GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
In the eventofa malfunction orbreakdown,grounding provides a path ofleastresistance forelectric currentto reduce the risk of
electric shock.This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductorand a grounding plug.
The plug mustbe plugged into a matching outletthatis properly installed and grounded in accordance with all localcodes and
ordinances.
Do notmodify the plug provided - ifitwill notfitthe outlet,have the properoutletinstalled by a qualified electrician.
Improperconnection ofthe equipment-grounding conductorcan resultin risk ofelectric shock.The conductorwith insulation
having an outersurface thatis green with orwithoutyellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.If repairorreplacement
ofthe electric cord orplug is necessary,do notconnectthe equipment-grounding conductorto a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician orservice personnelifthe grounding instructions are notcompletely understood,orifin doubt
as to whetherthe machine is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords thathave 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductorreceptacles thatacceptthe
machine’s plug,as shown in Fig.A.
Repairorreplace damaged orworn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:
If the machine is intended foruse on a circuitthathas an outletthatlooks like the one illustrated in Fig.A,the machine will have
a grounding plug thatlooks like the plug illustrated in Fig.A. A temporary adapter,which looks like the adapterillustrated in Fig.
B,may be used to connectthis plug to a matching 2-conductorreceptacle as shown in Fig.B ifa properly grounded outletis not
available.The temporary adaptershould be used only until a properly grounded outletcan be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear,lug,and the like,extending from the adaptermustbe connected to a permanentground such as a
properly grounded outletbox.Wheneverthe adapteris used,itmustbe held in place with a metalscrew.

ADJUSTING THE TwinLaser ™ LINES
The laserlines have been aligned parallelto the blade atthe factory and should notneed any adjustmentpriorto use.
However,left-to-rightadjustmentto the laserlines may be necessary ifyou change to a thickerorthinnerkerfblade.For
information on changing yourblade,referto the "MAINTENANCE: CHANGING THE BLADE" section ofthis manual.
To adjustthe laserlines to the edge ofthe cut,follow the instructions below.
HOW THE LASERS WORK
The laserunits are mounted in a housing thatis fitted into the upperblade guard ofthe mitersaw ( Fig.A ) .The laserunits
are aligned to the originalequipmentblade atthe factory and are secured in place.A testcuthas been made with each
saw to verify lasersetup.If yoursaw becomes misaligned oryou desire additionalprecision,this guide is intended to
assistyou in fine-tuning yourlasermitersaw.
HOW TO CHECK LASER ALIGNMENT
Setthe saw to 0 degrees,miterand bevel,and clamp a 2"x 6" board on the saw.Create a partialtestcutin the
workpiece ( Fig.C ) .Press the laserswitch to the “ON” position ( Fig.B ) ,observe where the lines fall,and make a decision
as to whetheran adjustmentis necessary.Leave the workpiece clamped in place forthe remainderofthe adjustment.
Observe the CAUTION label (L) Fig. B2.
Place a padlock (A) Fig. B2 (with 3/16" shackle) through the hole in the trigger switch and lock
to prevent accidental motor startup. This padlock MUST remain in place during the adjustment
procedure.
The laserlines are properly positioned when the beams oflightfall on the edge ofthe cutcreated by the blade ( Fig.D ) .

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE
When performing multiple or repetitive
operations that result in small cut-off pieces (one inch
or less), the saw blade can catch the cut-off pieces and
project them out of the machine or into the blade guard and
housing, causing damage or injury. To limit the risk, mount
an auxiliary wood fence on your saw (Fig. 34).
Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence
( A ) Fig.34.This auxiliary fence is constructed ofstraightwood
approximately 1/2" thick by 3" high by 20" long.NOTE: The
auxiliary fence ( A ) is used ONLY with the saw blade in the 0°
bevelposition ( 90 degrees to the table ) .When bevelcutting
( blade tilted ) ,remove the auxiliary fence.Fig. 34

depending on the workpiece.
NOTE: Ensure that the top of the support 2 x 4’s (C) are
level with the miter saw table. This is criticalbecause the
distance from the top ofthe 2 x 4’s ( A ) to the mitersaw table
varies from saw to saw.In mostcases,standard 2 x 4’s ( C )
can used.If these are too high,cutthem to fit.If the 2 x 4’s
are too low,use 2 x 6’s.If these are high,cutthem to the
correctheight.
WORK SUPPORT EXTENSIONS
CUTTING ALUMINUM
Aluminum extrusions such as used formaking aluminum
screens and storm windows can easily be cutwith
yourcompound mitersaw.When cutting aluminum
extrusions,orothersections thatcan be cutwith a
saw blade and are within the capacity ofthe machine,
position the materialso the blade is cutting through the
smallestcross-section ( Fig.35 ) .The wrong way to cut
aluminum angles is illustrated in Fig.36.Be sure to apply
a stick wax to the blade before cutting aluminum stock.
This stick wax is available atmostindustrialmill supply
houses.The wax provides properlubrication and keeps
chips from adhering to the blade.

One ofthe many features ofthe saw is the ease ofcutting crown moulding.The following is an example ofcutting both inside and
outside corners on 52°/38° wall angle crown moulding.
1.Move the table to the 31.62°rightmiterposition and lock the table in position.NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle
quickly.
2.Tiltthe saw blade to the 33.86°leftbevelposition and tighten bevellock handle.NOTE: A triangle indicatoris provided on the
bevelscale to find this angle quickly.
3.Place the crown moulding on the table with the CEILING EDGE ofthe moulding againstthe fence,and make the cut,as shown
in Fig.C1.
NOTE: The piece ofcrown moulding used forthe outside cornerwill always be on the righthand side ofthe blade,as shown at ( A )
Fig.C1.The piece ofcrown moulding used forthe inside cornerwill always be on the lefthand side ofthe blade,as shown at
( B ) Fig.C1.
4.To make the matching halves ofthe inside and outside corners,rotate the table to the 31.62°leftmiterposition.
NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly.The saw blade is already tilted to the 33.86°leftbevelposition from the
previous cut.
5.Place the crown moulding on the table with the WALL EDGE ofthe crown moulding againstthe fence and make the cut.Again,
the piece ofcrown moulding used forthe outside cornerwill always be on the rightside ofthe blade,as shown at ( C ) Fig.C2.The
piece ofcrown moulding used forthe inside cornerwill always be on the leftside ofthe blade,as shown at ( D ) Fig.C2.
6.Fig.C3 illustrates the two outside cornerpieces - ( A ) being the piece cutat ( A ) Fig.C1 and ( C ) being the piece cutat ( C ) Fig.
