control.
zNever use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
zDo not use to cut logs, tree limbs, or uneven lumber.
zWet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, and pressure treated lumber all have an increased
potential for kickback and should only be cut with a blade for cutting that lumber type. Wear a
NIOSH-approved respirator and have appropriate ventilation whenever cutting pressure treated
lumber.
zDo not use blades made from high-speed steel, abrasive blades, metal-cutting blades or
masonry-cutting blades. The guards of this saw are not designed to protect against the failure of
such blades.
zBlades must be rated to at least the maximum speed marked on the tool.
zDO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR REMOVED. Moving
guards must move freely and close instantly.
zThe use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a
risk of injury to persons.
zWhen servicing use only identical replacement parts.
zDo not depress the spindle lock when starting or during operation.
zOnly use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be
ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in
the work area.
zStay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
zIndustrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
zMaintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If
unreadable or missing, contact the distributor for a replacement.
zAvoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
zPeople with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in

7OF20
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary
or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of
vibration-related injury:
zAnyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being
caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s
Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as
soon as possible.
zDo not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
zUse tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
zInclude vibration-free periods each day of work.
zGrip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
zTo reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration
occurs, stop use immediately.
UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure that all the parts shown on the Parts List and Diagram are
included. If any parts are missing or broken, please call the distributor at the number shown in this
manual as soon as possible.
SETUP – BEFORE USE:
WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Turn the
Power Switch of the tool to its “OFF” position and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before
assembling or making any adjustments to the tool.
ASSEMBLY
Attaching the Extension Supports and Miter Lock Handle
1. Insert the ends of the Extension Supports into the holes in the sides of the Base. Tighten the Wing
Screws to hold the Extensions in place. The upper edge of the Extensions will be level with the surface
of the saw. This provides a wider base for the work material to rest on.
2. Thread the Miter Lock Handle into the Plate until securely in place.
Attaching the Dust Collection Bag
3. The Dust Collection Bag slips over the Dust Outlet behind the Blade Housing Assembly. Sawdust
created by cutting is captured in the bag.
MOUNTING THE SAW
The Miter Saw must be mounted on a support before use. This may be a commercially available support or

8OF20
home made saw table. There are bolt holes provided in each of the four legs of the base. These should be
firmly mounted using bolts (not included) to your saw stand or saw table (not included). This will help
prevent tipping or movement of the saw, preventing injury. Also, the use of a saw table will make it easier to
efficiently handle work materials and make more accurate cuts.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: All parts below refer to the parts listed in this manual.
WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Unplug
power cord from power source before making any adjustments to this tool.
WORK PIECE AND WORK AREA SETUP
zDesignate a work area that is clean and well lit. The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent injury and distraction.
zRoute the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard
or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with
enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
zUse a saw table, saw stand or other means to support the work piece. The Miter Saw must be
mounted in such a way that the surface is level to the ground, and supports used must provide a
surface on the same level as the saw table. If the work surface and any work materials supports
are not level, and on the same level, unwanted bevel angles will appear in the cuts resulting in
poor joinery.
zWork pieces may be secured to the saw table using the Hold Down Clamp or other clamping
devices (not included). Securing the work piece will provide safety by preventing kick back and by
removing the need to hold work pieces near the blade by hand. Clamping the work piece will also
improve cutting accuracy by preventing the work piece from moving during the cutting operation.
zWhen using this saw, work pieces are often quite long. Allow room on both left and right of saw for
extended work pieces.
TOOL SETUP
USING THE WORK PIECE EXTENSION SUPPORTS
zThe Work Piece Extension Supports are inserted into each side of the Table, and locked in place
using the Wing Screws.
zWhen properly installed, the upper face of the Work Piece Extension Supports are level with the
Table, and provide a wider support surface for the work piece.
zAlways support the work piece to be level with the table, and so that after the cut is made the cut
off pieces will not fall. You may need to use saw horses or other supports (not included) to support
the work piece.
zIf the work piece is not level, you will make an unintentional bevel cut in the material. If the work
piece is not supported, it will bind the blade and may cause the material to kick back, potentially
causing injury.

