We recommend that you purchase your accessories
from the same store that sold you the tool. Use good
quality accessories with a well-known brand name.
Choose the type according to the work you intend
to undertake. Refer to the accessory packaging for
further details. Store personnel can assist you and
offer advice.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1.WORK AREA
- KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
- DO NOT OPERATE POWER TOOLS IN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERES, SUCH AS IN THE PRESENCE OF
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUSTS. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- KEEP BY-STANDERS, CHILDREN, AND VISITORS AWAY
WHILE OPERATING A POWER TOOL. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
- MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
- NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn
power off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
- STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, store your
tool in a dry, secured place. Keep out of reach of
children.
2.ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A
POLARIZED PLUG (ONE BLADE IS WIDER THAN THE
OTHER. THIS PLUG WILL FIT IN A POLARIZED OUTLET
ONLY ONE WAY. IF THE PLUG DOES NOT FIT FULLY IN
THE OUTLET, REVERSE THE PLUG. IF IT STILL DOES NOT
FIT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO INSTALL A
POLARIZED OUTLET. DO NOT CHANGE THE PLUG IN ANY
WAY. Double Insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system. Before plugging in the tool,
be certain the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the nameplate. Do not use “AC
only” rated tools with a DC power supply.
- AVOID BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES
SUCH AS PIPES, RADIATORS, RANGES AND
REFRIGERATORS. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded. If operating
the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable,
a ground fault circuit interrupter must be used to
supply the power to your tool. Electrician’s rubber
gloves and footwear will further enhance your
personal safety.
- DON’T 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
TO CARRY THE TOOLS OR PULL THE PLUG FROM AN
OUTLET. KEEP CORD AWAY FROM HEAT, OIL, SHARP
EDGES OR MOVING PARTS. REPLACE DAMAGED CORDS
IMMEDIATELY. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
- 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 electric shock.
- GROUNDED TOOLS MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN OUTLET
PROPERLY INSTALLED AND GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ALL CODES AND ORDINANCES. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user.
3.PERSONAL SAFETY
- STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND USE
COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL. DO
NOT USE TOOL WHILE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
- DRESS PROPERLY. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING
OR JEWELRY. CONTAIN LONG HAIR. KEEP YOUR HAIR,
CLOTHING, AND GLOVES AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS.
RK7135 psm254mu 060602.indd 6 2006-7-19 17:15:37

14A COMPOUND MITER SAW ENG
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Rubber gloves and non-
skid footwear are recommended when working
outdoors.
- AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. BE SURE SWITCH IS
“OFF” BEFORE PLUGGING IN. Carrying tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have
the switch “ON” invites accidents. Do not use a tool
if the power switch does not turn it “ON” and “OFF”.
- REMOVE ALL ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make
a habit of checking that adjusting keys, wrenches,
etc. are removed from the tool before turning it
“ON”.
- DO NOT OVERREACH. KEEP PROPER FOOTING AND
BALANCE AT ALL TIMES. Proper footing and balance
enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
- USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION. DUST MASK, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection may be used for
appropriate conditions.
- KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.
- NEVER STAND ON TOOL OR ITS STAND. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted.
- KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM ALL CUTTING EDGES AND
MOVING PARTS.
- IF DEVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR THE CONNECTION
OF DUST EXTRACTION AND COLLECTION FACILITIES,
ENSURE THESE ARE CONNECTED AND PROPERLY USED.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4.TOOL USE AND CARE
- USE CLAMPS OR OTHER PRACTICAL WAYS TO
SECURE AND SUPPORT THE WORK-PIECE TO A STABLE
PLATFORM. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
- DO NOT FORCE TOOL. USE THE CORRECT TOOL FOR
YOUR APPLICATION. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Excessive force only causes operator fatigue,
increased wear and reduced control.
- DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT “ON”
OR “OFF”. A tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, CHANGING
ACCESSORIES, OR STORING THE TOOL. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
- STORE IDLE TOOLS OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND
OTHER UNTRAINED PERSONS. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
- MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. KEEP CUTTING TOOLS
SHARP AND CLEAN. Properly maintained tools, with
sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and
easier to control.
- CHECK FOR MISALIGNMENT OR BINDING OF MOVING
PARTS, BREAKAGE OF PARTS, AND ANY OTHER
CONDITIONS THAT MAY AFFECT THE TOOL’S OPERATION.
IF DAMAGED, HAVE THE TOOL SERVICED BEFORE USING.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
- USE ONLY ACCESSORIES THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER FOR YOUR MODEL. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk
of injury when used on another tool.
- Use the right tool. Do not force the tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
- DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
- THE DUST GENERATED BY CERTAIN WOODS AND
WOOD PRODUCTS CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
Always operate machinery in well ventilated areas
and provide for proper dust removal. Use wood dust
collection systems whenever possible.
5. SERVICE
- TOOL SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED ONLY
BY QUALIFIED REPAIR PERSONNEL. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
- WHEN SERVICING A TOOL, USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN
THE MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS MANUAL. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
1. ASSEMBLING THE MITER SAW
WARNING: To prevent the accidental starting
that could cause possible serious personal injury,
ALWAYS assemble all parts to your saw BEFORE
connecting it to the power supply. The saw should
NEVER be connected to a power supply when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or
removing blades, or when not in use. Your compound
miter saw has been factory assembled and adjusted.
The miter lock handle and dust bag are the only parts
that have to be assembled.
LOCK HANDLE (see Fig. A)
a. Place the threaded stud on the end of the miter
lock handle into the threaded hole in the control arm.
b. Turn clockwise to tighten.
DUST BAG INSTALLATION (see Fig. B)
To reduce build-up of sawdust and maintain top
efficiency of cutting, the saw may be connected to
a workshop vacuum cleaner via the dust outlet. The
outlet accepts a 1-1/4” inner diameter vacuum hose.
Alternatively saw dust collection can be achieved by
clipping a dust bag on the dust extraction port. A dust
bag is provided for use on your miter saw. To install
it, simply fit the dust bag over the exhaust port on the
upper blade guard. To empty the dust bag, remove
it from the dust exhaust port, open the dust bag by
unzipping the side fastener.
NOTE: To ensure optimal dust collection, empty the
dust bag when it becomes filled approximately 2/3 of
its capacity.
TABLE EXTENSIONS (see Fig. C)
To install table extensions, insert ends of extensions
into the holes in either side or both sides of the base.
Secure them in place by tightening the screw.
WORK-PIECE CLAMP (see Fig. D,E)
The vertical clamp can be fitted on either side of
the saw and is fully adjustable to suit the size of the
work-piece. Do not operate the saw without clamping
the work-piece. Make sure that the clamp securing
screws are tightened.
WARNING: Use clamping position that does not
interfere with saw operation. Before switching on,
lower saw head to make sure clamp clears guard and
saw head assembly.
RELEASING THE SAW HEAD (see Fig. F)
When boxed, during storage, or transport the saw
head is locked in the down position. To release the
head for operation, apply downward pressure on the
saw head and pull the lock pin outwards and then
turn pin 90º to the left or right to lock it in place. The
saw head can now be raised and lowered.
2. KNOW YOUR SAW
BEVEL LOCK KNOB
The bevel lock knob (22) securely locks your
compound miter saw at the desired bevel angles.
MITER FENCE
Hold the work-piece securely against the miter fence
(6) when making all cuts.
SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD
The lower blade guard (5) is made of shock-resistant,
see-through plastic and it provides protection from
each side of blade. It retracts over the upper blade
guard as the blade is lowered into the work-piece.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If
the tool consistently fails to quickly stop blade after
switch trigger is released, have tool serviced by a
qualified person. The blade brake system is not a
substitute for the blade guard.
