OWNER'S MANUAL

(For models manufactured since 8/19)

184892

This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup,

operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this

document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual

may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation,

electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use.

This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in

a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization,

proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre-

hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool

integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage

from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• 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 equip-

ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter

out microscopic particles.

Glossary Of Terms

The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate

to this miter saw and woodworking in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting

or operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!

Arbor: A metal shaft extending from the drive

mechanism that is the mounting location for the

saw blade.

Bevel Cut: A cut made with the blade tilted left or

right to an angle between 0˚-45˚ from vertical,

to cut a beveled edge onto a workpiece. Refer

to Page 31 for more details.

Blade Guard Assembly: Metal or plastic safety

device that mounts over the saw blade. Its func-

tion is to prevent the operator from coming into

contact with the saw blade.

Chop Cut: Cutting operation in which the

workpiece is narrow or tall and, when secured

to the table, rests behind the center of the saw

blade. The saw blade "plunges" straight down

to perform the cut. Refer to Page 26 for more

details.

Compound Cut: A cut made while employing

both a miter and bevel cut at the same time.

Refer to Page 32 for more details.

Dado Cut: Cutting operation that does not extend

completely through the workpiece (i.e. to cut

a flat bottomed groove into the face of the

workpiece). Refer to Page 34 for more details.

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece

after the saw blade passes through during a

cutting operation.

Miter Cut: A cut made with the cutting arm and

saw head rotated to an angle between 0˚-60˚

from the fence to cut a workpiece at an angle.

Refer to Page 30 for more details.

Kickback: Miter saw kickback refers to the cut-

ting head "kicking back" at the user with great

force, often making a loud noise. This could

cause user to lose control and make contact

with the blade or eject workpiece cutoff. Miter

saw kickback is usually caused by binding at

the blade because the workpiece is improperly

supported. It can also be caused by cutting the

wrong type of workpiece materials for the saw/

blade, such as metal.

Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every

point along two given lines or planes (i.e. the

laser guide is parallel to the line of cut).

Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect and

form right angles (i.e. at 0˚ bevel, the blade is

perpendicular to the table surface).

Pull Cut: Incorrect cutting operation that involves

pulling the cutting head and blade toward the

operator through the workpiece. Pull cutting will

likely cause a workpiece to kickback toward the

operator.

Push Cut: Cutting operation that involves pulling

the cutting head toward the operator and the

cutting arm to begin cut at the foremost front

of the workpiece, then advancing through the

remainder of the cut from front to back. Push

cuts are ideal for wider workpieces in which

a chop cut will not suffice for the entire width.

Refer to Page 27 for more details.

Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness,

parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).

Through Cut: A cut in which the blade cuts com-

pletely through the workpiece. Refer to Page

23 for more details.
