NOTE: Make sure the blade does not touch either the kerf slot or the bottom of the kerf while it is being lowered toward the base. 6. While holding the cutting head down, turn the 45° depth stop screw clockwise until it lifts the blade 1/8". 7. Raise the cutting head and tighten the lock nut while holding the depth stop screw with the 5 mm hex key. Fig. 15 ADJUSTING SLIDER FRICTION KNOB The slider friction knob has two functions. The first function is to prevent the cutting head from sliding in and out during transportation of the tool. The second function is to offer minor resistance when the cutting head is being moved in and out during the cutting process. Setting the 45° depth stop 1. Set the bevel angle at 45°. 2. 4. 1. 18 To lock the slider, turn the slider locking knob (1) clockwise until the cutting head is locked into the rear most position Fig. 16). ADJUSTING THE MITER SAW ADJUSTING SLIDER FRICTION KNOB – cont’d 2. 1. To set the slider knob for operating the tool, turn the slider knob counter clockwise until the slider moves freely in and out but with enough friction to prevent sudden movements of the cutting head. Loosen the fence extender locking knob (1) on the side to which the cutting head is tilted (Fig. 18). Fig. 18 Fig. 16 2. Slide the fence extender (2) outward until the bevel appropriate angle (3) is aligned with the indexing mark (4) on the fence (Fig. 19). NOTES: a) Make sure the fence extender is slid AT LEAST to the bevel angle selected. b) There is a fence extender on each end of the fence. Make sure to adjust the left extender when the cutting head is tilted toward the left, etc. 3. Retighten the fence extender locking knob when the fence extender is set in the correct position. ADJUSTING BEVEL FRICTION The bevel friction can be adjusted to make the cutting head easier or harder to move from side to side. To reduce the friction, turn the friction lock nut (1) counter clockwise (Fig. 17). To increase the friction, turn the friction lock nut clockwise. NOTE: Use a 17 mm wrench to turn the friction lock nut. Fig. 17 Fig. 19 ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE FENCE EXTENDERS ADJUSTING THE LASER It is important to ensure the laser beam is properly aligned with the saw blade. The procedure for aligning the laser is shown on the following page in the "OPERATING THE MITER SAW" section of this manual. ! WARNING: The bevel angle fence extenders MUST be adjusted to suit the BEVEL angle. If they are not adjusted properly, the fence will not function well and the cutting head could be damaged. 19 OPERATING THE MITER SAW SWITCHES & POWER INDICATOR LIGHT The switches and power indicator light are all contained within the main handle (1) of the miter saw (Fig. 20). The description of how each element functions is described in the following paragraphs. POWER INDICATOR LIGHT The power indicator (2) will turn ON as soon as the plug is connected to a "live" power source. If the light does not turn ON, the power source is not "live". Fig. 20 LASER & WORKLIGHT ON/OFF SWITCH BODY & HAND POSITION DURING CUTTING The laser and worklight are turned ON and OFF with the same switch (3). To turn the switch ON, press the front edge of the switch. To turn the switch OFF, press the rear edge of the switch. ! WARNING: Never stare directly at the laser beam. It can severely damage your eyes. ! WARNING: Never cut small workpieces that are too small to be safely held by hand. Always secure small workpieces to the base using the hold-down clamp supplied with the tool (Fig. 7). Never cross your arms. Always place your hands AT LEAST 4" from the blade. LOCK-OFF SWITCHES  This tool is equipped with two lock-off switches (4) to prevent unintentional starting. Two lock-off switches are supplied to accommodate both right and left hand operation of the tool. ONE of these lock-off switches must be pressed and held before the tool will start.  TRIGGER SWITCH  To turn the tool ON, press and hold one of the lock-off switches, then squeeze the trigger switch (5). Once the tool starts, you can release the lock-off switch while continuing to squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the tool OFF, release the trigger switch. NOTE: Once the trigger switch has been released, the tool cannot be restarted without pressing and holding a lock-off switch before squeezing the trigger switch. Proper positioning of your body and hands will make cutting easier and safer. Keep your face and body to one side of the blade, out of line with a possible debris throwback (Fig. 21). Do not overreach; keep good footing and balance. Place your hands at least 4" from the blade. Hold the workpiece firmly against the fence and keep your hands in position until the trigger has been released and the blade has completely stopped. Before making a cut, either make a "dry run" with the power off to determine the path of the blade or turn on the laser and check the path of the blade against the laser. Fig. 21 20 OPERATING THE MITER SAW USING THE WORKPIECE SUPPORT ! WARNING When cutting longer workpieces, always use the base extension supports (1) for more accurate cutting and to help prevent the long workpiece from sagging (Fig. 22). For safety reasons, the operator must read the sections of this Owner’s Manual entitled "GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS", "POWER TOOL SAFETY", "SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES", "EXTENSION CORD SAFETY" and "SYMBOLS" before using this miter saw. Verify the following every time the miter saw is used: Fig. 22 1. 2. USING THE HOLD-DOWN CLAMP 3. The hold-down clamp should be used whenever possible to firmly anchor the workpiece to the base (Fig. 23). Use the clamp to hold the longer portion of the workpiece. Using the hold-down clamp will promote more accurate cuts. 4. 5. The blade is properly installed. The blade is sharp and in good condition. The miter angle lock and bevel angle lock are tight and properly holding the cutting head in the desired position. The workpiece is properly secured. Safety glasses and hearing protection are being worn. Failure to observe these safety rules will significantly increase the risk of injury. MAKING A TEST CUT Fig. 23 It is important to make a test cut on a scrap workpiece each time one or more settings on the saw have been changed. It is particularly important to make a test cut at 0° miter and 0° bevel settings to verify that the saw will accurately cut at right angles and that the laser is properly set. 21 1. Clamp a scrap workpiece such as a 2x4 (1) onto the base, leaving approximately 2" to be cut off (Fig. 24). 