General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or BATTERY-
operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a Residual Current Device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
7. Power tools can produce electromagnetic
elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.
However, users of pacemakers and other similar
medical devices should contact the maker of their
device and/or doctor for advice before operating
this power tool.
8. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
9. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.

3ENGLISH
Personal Safety
1. Stay 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or BATTERY pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the BATTERY pack, if detach-
able, from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a
power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the volt-
age supplied is the same as that specied on the name-
plate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater
than that specied for the tool can result in SERIOUS
INJURY to the user- as well as damage to the tool. If in
doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power
source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Safety instructions for mitre saws
1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material
such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust
causes moving parts such as the lower guard to
jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the
lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
2. Use clamps to support the workpiece when-
ever possible. If supporting the workpiece
by hand, you must always keep your hand at
least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade.
Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too
small to be securely clamped or held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade,
there is an increased risk of injury from blade
contact.
3. The workpiece must be stationary and
clamped or held against both the fence and the
table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade
or cut "freehand" in any way. Unrestrained
or moving workpieces could be thrown at high
speeds, causing injury.
4. Never cross your hand over the intended line
of cutting either in front or behind the saw
blade. Supporting the workpiece "cross handed"
i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw
blade with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.
5. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning. The proxim-
ity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not
be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
6. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with
the outside bowed face toward the fence.
Always make certain that there is no gap
between the workpiece, fence and table along
the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces
can twist or shift and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be
no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
7. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the work-
piece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or
other objects that contact the revolving blade can
be thrown with high speed.
8.
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
9. Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level,
rm work surface before use. A level and rm work sur-
face reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
10. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece
and will not interfere with the blade or the guard-
ing system. Without turning the tool "ON" and with
no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade
through a complete simulated cut to assure there will
be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
11. Provide adequate support such as table exten-
sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is
wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip
if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be
thrown by the spinning blade.
12.
Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support. Unstable
support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind
or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation
pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
13. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade. If conned, i.e. using length stops, the
cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
14. Always use a clamp or a xture designed to
properly support round material such as rods
or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while
being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the
work with your hand into the blade.
15. Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.

5ENGLISH
16. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving
parts to stop and disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or remove the battery
pack. Then work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
17.
After nishing the cut, release the switch, hold
the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop
before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with
your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
18. Hold the handle rmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before the
saw head is completely in the down position. The
braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to
be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
19. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specied in the man-
ual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tion which could result in serious personal injury.
20.
Only use the saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
21. Always select the correct saw blade for the
material to be cut. Do not use the saw blade to
cut materials other than those specied.
22. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
Additional instructions
1. Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and
miter cutting in wood. With appropriate saw
blades, aluminum can also be sawed.
2. Make workshop kid proof with padlocks.
3. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
4. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn
the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
5.
Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp
or tie the blade guard into the open position.
6. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
7. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
8. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
9.
Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch hardened
on blades slows saw and increases potential for
kickback. Keep blade clean by rst removing it from
tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch remover, hot
water or kerosene. Never use gasoline to clean blade.
10. Use only anges specied for this tool.
11.
Be careful not to damage the arbor, anges (espe-
cially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to
these parts could result in blade breakage.
12. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a
stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool
where operator positioning would be awkward.
13. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
14. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
15.
Hold the handle rmly. Be aware that the saw moves
up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
16. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
17. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
18. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
19. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"
position.
20. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
21.
Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

Blade guard
1
► 1. Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE
BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES
TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR
SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED.
DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

7ENGLISH
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or saw-
dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or
workpiece is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw
and clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not
use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the
plastic guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, use the supplied socket wrench
to loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen
the hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise
the blade guard and center cover. With the blade guard
so positioned, cleaning can be more completely and
efciently accomplished. When cleaning is complete,

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise.
Failure to do so can cause the tool to be dam-
aged and/or the workpiece to be destroyed.
PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also,
after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the
blade until the blade has come to a complete
stop.
CAUTION:
• When cutting long workpieces, use supports
that are as high as the top surface level of the
turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise
and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

► 1. Sub-fence
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence which should
ordinarily be positioned as shown in the gure.
However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the
left position as shown in the gure.
CAUTION:
• When performing left bevel cuts, ip the fence
over to the left position as shown in the gure.
Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a part of
the tool, causing possible serious injury to the
operator.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the
holder assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder assem-
bly and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the oppo-
site side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle all the way.
If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece at against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it rmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured rmly against
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations.

