GENERAL SAFETY RULES

316
Grounding Instructions
1. (SEE FIGURE 1) All grounded, cord
connected tools: In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Do not modify the plug provided –if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
5. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
6. Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
Extension Cords
1. 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 gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
2. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
3. Use only UL listed extension cords. Inspect extension cord before use and never use damaged
or altered extension cords. Follow extension cord manufactures safety instruction.
4. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from the outlet.
6. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.

1. Do not operate miter saw until it has been assembled and installed according to the "Assembly
and Accuracy Adjustment” instructions.
2. Never use a blade larger or smaller than 10” in diameter.
3. Only use 10” diameter replacement blades with a 5/8” arbor hole and an operation rating of at
least 5,000 RPM
4. Only use the blade clamp washers supplied with the miter saw.
5. Always clamp or bolt miter saw to workbench or table before use.
6. Disconnect the power cord and wait for the saw blade to come to a complete stop before
making any blade adjustments.
7. Only carry the saw by the carrying handle.
8. Never cross arms in front of blade.
9. Always tighten adjustments knobs before use.
10. Keep arms, hands and fingers away from the blade to prevent severe cuts.
11. Never reach around or behind the saw blade. A moving saw blade can cause serious injury.
12. Always use a clamp to secure workpiece, when possible.
13. Always support long workpieces to prevent kickback or blade binding.
14. Do not operate saw with blade guard or covers removed or modified. Make sure guards are in
place and working properly before use.
15. Never perform “free-hand” operations. Make sure workpiece is secure and positioned firmly
against the miter table and fence.
16. Do not cut workpieces to small to be clamped.
17. To avoid accidental injury, always wear heavy duty work gloves when changing Saw Blade.
18. Before use, make sure the Saw Blade is properly mounted on the Saw Spindle. Make sure the

Making a Compound Miter Cut
A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This
type of cut is used to make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping sides, and for
certain roof framing cuts.
Follow procedure for “Making a Miter Cut” and “Making a Bevel Cut” on pages 13 and 14.
CAUTION: Care should always be taken when making compound miter setups due to the
interaction of the two angle settings. It may take several settings to obtain the desired
cut. The first angle setting should be checked after setting the second angle, since
adjusting the second angle affects the first.
Using Depth Stop
1. (SEE FIGURE 16) For making a kerfing or rabbet
cut which does not cut through the work piece,
use the depth stop screw (1) in combination with
the depth stop lever (2), to control the depth
of the cut.
2. To limit blade assembly travel, slide the depth
stop lever (2) out (away from blade), then turn
the depth stop screw (1) to adjust the depth of
cut . Rotate the screw:
Clockwise = the shallower cut will be
Counter Clockwise = the deeper cut will be
3. After the desired cut has been made, return the
depth stop lever to its normal position.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Never apply lubricant to the blade while
the miter saw is running.
Cutting Aluminum
NOTE: Aluminum extrusions such as
used for making aluminum screens
and storm windows can easily be cut
with your compound miter saw. Be sure
to apply a stick wax (similar to Johnson’s
stick wax #140) to the blade before
cutting any aluminum stock. This stick
wax is available at most industrial mill
supply houses. The stick wax provides
proper lubrication and keeps chips from
adhering to the blade.
1. (SEE FIGURES 17 & 18) When cutting
aluminum extrusions, or other sections
that can be cut with a saw blade and
are within the capacity of the machine,
position the material so the blade is
cutting through the smallest cross
section.
NOTE: The wrong way to cut aluminum
angles is illustrated in Figure 18.
