3680 miter saw, one carbide saw blade  
and one blade wrench in wrench pocket.  
Figure 2  
Figure 3  
Familiarization  
Your miter saw is fully assembled in the carton. Open the box and lift the saw out by the convenient  
carrying handle, as shown in Figure 1. Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a workbench or  
strong table. Examine Figures on inside front cover of this manual to become familiar with the saw  
and its various parts. The following section on adjust-  
LOCK DOWN  
PIN  
ments will refer to these terms and you must know what  
the parts are.  
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out  
the lock down pin, as shown in Figure 2. Gently release  
the downward pressure and allow the arm to rise to its  
full height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw  
from one place to another. Always use the carrying han-  
dle or the hand indentations to transport the saw.

Transporting the Saw  
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.  
In order to conveniently carry the miter saw from place to place, a carrying handle has been included  
on the top of the saw arm. To transport the saw, lower the arm and depress the lock down pin shown  
in Figure 2.  
DO NOT CUT FERROUS METAL (THAT WITH AN IRON OR STEEL CONTENT) OR MASONRY WITH  
THIS MITER SAW.  
1. With the saw arm in the upper position, raise the lower guard as far as possible.  
2. Loosen (but do not remove) the guard bracket screw, shown in Figure 3 until the guard bracket can  
be raised enough to permit access to the blade screw.  
NOTE: The saw arm cannot be fully lowered if the tool has a blade installed unless the kerf plate has  
been cut. If you wish to transport the saw before cutting the kerf plate, remove the saw blade.  
3. Hold the lower guard up and depress the spindle lock button with one hand and use the supplied  
blade wrench in the other hand to loosen (clockwise) the left hand threaded blade screw. NOTE: To  
use the spindle lock, depress the button as shown and rotate the spindle by hand until you feel the  
lock engage. Continue to hold the lock button in to keep the spindle from turning.  
4. Install the saw blade making sure that the teeth at the bottom edge of the blade are pointing toward  
the back of the saw (away from the operator).  
5. Replace the outer blade washer and tighten the blade screw (counterclockwise) while holding the  
lower guard up and the spindle lock engaged with your other hand.  
NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON WHILE THE BLADE IS ROTATING.  
Adjustments  
PERFOORM ALL AADJUSTTMMENTS WIITH THE MMITER SAAW UNPLLUGGED!  
NOTE: Your miter saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at the time of manufacture. If  
readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps below to  
adjust your saw. Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate. Take a little time now to fol-  
low these directions carefully to attain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.  
Miter Scale Adjustment  
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.  
1. Place a square against the saw’s fence and blade, as shown in Figure 6. (Do not touch the tips of  
the blade teeth with the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measurement.)  
2. Loosen the miter clamp knob (Figure 7) and swing the miter arm until the miter latch locks it at the  
0 miter position. Do not tighten the clamp knob.  
3. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the three screws that hold the  
miter scale to the base (Figure 7) and move the scale/miter arm assembly left or right until the  
blade is perpendicular to the fence, as measured with the square.  
AFTER INSTALLING THE SAW BLADE, REPOSITION GUARD BRACKET MAKING SURE IT IS FULLY  
SEATED ON GUARD SCREW. FIRMLY TIGHTEN SCREW. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE SERIOUS  
DAMAGE TO THE SAW.  
Rear Lower Guard Adjustment  
Check the rear lower guard to ensure that it is located such that the saw blade is in the center and  
equidistant from each side, as shown in Figures 4 & 5. Adjust as necessary by loosening the two  
screws and moving the guard. Firmly tighten both screws. Never remove this guard.  
4. Retighten the three screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the miter pointer at this time.  
Cutting the Kerf  
In order to adjust and use your miter saw, you must cut a slot through the kerf plate to allow for blade  
clearance. To cut the kerf plate:  
1. Set the saw at 0˚ miter.  
2. Place a piece of scrap wood on the kerf plate at least 1"x6"x12".  
3. Turn the saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed.  
4. Pull the saw arm down as far as it will go and CUT SLOWLY THROUGH THE SCRAP WOOD AND  
THE PLASTIC KERF PLATE.  
5. Turn the saw off and allow the blade to stop before raising the saw arm.  
6. Loosen and move the left side of the fence as far as it will go to the left.  
7. Now adjust the bevel angle to 45˚.  
8. Once again, turn on the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed.  
9. Pull the arm down and cut slowly through the wood and kerf plate again. (This procedure will  
widen the kerf plate cut so that the blade will pass through it at any angle from 0˚ to 45˚).  
Be sure to adjust the left side of the fence so that it’s as close to the saw blade as possible without  
interfering with arm up & down movement. Tighten the fence in position using both knobs. Don’t use  
without kerf plate or when kerf slot is wider than 3/8”.