► 1. Vise knob 2. Projection 3. Vise shaft 4. Base
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. When performing
15° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on
the side opposite the direction in which the turn base is
to be turned.
By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw
is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in
and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise
knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its
topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob
is forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise,
the projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn
the vise knob back counterclockwise until the screw is
released, before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 130 mm (5-1/8").
CAUTION:
• Grip the workpiece only when the projection is
at the topmost position. Failure to do so may
result in insufcient securing of the workpiece.
This could cause the workpiece to be thrown,
cause damage to the blade or cause the loss
of control, which can result in PERSONAL
INJURY.
Holders and holder assembly
(optional accessories)
12
► 1. Holder 2. Holder assembly
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed
on either side as a convenient means of supporting
workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the
gure. Then tighten the screws rmly to secure the
holders and the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.

► 1. Holder assembly 2. Rod 12
CAUTION:
• Always support long workpieces level with the
top surface of the turn base for accurate cuts
and to prevent dangerous loss of control of the
tool.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from
the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efciency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without signicant decrease in blade speed.
• Gently press down the handle to perform the
cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if
lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and
the precision of the cut will be impaired.

13 ENGLISH
Press cutting
Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool
without the blade making any contact and wait until the
blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently
lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the
workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch off the
tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully
elevated position.
Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter
angle".
Bevel cut
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel
angle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the
bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever rmly to
secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the
workpiece with a vise. Switch on the tool without the
blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the
fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel
with the blade. When the cut is completed, switch off the
tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully
elevated position.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the blade will move down to
bevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands
out of path of saw blade.
• During a bevel cut, it may create a condition
whereby the piece cut off will come to rest
against the side of the blade. If the blade is
raised while the blade is still rotating, this piece
may be caught by the blade, causing fragments
to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade
should be raised ONLY after the blade has
come to a complete stop.
• When pressing the handle down, apply pressure
parallel to the blade. If the pressure is not par-
allel to the blade during a cut, the angle of the
blade might be shifted and the precision of the
cut will be impaired.
• Always set the sub-fence to the left position
when performing left bevel cuts.
Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel
angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle
is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be
performed at angle shown in the table.

When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press
cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut" explanations.
Cutting crown and cove moldings
Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound
miter saw with the moldings laid at on the turn base.
There are two common types of crown moldings and
one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown
molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall
angle cove molding. See illustrations.

Measuring
Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table to cut
wall contact edge to desired length. Always make sure that
cut workpiece length at the back of the workpiece is the
same as wall length. Adjust cut length for angle of cut. Always
use several pieces for test cuts to check the saw angles.
When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevel angle and
miter angle as indicated in the table (A) and position the moldings
on the top surface of the saw base as indicated in the table (B).

deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up
of the aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may
come loose during operation and round alumi-
num extrusions cannot be secured rmly with
this tool.
Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts
in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.

► 1. Set plate 2. Holder 3. Screw
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 240 mm (9-29/64") to 400 mm
(15-3/4"), use of the set plate (optional accessory) will
facilitate more efcient operation. Install the set plate on
the holder (optional accessory) as shown in the gure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the
left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and
while holding the workpiece from moving, move the
set plate ush against the end of the workpiece. Then
secure the set plate with the screw. When the set plate
is not used, loosen the screw and turn the set plate out
of the way.
NOTE:
• Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional acces-
sory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to
2,200 mm (7.2 ft.) approximately.