9OF20
ADJUSTING THE MITER ANGLE
zA miter cut is one that is at an angle across the horizontal surface of the material. You will
commonly make 45º miter cuts to join two pieces in a right angle corner. A 30º cut is often used for
a scarf joint or to make a chamfered end.
zTo make a miter cut, loosen the Miter Lock Knob by turning it approximately 1/4 turn
counterclockwise. Press down the Thumb Lever to unlock the Table. While holding the Thumb
Lever down, move the Table to the desired angle. The Miter Angle Indicator will indicate the
selected angle. The table will lock into place at often used miter angles, including 22.5º, 30º, 45º,
and 90º on both left and right sides.
zWith the Table adjusted to the desired angle, place the work piece flush against the Fence, secure
it with the Hold Down Clamp and make the cut.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
zA bevel cut is one that is at an angle to the vertical plane of the material.
zBevel cuts can be used to miter relatively wide and thin material. Bevel cuts can be used in
combination with a miter cut to form a compound angle. Compound angle cuts are often used in
crown moldings, picture frames and similar trim materials.
zTo set the bevel angle, loosen the Bevel Lock Handle at the rear of the saw. To do this, press in the
Lock Button and rotate the Handle 1/2 turn counterclockwise. Move the blade assembly left to the
desired angle. You can read the angle on the Bevel Angle Indicator. Lock the blade assembly into
position by pressing in the Lock Button and rotating the Bevel Lock Handle clockwise. Tighten
firmly but not over-tight.
zMake a sample cut in a piece of scrap and check to be sure the bevel angle is correct. If it is not,
correct the angle before cutting your work material.
USING THE DEPTH STOP
zIf you want to make a kerfing or rabbet cut which does not cut through the work piece, you can use
the Depth Stop Screw to control the depth of the cut.
zTo limit blade assembly travel, turn the Depth Stop Screw clockwise. The further you screw down
the Depth Stop Screw, the shallower the cut will be.
zAfter the desired cut has been made, return the Depth Stop Screw to its open position by turning it
counterclockwise.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
zWhen the Handle is lowered, the Blade Guard raises automatically. When the Handle is raised the
Blade Guard returns to its safety position. Keep hands clear of the Blade when the Handle is
lowered. Never interfere with the proper movement of the Blade Guard.
zThere are locking mechanisms for the miter angle and the Slides. Unlock the Table to set the miter
angle, then re-lock it before making the cut. Unlock the Slide using the Slide Lock Wing Screw
before making a cut if the work material is too wide to “chop.”
zTo rotate the Table, press down the Miter Thumb Lever, rotate the Table to the desired angle, then
release the Miter Lock Lever. Notches are machined into the Base of the tool, which will lock the
Table into several often used miter angles. These angles are 0º (centered), 15º, 22.5º, 30º and 45º
both left and right cut.
zOn wider pieces, you will have to slide the blade while making the cut. To unlock the Slide, loosen

10OF20
the Slide Lock Wing Screw at the back of the saw.
zTo make a bevel cut, release the Bevel Lock Lever; rotate the blade assembly to the desired bevel
angle, then lock the blade assembly in place using the Bevel Lock Lever. Making bevel cuts is
discussed in more detail later in this manual.
zThis saw is provided with a Kerf Board. The Kerf Board helps to prevent tear-out on the bottom
side of the work material. The Kerf Board is factory adjusted prior to shipment of this tool so the
blade does not contact the Kerf Board during normal operation, including bevel cuts. Adjustment of
the Kerf Board and techniques to prevent tear-out are discussed later in this booklet.
zBefore starting work, check the accuracy of the Guide Fence, miter angle and bevel angle.
Instructions for checking and adjusting these angles are discussed later in this booklet.
zIt is very important that the work material be properly supported before making a cut. The material
must be level on the Table. The material must be supported on both ends. Using the Work Piece
Extension Supports is discussed in the next section.
zUse this saw only for its intended purpose of cutting flat rectangular or round wood stock, or
finished molding. Do not use it for cutting firewood, brush, or anything that does not lie flat on the
table. Doing so may cause binding or violent kick-back that may result in damage or personal
injury.
MAKING A CUT
zObserve all safety and planning items discussed in this booklet. Detailed instructions on each of the
following steps are discussed in this booklet. Do not make any cuts until you have read this entire
booklet and are familiar with the operation of this tool.
zRelease the Locking Pin to allow the blade assembly to come up. Check to be sure the Table is fixed in
place at the desired miter angle. Check to be sure the slide lock is released to allow the blade assembly
to slide freely.
zBlow any sawdust or debris away from the Fence. Place the work material against the Fence.
zMake any necessary miter or bevel adjustments.
zAlign the marked location of the cut on the work material with the saw blade. Be aware that the Saw
Blade will remove material from the cut equal to the width of the blade. This is the “kerf”. To prevent
your work piece from being cut too short, align the edge of the blade with your measured mark, keeping
the kerf on the waste side of the cut.
zHold the work material in place using the Hold Down Vise. Ensure that the work material is level and
supported securely, using saw horses or supports if necessary.
zGrip the Saw Handle and squeeze the Trigger to start the Blade turning.
zPressing down lightly, move the Blade smoothly across the work material to cut it. With narrow material,
you can press straight down “chopping” the material. With wider material you must move the Blade
across the material to cut it. Do not bear down on the material, use light downward pressure. If the
material binds the blade, release the trigger. Keep your hands away from the Blade.
zWhen the cut is completed, raise the blade assembly, wait for the Blade to stop turning, release the
Hold Down Vise and remove the work material from the saw.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Turn the
Power Switch of the tool to its “OFF” position and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before
performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