Cutting with your saw  
NOTE: Although this saw will cut wood and many non-ferrous materials, we will limit our discussion  
Occasionally, under certain conditions, the brake will not function properly and won’t stop the saw in  
the 5 seconds discussed above. If this condition persists, turn the saw on and off four or five times. If  
the brake still does not stop the blade in about 5 seconds, the problem may be worn brushes. Replace  
the brushes as described on page 12 and try the saw again. If this condition occurs, have the tool ser-  
viced at a B&D authorized service center.  
to the cutting of wood only. The same guidelines apply to the other materials.  
DO NOT CUTT FERROUS  
(IRON ANDD STEEL) MMATERIALLS OR MASSOONRY WITHH THIS SAWW. Do not use any abrasive blades.  
Crosscuts  
A crosscut is made by cutting wood across the grain at any angle. A straight crosscut is made with the  
miter arm at the 0˚ position. Set the miter arm at 0, hold the wood on the table and firmly against the  
fence. Turn on the saw by squeezing the trigger switch shown in Figure 13.  
When the saw comes up to speed (about 1 second) lower the arm smoothly and slowly cut through  
the wood. Let the blade come to a full stop before raising arm.  
Miter crosscuts are made with the miter arm at some angle other than 0˚. This angle is often 45˚ for  
making corners, but can be set anywhere from 0˚ to 48˚ left or right. After selecting the desired miter  
angle, be sure to tighten the miter clamp knob. Make the cut as described above.  
Bevel Cuts  
A bevel cut is a crosscut made with the saw blade at a bevel to the wood. In order to set the bevel,  
loosen the bevel clamp knob and move the saw to the left as desired. (It is necessary to move the left  
side of the fence to allow clearance as you did under “Bevel Stop Adjustment”. Once the desired bevel  
angle has been set, tighten the bevel clamp knob firmly.  
Bevel angles can be set from 3˚ right to 45˚ left and can be cut with the miter arm set between 0˚ and  
45˚ right or left.  
Quality of Cut  
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables. Things like material being cut, blade type,  
blade sharpness and rate of cut all contribute to the quality of the cut.  
When smoothest cuts are desired for molding and other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth or greater  
carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting rate will produce the desired results.

Ensure that material does not creep while cutting, clamp it securely in place. Always let the blade  
come to a full stop before raising the arm. If small fibers of wood still split out at the rear of the work  
piece, stick a piece of masking tape on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and  
carefully remove tape when finished.  
When clamping small pieces requiring your hand to be dangerously close (within 6”) to the saw blade,  
a clamp MUUSSTT be used to prevent loss of control. The left fence may be adjusted to aid clamping.  
Support for Long Pieces  
For varied cutting applications, refer to the list of recommended accessories for your saw and select  
the blade that best fits your needs.  
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.  
For best results, use the 36800 Extension Work Support to extend the table width of your saw.  
Available from your dealer at extra cost. Support long work pieces using any convenient means such  
as sawhorses or similar devices to keep the ends from dropping.  
Body and Hand Position (See Figure 14)  
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw will make cutting easier,  
more accurate and safer. Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer than 6" from the  
blade. Hold the work piece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting. Keep hands in position until  
the trigger has been released and the blade has completely stopped.  
Cutting picture frames, shadow boxes, and other four sided  
projects  
To best understand how to make the items listed here, we suggest that you try a few simple projects  
using scrap wood until you develop a “FEEL” for your saw.  
ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT YOU CAN CHECK THE  
PATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS HANDS AS SHOWN BELOW.  
Your saw is the perfect tool for mitering corners like the one shown in Figure 15. Sketch A shows a  
joint made by using the bevel adjustment to bevel the edges of the two boards at 45˚ each to produce  
a 90˚ corner. For this joint the miter arm was locked in the 0 position and the bevel adjustment was  
locked at 45˚. The wood was positioned with the broad flat side against the table and the narrow edge  
against the fence. The cut could also be made by mitering right and left with the broad surface against  
the fence.  
Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As you move the miter arm left and  
right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw blade. Sight through the guard louvers when  
following a pencil line.  
Clamping the Work Piece  
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.  
Cutting Trim Molding and Other Frames  
ALWAYS CLAMP WOOD TO THE SAW IF POSSIBLE AND ALWAYS CLAMP IF SIZE OF WORK PIECE  
REQUIRES YOUR HAND TO BE WITHIN 6" OF BLADE. You can clamp to either side of the saw blade  
and remember to position your clamp against a solid, flat surface of the fence. For best results use the  
36802 clamp made for use with your saw. Available from your dealer at extra cost.  
Sketch B in Figure 15 shows a joint made by setting the miter arm at 45˚ to miter the 2 boards to form  
a 90˚ corner. To make this type of joint, set the bevel adjustment to 0 and the miter arm to 45˚. Once  
again, position the wood with the broad flat side on the table and the narrow edge against the fence.  
The 2 sketches in Figure 15 are for four side objects only. As the number of sides changes, so do the  
miter and bevel angles. The chart below gives the proper angles for a variety of shapes. (The chart  
assumes that all sides are of equal length.) For a shape that is not shown in the chart, use the follow-  
ing formula. 180˚ divided by the number of sides equals the miter or bevel angle.