RK7135 psm254mu 060602.indd 10 2006-7-19 17:15:38

14A COMPOUND MITER SAW ENG
WARNING: Never use tool without a functioning blade
guard. Serious personal injury can result.
3. Miter LOCK HANDLE
The miter lock handle (10) securely locks your saw at
the desired miter angle.
4. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
The spindle lock button (20) on your saw allows you to
lock the spindle that keeps the blade in your saw from
rotating. Only depress and hold the lock button when
installing, changing or removing the blade.
5. TRIGGER SWITCH
To turn on the saw, squeeze the trigger switch (1).
Release switch to turn saw off.
6. POSITIVE STOPS ON THE MITER TABLE
The miter table has a miter scale that is color coded
for easy reading. It has miter indexes at 0º, 15º, 22.5º,
30º and 45º left and right with positive stops at 0º, 15º,
22.5º, 30º and 45º for exact miter cuts.
7. MOUNTING HOLES
Your compound miter saw should be permanently
mounted to a firm, stable-supporting surface, such
as a workbench. Four bolt holes have been provided
in the saw base for this purpose. Each of these four
mounting holes should be securely bolted using
Ø15/32” machine bolts, lock washers and hex nuts
(not included). Bolts should be long enough to fit
through the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts and
the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all four
bolts securely. Carefully check the workbench after
mounting the saw to make sure that no movement
can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding or walking
is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before
operating.
WARNING: Always make sure your compound miter
saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an
approved work-stand. Failure to do so could result in
an accident, resulting in possible serious personal
injury.
8. SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE MITER SAW (See
Fig. M,N)
a. Unplug the saw.
b. Loosen (unscrew) the miter lock handle (10)
approximately one-half turn.
c. Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter
table until the pointer is at 0°.
d. Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten
the miter lock handle.
e. Loosen the bevel lock handle.
f. Rotate the bevel rotating housing so the pointer is
at 0°. Lock bevel lock handle.
g. Pull the saw arm “down” and engage the lock pin.
Saw arm should now be in the transport or storing
position.
h. Now place a combination square on the miter
table and against the flat part of the saw blade.
NOTE: Be sure that the square contacts the flat side
of the blade, not the carbide teeth. This can be easily
done by easing the saw arm down with the blade in
the throat plate until the carbide teeth are below the
table.
i. Rotate the blade by hand and check the Blade-
to-Table squareness at several points. If the square
is not flat up against the blade when squared to the
table, perform steps j through n.
j. First locate the stop bolt and positive stop
adjustment screw for 0° angles. It is located on the
right side of the bevel rotating housing sleeve.
k. Loosen the bevel lock handle, and then rotate the
saw blade arm to the left so it clears the positive stop
adjustment screw.
l. Adjust the positive stop adjustment screw up or
down to bring the saw blade into alignment with the
combination square.
NOTE: Make only slight adjustment to the screw,
Then rotate the saw arm back to 0°. Check blade with
square. Repeat this process until the blade is squared
to the table.
m. After you have the blade squared to the table,
tighten the lock nut that holds the positive stop
adjustment screw.
n. Rotate the saw blade arm back to 0° on the bevel
scale, then tighten the bevel lock handle. Repeat
steps j through n for 45° stop (see Fig. O).
THROAT PLATE SLOT
For your convenience the slot in the zero clearance
throat plate has been pre-cut at the factory to allow
complete blade clearance at any angle between
0°and 45°.
PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory
and under normal circumstances do not require
readjustment.
RK7135 psm254mu 060602.indd 11 2006-7-19 17:15:39

14A COMPOUND MITER SAW ENG
12
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
Your saw arm should rise completely to the up
position by itself. To avoid risk of personal injury, if
your saw arm does not rise by itself or if there is play
in the pivot joints, have your saw serviced by qualified
person.
BEVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
Your compound miter saw arm should bevel easily by
loosening the bevel lock knob (22) and tilting the saw
arm to the left.
9. TO REPLACE SAW BLADE (See Fig P,Q,R,S)
WARNING: A 10” blade is the maximum blade
capacity of your saw. A larger than 10” blade will
come in contact with the blade guards. Also, never
use a blade that is so thick that it prevents the outer
blade washer from engaging with the flat side of the
spindle. Blades that are too large or too thick can
result in an accident causing serious personal injury.
a. Unplug the saw.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always
disconnect the plug from power source before
assembling parts, making adjustments or changing
blades.
b. Push down on saw arm and pull out the lock pin to
release saw arm.
c. Raise saw arm to its full raised position. Be
cautious because saw arm is spring loaded.
d. Loosen the Phillips screw on the blade bolt cover
until blade bolt cover can be raised.
e. Gently raise the lower blade guard bracket to
release the lower blade guard from the notch. This
will allow the lower blade guard and the blade bolt
cover to be rotated up and back to expose the blade
bolt.
f. Rotate the lower blade guard and the
blade bolt cover up and back to expose the blade bolt.
g. Press the spindle lock button and rotate the blade
bolt until the spindle locks.
h. Use the blade wrench (included) to loosen and
remove the blade bolt. Turn the blade bolt clockwise
to loosen. DO NOT remove the inner blade washer.
i. Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner blade washer and
the outer blade washer where they come in contact
with the blade.
WARNING: If the inner blade washer has been
removed, replace it BEFORE placing blade on the
spindle. Failure to do so could cause an accident
because the blade will not tighten properly.
j. Fit the saw blade inside the lower blade guard and
onto the inner blade washer. The blade teeth should
point downward at the front of the saw.
CAUTION: ALWAYS install the blade with the blade
teeth and the arrow printed on the side of the blade
pointing down at the front of the saw. The direction of
blade rotation is also stamped with an arrow on the
upper blade guard.
k. Replace the outer blade washer.
The Double “D” flats on the blade washers align with
the flats on the spindle.
l. Press the spindle lock button and replace blade
bolt.
m. Tighten the blade bolt securely by turning it
counter-clockwise with the blade wrench.
n. Replace the lower blade guard and the blade bolt
cover.
o. Securely re-tighten the Phillips screw that
secures the blade bolt cover.
WARNING: To prevent damage to the spindle
lock, always allow the motor to come to a complete
stop before engaging the spindle lock. Always
make sure the spindle lock is disengaged before
reconnecting saw to the power source. Your
compound miter saw has been adjusted at the
factory for making very accurate cuts. However,
some of the components may have been jarred out
of alignment during shipping. Also over a period
of time, some readjustment will probably become
necessary due to wear. After unpacking your saw,
check the following adjustments BEFORE using your
saw. Make any adjustments that are necessary and
periodically check the parts alignment to be sure
that your saw is cutting accurately. Your saw should
never be connected to a power source when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or
removing blades, or when not in use. Disconnecting
your saw will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious injury.
10. CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND Miter SAW
Only use your compound miter saw for the purposes
listed below:
-Crosscutting wood and plastic
-Crosscutting miters, joints, etc., for picture frames,
moldings, door casings, and fine joinery
NOTE: The blade included with this saw is ideal for a
wide variety of wood cutting operations.
WARNING: Before starting any cutting operation,
clamp or bolt your compound miter saw to a work

bench. Never operate your miter saw on the floor or
in a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning
could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: When using a hold-down clamp to
secure the work-piece, clamp work-piece on one side
of the blade only. The work-piece MUST remain free
on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from
binding in the work-piece. The work-piece binding
the blade will cause the motor to stall and cause
kickback, resulting in possible serious personal
injury.
CROSS CUTTING (See Fig G,H,I)
A crosscut is a cut made across the grain of the work-
piece. A straight crosscut is a cut made with the miter
table set in the 0º position. Miter crosscuts are made
with the miter table set at some angle other than zero.