11OF20
WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE: Do not use damaged
equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
zBEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for loose screws,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, and
any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
zAFTER USE, clean external surfaces of the tool with clean, moist cloth. To prevent accidents, turn
off the tool and disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of
children’s reach.
zIf the blade has become dirty, use a blade cleaner (not included) to clean it. Dirty blades will bind
more easily, and will more often overheat and burn the wood as it cuts. Overheated blades dull
more easily.
zIf the Blade has become dull, replace it. Dull blades will cause increased tear-out and ragged
edges on the cuts.
zOccasionally clean the Slides, rotating Table components and other moving parts. Use a good
quality dry lubricant (not included) which will not attract dust.
zObserve the Dust Bag while using the saw. Empty the sawdust into an appropriate container when
the bag is full.
zOccasionally wipe or blow off sawdust that accumulates on the saw. Saw dust on the Fence can
cause you to make inaccurate cuts.
zKeep the Slides free of sawdust. Wipe or blow them off as required. Use a dry lubricant or wax on
the slides. Do not use an oil or grease lubricant, as this will attract dust.
zOccasionally lubricate the pivot point of the Table as well as other moving parts with a dry
lubricant.
zWARNING! If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced only by a
qualified service technician.
REPLACING THE BLADE
WARNING: TO REDUCE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY: Return guard to original position and
secure in place after replacing blade.

9. Replace the Outer Flange and Arbor Bolt. Tighten the Arbor Bolt securely using the Wrench by
turning it counterclockwise.
10. Rotate the Center Cover back into place and tighten the Center Cover Fixing Bolt using the Wrench
by turning it clockwise. 11. Release the Locking Pin.
ADJUSTING THE FENCE
The Fence holds the work piece in a fixed position while the Table and or the blade assembly are adjusted
in a miter or bevel angle. To make accurate cuts, the Fence must be perpendicular (at a 90º angle) to the
Saw Blade.
zBefore beginning work, make a test cut on scrap material with the Table set at 90º.
zCheck the cut with an accurate square. You can also reverse the two pieces, hold the cut ends
together, and hold a good straight edge along the side of the pieces.
zIf either test reveals that the cut is not a true 90º angle, you must adjust the Fence before
beginning work.
If Fence needs adjustment:
zFirst unplug the tool.
zLower the blade assembly and lock it in place using the Locking Pin.
zLay a carpenter’s square on the table with one edge along the blade and the other along the
Fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible. NOTE: The square must contact the surface of the blade,
not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
zThe Fence is held in place with bolts at each end. Loosen the bolts slightly, and gently tap the
Fence into position using a soft mallet. Retighten the bolts and make another test cut. Repeat the
process until the Fence is adjusted accurately.
zOnce the Fence is accurately adjusted, tighten the bolts firmly in place. Recheck one last time,
then proceed to work.
ADJUSTING THE MITER TABLE INDICATOR
zAfter you have checked or adjusted the fence to be sure it is at 90º to the Blade, check the accuracy of
the Miter Table Angle Indicator.
zLoosen the screw holding the Angle Indicator in place.
zRotate it until the pointer is exactly on 90º. 4. Retighten the screw.

14OF20
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
For making accurate cuts, the Saw Blade must be adjusted to be exactly vertical to the Table.
zTo check the angle, have the blade assembly in its normal upright position. Make a cut on a piece
of flat sided, fairly thick scrap material.
zCheck the cut with an accurate square. The cut should be at exactly 90º. You can also check by
rotating one cut-off piece 180º and hold the cut ends together. If the cut is not exactly vertical, the
two pieces will form a slight angle.
zIf necessary, the bevel angle can be corrected by adjusting the Bevel Adjustment Screw on the
right side under the Bevel Locking Lever.
zOnce the bevel angle is adjusted, adjust the Bevel Angle Indicator to read 0º when the Saw Blade
is in the vertical position. Loosen the screw holding the Indicator in place, adjust it to be exactly
over the 0º mark, then retighten the screw.
ADJUSTING OR REPLACING THE KERF BOARD
If the Kerf Board becomes damaged it must be replaced.
zRemove the four screws holding the Kerf Board in place.
zInstall a new Kerf Board. Replace the four screws and tighten them slightly.
zTo adjust the Kerf Board, lower the Saw Blade and lock it down with the Locking Pin. Adjust the
Kerf Board so the right side of the Blade slightly clears the edge of the Kerf Board. Loosen the
Bevel Lock and set the Bevel Angle at 45º left. Ensure that the left side of the Blade clears the Kerf
Board. Tighten the four screws holding the Kerf Board in place.

WARNING
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 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.