Cutting Compound Miters  
A compound miter is a cut made using a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This is the  
type of cut used to make frames or boxes with slanting sides like the one shown in Figure 16.

The chart shown on page 10 will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and miter settings for com-  
mon compound miter cuts. To use the chart, select the desired angle “A” (Figure 17) of your project  
and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in the chart. From that point follow the chart straight down  
to find the correct bevel angle and straight across to find the correct miter angle.  
Vernier Scale  
Your saw is equipped with a vernier scale for added precision. The vernier scale allows you to accu-  
rately set miter angles to the nearest 1/4˚ (15 minutes). To use the vernier scale follow the steps listed  
below.  
Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trial cuts. Practice fitting the cut pieces together  
until you develop a feel for this procedure and feel comfortable with it.  
(As an example, let’s assume that the angle you want to miter is 24 1/4˚ right).  
1. Turn off miter saw.  
Example: To make a 4 sided box with 25° exterior angles (Angle A, Table 1), use the upper right arc.  
Find 25° on the arc scale. Follow the horizontal intersecting line to either side to get miter angle setting  
on saw (23°). Likewise, follow the vertical intersecting line to the top or bottom to get the bevel angle  
setting on the saw (40°). Always try cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood to verify settings on saw.  
2. Set the miter angle to the nearest whole degree desired by aligning the center mark in the vernier  
scale, shown in Figure V1, with the whole degree number etched in the miter scale. Examine Figure  
V1 closely; the setting shown is 24˚ right miter.  
Dual Range Miter Scale  
3. To set the additional 1/4˚, squeeze the miter arm lock and carefully move the arm to the RIGHT  
until the 1/4˚ vernier mark aligns with the CLOSEST degree mark on the miter scale. In our exam-  
ple, the closest degree mark on the miter scale happens to be 25˚. Figure V2 shows a setting of 24-  
1/4˚ right miter.  
The miter scale has two ranges of numbers for conve-  
nience, as shown in Figure 18. One scale indicates 0˚  
when the blade is square to the fence. At this position the  
other scale reads 90˚.  
For settings that require partial degrees (1/4˚, 1/2˚, 3/4˚) align the desired vernier mark with the CLOS-  
EST degree mark on the miter scale, as described below (The plastic vernier plate is inscribed with  
marks for 1/4˚, 1/2˚, 3/4˚ and 1˚. Only the 1/2˚ and the 1˚ are numerically labeled.)  
The 0˚ scale (larger numbers closer to the front edge) is  
used when calculating angles. To calculate the proper  
miter angle, divide 180˚ by the number of sides of the box  
or frame. Refer to the chart on page 7 for some exam-  
ples.  
MITER  
SCALE  
When Mitering to the Right  
To increase the miter angle when mitering to the right, move the arm to align the appropriate vernier  
mark with the closest mark on the miter scale to the right. To decrease the miter angle when mitering  
to the right, move the arm to align the appropriate vernier mark with the closest mark on the miter  
scale to the left.  
The 90˚ scale (smaller numbers behind the 0˚ scale) is  
used when a corner of your box or frame is measured  
with a protractor. For example: if you measure the cor-  
ner of an 8 sided box, the protractor will read 135˚. To  
determine the proper miter setting, divide the measured  
angle by two. The proper miter setting in this example is  
67-1/2˚. Set this angle on the 90˚ scale. This is most use-  
ful when a corner is at an odd angle.  
Figure 18  
When Mitering to the Left  
To increase the miter angle when mitering to the left, move the arm to align the appropriate vernier  
mark with the closest mark on the miter scale to the left. To decrease the miter angle when mitering to  
the left, move the arm to align the appropriate vernier mark with the closest mark on the miter scale to  
the right.