TO CROSSCUT WITH YOUR Miter SAW:
a. Unplug the saw.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always
disconnect the plug from power source before
assembling parts, making adjustments or changing
blades.
b. Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw arm to its full
height.
c. Loosen (unscrew) the Miter Lock Handle
approximately one-half turn.
d. Press miter lock plate down with your thumb and
hold.
e. Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns
with the desired angle on the miter scale.
f. Release the miter lock plate.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° left or
right, and 45º left or right by releasing the lock plate
as you rotate the control arm. The lock plate will seat
itself in one of the positive stop notches, located in
the miter table frame.
g. Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
ALWAYS tighten the miter lock handle securely
BEFORE making a cut. Failure to do so could result in
movement of the control arm or miter table while
making a cut.
h. Place work-piece flat on the miter table with
one edge securely against the fence. If the board is
warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the
concave edge of the board is against the fence, the
board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut
and jam the blade.
i. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the opposite end of the stock with a roller
stand or with another work surface that is level with
the saw table.
j. Align cutting line on the work-piece with the edge
on the saw blade.
k. Hold the stock firmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the hold-down clamp to secure
the work-piece when possible.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
ALWAYS keep your hands outside the “no hands
zone”(red lines); at least 6” from blade. Also, NEVER
perform any cutting operation “freehand” (i.e.
without holding work-piece against the fence); the
blade could grab the work-piece, causing it to slip
and twist.
l. BEFORE turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation just to make sure that no problems
will occur when the cut is made.
m. Hold the saw handle firmly, when squeezing the
trigger switch. Allow several seconds for the blade to
reach maximum speed.
n. Slowly lower the blade into and through the work-
piece.
o. Release the trigger switch and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating BEFORE raising the blade out of
the work-piece. Wait until the electric brake stops the
blade from turning BEFORE removing the work-piece
from the miter table.
11. BEVEL CUTTING (See Fig J,K,L)
A bevel cut is a cut made across the grain of the work-
piece with the blade at an angle to the work-piece.
A straight bevel cut is made with the miter table set in
the 0º position and the blade set at an angle between
0º and 45º.
TO BEVEL CUT WITH YOUR Miter SAW
a. Unplug the saw.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, ALWAYS
disconnect the plug from power source BEFORE
assembling parts, making adjustments or changing
blades.
b. Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw arm to its full
height.
c. Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter
lock handle approximately one-half turn to the left to
loosen.
d. Press down on miter lock plate to disengage.
e. Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns

with zero on the miter scale.
f. Release the miter lock plate.
g. Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0° by releasing the lock
plate as you rotate the control arm. The lock plate will
seat itself in one of the positive stop notches, located
in the miter table frame.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
ALWAYS tighten the miter lock handle securely
BEFORE making a cut. Failure to do so could result in
movement of the control arm or miter table while
making a cut.
h. Loosen the bevel lock knob (22) and move the
saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle. Bevel
angles can be set from 0°to 45°. The 45° triangle
on the miter fence (6) provides for the maximum
clearance required for adjusting the miter saw angle
when making a bevel or compound cut.
i. Align the indicator point with the desired angle.
j. Once the saw arm has been set at the desired
angle, securely tighten the bevel lock knob.
k. Place work-piece flat on the miter table with
one edge securely against the fence. If the board is
warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the
concave edge of the board is against the fence, the
board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut
and jam the blade.
l. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the work-piece with a roller stand or other
support to bring the work-piece level with the saw
table.
m. Align cutting line on the work-piece with the edge
on the saw blade.
n. Hold the stock firmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence. Use the hold-down clamp to secure
the work-piece when possible.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
ALWAYS keep your hands outside the “no hands
zone”(red lines); at least 6” from blade. Also, NEVER
perform any cutting operation “freehand” (i.e.
without holding work-piece against the fence); the
blade could grab the work-piece, causing it to slip
and twist.
o. MAKE SURE that there will be no obstructions to
interfere with making the cut.
p. Hold the saw handle firmly when squeezing the
trigger switch. Allow several seconds for the blade to
reach maximum speed.
q. Slowly lower the blade into and through the work-
piece.
r. Release the trigger switch and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating BEFORE raising the blade out of
the work-piece. Wait until the electric brake stops the
blade from turning BEFORE removing the work-piece
from the miter table.