2. Grasp the main handle and lift the cutting head to its highest point. OPERATING THE MITER SAW MAKING A TEST CUT – cont’d LASER LINE ADJUSTMENT 3. Turn the laser/worklight switch ON. NOTE: The laser cutting line (2) will show on the 2x4. 4. Grasp the main handle and turn the saw ON. 5. Pull the main handle toward you as far as it will go, then pull the handle downward, and finally push it away from you while cutting the 2x4. NOTES: a) Follow the cutting head movement pattern (3). b) Only cut part way through the workpiece Fig. 25.You will need the saw cut for adjusting the laser. Now that you have made a test cut, the laser will have to be aligned so it is immediately beside the cutting line (Fig. 25). Adjustment will vary depending upon whether the "good piece" is to the left or right hand side of the blade. For purposes of illustration, the "good piece" is to the right hand side of the workpiece (1) as is usually the case for right handed operators. Left handed operators will normally leave the "good piece" to the left hand side of he workpiece (2). 6. When the partial cut is complete, release the trigger switch and do NOT move the cutting head until the blade comes to a complete stop. 7. Fig. 25 ! WARNING: Never stare directly at the laser beam. It can severely damage your eyes. Lift the main handle up to its maximum height. NOTE: Do not move the clamped workpiece at this point, as it must remain in position to adjust the laser. To adjust the laser line, use a #2 screwdriver to loosen the two laser mounting screws (1) (Fig. 26). Slide the laser bracket to the left or right until the laser beam just clears the right hand side of the blade and is completely on the "good piece". This will align the blade so it will cut the workpiece on the left hand side of the laser beam. Tighten the two laser mounting screws and make another test cut to verify the laser alignment. Fig. 26 To make a miter cut at another angle, loosen the miter locking knob, rotate the base to the correct miter angle and lock the miter adjusting knob. Fig. 24 22 OPERATING THE MITER SAW USING THE REPETITIVE CUT STOP CLEANING THE DUST BAG The base extensions (1) have built-in stops for use when making repetitive cuts of the same length (Fig. 27). To use the stop, simply rotate the stop (2) 90° so it provides a positive stop for the workpiece. NOTE: To adjust the length of the piece to be cut, simply loosen the base extension locking screw and slide the base extension in or out until the cut stop is the correct distance from the blade. The cut stop can be used for repetitive cut lengths between 6" & 12". The dust collection bag located behind the motor assembly must be cleaned regularly to maintain its efficiency. 1. To remove the dust bag, squeeze the two wire clamp wings (1) together and slide the dust bag off the dust chute (Fig. 28). 2. Hold the open end of the dust bag over a trash can and shake all the sawdust from the bag. 3. Reinstall the dust bag on the dust chute by reversing the removal instructions in paragraph #1 above. Fig. 27 Fig. 28 23 OPERATING THE MITER SAW CUTTING A WARPED WORKPIECE COMPOUND CUTTING ! WARNING: Cutting a warped workpiece as illustrated below may result in the blade to bind. This could cause the workpiece to jump unexpectedly and cause serious injury. Compound cutting is simply making a miter cut and a bevel cut at the same time. Always place the convex side of the warped workpiece against the fence (Fig. 29). 1. Adjust the fence extender to the appropriate angle 2. Loosen the bevel locking lever, move the cutting head to the appropriate angle and lock the bevel locking lever. 3. Loosen the miter locking knob, position the base at the appropriate angle and lock the miter locking knob. 4. While firmly holding the workpiece against the base and the fence, turn the saw ON and make the cut. NOTE: When making a compound cut, you should move your feet and body to keep yourself in line with the handle as you make the cut. To perform a compound cut: Fig. 29 BEVEL CUTTING 1. Adjust the fence extender (1) as outlined in Fig. 18 &19). 2. Loosen the bevel locking lever (2) (Fig. 30). 3. Rotate the cutting head (3) to the desirable bevel angle. 4. Tighten the bevel locking lever. 5. Hold the workpiece firmly against the left hand side of the fence, stand to the left side of the miter saw and make the cut. CUTTING BASE MOLDING Base moldings and trims can be cut on a compound miter saw. The method depends upon the type of molding, its characteristics and its applications (Fig. 31). Fig. 30 24 1. Use vise clamps, hold-down or C-clamps whenever possible. Place tape on the area being clamped to avoid marking the finish surface of the molding. 2. Tape the area being cut to avoid splintering, and mark the cut line on the tape. 3. Perform practice cuts on scrap pieces before cutting the final molding. NOTE: Splintering may be caused due to the thinness of the molding or use of the wrong type of saw blade. OPERATING THE MITER SAW CUTTING BASE MOLDING – cont’d Crown molding is thin and splinters very easily. Crown molding with widths less than 4½" should be with the edges resting on both the fence and the base. Crown moldings with widths between 4½" and 10¼" should be cut with the back of the molding lying flat on the base. NOTE: Refer to the chart below that explains the correct angles for cutting the various elements of the crown molding corners. Fig. 31 CUTTING CROWN MOLDING Crown molding must be compound mitered with extreme accuracy. The two surfaces on the crown molding must fit the wall or ceiling, and each other. The two cut surfaces of the mitered molding must add to a 90° angle. Most crown molding has a top angle of 52° that fits flat on the ceiling, and a bottom rear angle of 38° that fits flat against the wall. 25 MAINTENANCE GENERAL 5. While holding the blade locking button inward to prevent the blade rotating, place the special blade screw wrench on the blade screw (3) and turn the screw CLOCKWISE to remove it from the arbor (Fig. 34). NOTES: a) Be sure to turn the blade screw CLOCKWISE.