2. Save right side of cut  
Material up to 3.9" (3-7/8)" can be cut as described above. For wider boards [up to 5.5" (5-1/2")] sev-  
eral minor concessions must be made.  
When cutting a board between 3.9" (3-7/8") and 5.5" (5-1/2") in width the guard will hang up on the  
work piece. If this occurs, simply place your right thumb on the upper side of the guard and roll the  
guard up just enough to clear the work piece, as shown in Figure 23. Once you have cleared the work  
piece, you can release the guard and it will continue to open as the cut progresses.  
When mitering to the right side of a base molding wider than 3.9" (3-7/8") standing vertically against  
the fence as in Figure 20, the saw can only cut through the board up to 1 inch from the end of the  
board. Trying to cut more than an inch will cause the saw’s gear case to interfere with the work piece.  
If you want to cut base molding between 3-7/8" and 5-1/2" wide vertically see the following the direc-  
tions.  
Right side: 1. Position molding with bottom of the molding  
against the table of the saw

Your miter saw is better suited to the task of cutting crown molding than any tool made. In order to fit  
properly, crown molding must be mitered with extreme accuracy. The two flat surfaces on a given  
piece of crown molding are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly 90˚. Most, but not all,  
crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that fits flat against the ceiling) of 52˚ and a bottom  
rear angle (the part that fits flat against the wall) of 38˚.

The chart on the next page gives the proper settings for cutting crown molding. (The numbers for the  
miter and bevel settings are very precise and are not easy to accurately set on your saw.) Since most  
rooms do not have angles of precisely 90˚, you will have to fine tune your settings anyway.

1. Molding laying with broad back surface down flat on saw table (See Figure 24).  
2. The settings below are for all standard U.S. crown molding with 52˚ and 38˚ angles.  
The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method is that no bevel cut is required. Minute  
changes in the miter angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. This way, when corners  
other than 90˚ are encountered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for them.  
When setting bevel and  
miter angles for all com-  
pound miters, remember  
that the angles presented  
for crown moldings are  
very precise and difficult to  
set exactly. Since they can  
easily shift slightly and very  
few rooms have exactly  
square corners, all settings  
should be tested on scrap  
molding.

SPECIAAL CUTS  
Cuttiing Larrge Matterial  
NEVER MAKE ANY CUT WITHOUT FIRMLY CLAMPING THE MATERIAL.  
Aluminumm Cuttting:  
Aluminum extrusions such as those used when making aluminum screens and storm windows can  
easily be cut with your saw. Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section,  
as shown in Figure 26. Figure 27 illustrates the wrong way to cut these extrusions.  
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the blade guard. A little  
extra height can be gained by rolling the guard up out of the way, as shown in Figure 23. Avoid doing  
this as much as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut.  
NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.  
Troubleshooting Tips  
If your saw makes unsatifactory cuts:  
Use a wax lubricant when cutting aluminum such as Johnson’s Stick Wax No. 140. Apply the stick  
wax directly to the saw blade before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade.  
The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial mill supply houses, provides proper lubri-  
cation and keeps chips from adhering to the blade.  
Replace dull blades  
Check to see if blade is mounted backwards.  
Remove blade and clean with turpentine and coarse steel wool or household oven cleaner.  
Check to make sure the blade you are using is appropriate for work being done.  
Bowed Maaterial:  
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure 28 and never like that shown in  
Figure 29. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near the completion of  
the cut.  
If blade does not come up to speed:  
Extension cord may be too light or too long.  
You may have low house current.  
Cutting Pllastiicc Pipe  
If your machine vibrates excessively:  
Saw may not be mounted securely to stand on work bench.  
Stand may be on uneven floor.  
CLAMPEDD OR HELD  
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and

Brushes  
Extensiion, Worrkk Supportt: 36800  
Inspect carbon brushes regularly:  
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.  
2. Remove the brush inspection cap.  
3. Withdraw the brush assembly.  
Used to support long overhanging work pieces, the work support is user assembled and stores con-  
veniently under the saw table. Your saw table is designed to accept two work supports; one on each  
side.  
Adjusttable Lenngth Stoopp: 36801  
Requires the use of one work support (see Figure). It is used to make repetitive cuts of the same  
length from 0 to 42".  
4. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Always replace a used brush in the same ori-  
entation in the holder as it was prior to its removal. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped  
into their sides, and if the brush is worn down to the line closest to the spring, they must be  
replaced. (If either brush is worn out, replace both.) Use only identical B&D brushes. Use of the  
correct grade of brush is essential for proper operation of electric brake. New brush assemblies are  
available at B&D service centers.  
Clamp:: 36802
