WARNING!
To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, DO
NOT plug in the mitre saw until you have read and
understood the rules.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
This manual contains information that relates to PROTECTING PERSONAL SAFETY and
PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. It is very important to read this manual carefully
and understand it thoroughly before using the product. The symbols listed below are
used to indicate this information.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduces risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
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 influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
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.
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.
Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To
make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start
the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting
on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and
violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
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.
Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 4" (10 cm) from either side
of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps or for any other reason, while the blade is
spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious
and you may be seriously injured.
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.
Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the
workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the
revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
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.
Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A
level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
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 guarding 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.
Provide adequate support such as table extensions, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 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.
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 damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking 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.
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.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with
abrasive 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.
Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece
by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 4" (10 cm) from either side of the
saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped

SAFETY GUIDELINES
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade. If confined, i.e., using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
Always use a clamp or a fixture 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.
Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the
risk of the workpiece being thrown.
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. Then work to free the
jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of
control or damage to the mitre saw.
After finishing 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.

POWER REQUIREMENTS
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply
that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into and outlet,
double check the power supply.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. Make sure extension cords are in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the drawn
current needed by the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and
nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
WARNING!
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminal or the plug
when installing or removing the plug from an outlet.
model no. 055-9034-6 | contact us 1-888-670-6682
•
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need
for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from
the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double-insulated tools
do not need to be grounded.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, double-insulated
tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
USE SAFETY GOGGLES AND EAR PROTECTION
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CUL
REQUIREMENTS. FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage.
The tool is loud and the sound can cause hearing damage. Always wear
ear protection to help prevent hearing damage and loss. Failure to
comply may result in moderate injury.
USE DUST MASK
Some dust created by sawing contains chemicals that are known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals come from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks,
cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Danger! Keep hands away from blade

WARNING!
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged,
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged
cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electric shock resulting in serious injury.
WARNING!
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Positon the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING!
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage
to the tool, use proper circuit protection.
Be sure extension cords are properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it.
Protect extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools. This circuit must not be less than #
14 wire with a 15 Amp time-delayed fuse, and should be protected with a time-delayed
fuse. Before connecting the tool to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor’s
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

MOUNTING THE WORKPIECE CLAMP
(FIG. 7a-7b)
There are two mounting holes for the
workpiece clamp. These are located just
behind the mitre fence on the left and right
side of the base.
The workpiece clamp provides greater control
by clamping the workpiece to the mitre table.
It also helps to prevent the workpiece from
creeping toward the saw blade. This is very
helpful when cutting compound mitres.
Depending on the cutting operation and the
size of the workpiece, it may be necessary to
use a C-clamp (not included) instead of the
workpiece clamp to secure the workpiece
prior to making the cut. The workpiece clamp
can be installed and used on either side of the
blade.

WARNING!
To avoid injury, never use the saw without the
guard plate securely in place. It keeps the
arbour bolt from falling out if it accidentally
loosens and helps prevent the spinning blade
from coming off the saw.
Make sure the flanges are clean and properly
arranged. Lower the blade into the lower table
and check for any contact with the metal base
or the mitre table.
WARNING!
Make sure the lower blade guard operates
smoothly and properly protects the user
from the blade before using the saw.
STORAGE (Fig. 13)
REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BLADE
(Fig. 12a-12c)
WARNING!
Only use a 10” (25.4 cm) diameter
blade. Never use a blade that is too thick to
allow outer flange to engage with the flats on
the arbour. Larger blades will come in contact
with the blade guards, while thicker blades will
prevent the hex bolt from securing the blade
on the arbour. Either of these situations could
result in a serious accident and can cause
serious personal injury. To avoid injury from an
accidental start, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the plug is not connected to
the power source outlet.