12. COMPOUND Miter CUTTING
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 for moldings, picture frames, and boxes
with sloping sides.
To make this type of cut the control arm on the miter
table must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw
arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle.
ALWAYS take special care when making compound
miter setups due to the interaction of the two angle
settings.
Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are
dependent on one another. Each time you adjust
the miter setting, you change the effect of the bevel
setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting,
you change the effect of the miter setting. 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. Once the two correct settings for a
particular cut have been obtained, ALWAYS make a
test cut in scrap material BEFORE making a finish cut
in good material.
TO MAKE A COMPOUND Miter CUT WITH YOUR MITER
SAW (See Fig L)
a. Unplug the saw.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, ALWAYS
disconnect the plug from power source BEFORE
assembling parts, making adjustments or changing
blades.
b. Pull out the lock pin (16) and lift the saw arm to its
full height.
c. Loosen the miter lock handle (10). Rotate the miter
lock handle approximately one-half turn to the left to
loosen.
d. Lift miter lock plate (9) to disengage.
e. Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns
with the desired angle on the miter scale.
f. Release the miter lock plate.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45°
left or right by releasing the miter lock plate as you
rotate the control arm. The miter lock plate will seat
itself in one of the positive stop notches, located in

the miter table frame.
g. Tighten the miter lock handle securely.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
ALWAYS tighten the miter lock handle securely
BEFORE making a cut. Failure to do so could result in
movement of the control arm or miter table while
making a cut. The 45° triangle on the miter fence
provides for the maximum clearance required for
adjusting the miter saw angle when making a bevel or
compound cut.
h. Loosen the bevel lock knob (22) and move the
saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle. Bevel
angles can be set from 0° to 45°.
i. Align the indicator point with the desired angle.
j. Once the saw arm has been set at the desired
angle, securely tighten the bevel lock knob.
k. Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.
l. Place work-piece flat on the miter table with
one edge securely against the fence. If the board is
warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the
concave edge of the board is against the fence, the
board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut
and jam the blade.
m. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding,
support the work-piece with a roller stand or other
support to bring the work-piece level with the saw
table.
n. Align cutting line on the work-piece with the edge
on the saw blade.
o. Hold the stock firmly with one hand
and secure it against the fence. Use the hold-down
clamp to secure the work-piece when possible.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
ALWAYS keep your hands outside the “no hands
zone”(red lines); at least 6” (150mm) from blade. Also,
NEVER perform any cutting operation “freehand” (i.e.
without holding work-piece against the fence); the
blade could grab the work-piece, causing it to slip
and twist.
p. MAKE SURE that there will be no obstructions to
interfere with making the cut.
q. Hold the saw handle firmly, when squeezing the
trigger switch. Allow several seconds for the blade to
reach maximum speed.
r. Slowly lower the blade into and through the work-
piece.
s. Release the trigger switch and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating BEFORE raising the blade out of the
work-piece. Wait until the electric brake stops the
blade from turning BEFORE removing the work-piece
from the miter table.
13. SUPPORT LONG WORK-PIECES
Long work-pieces require extra supports. The
supports should be placed along the work-piece so
it does not sag. The support should allow the work-
piece to lay flat on the base of the saw and work-table
during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp to
secure the work-piece.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
ALWAYS keep your hands outside the “no hands
zone”(red lines); at least 6” from blade. Also, NEVER
perform any cutting operation “freehand” (i.e.
without holding work-piece against the fence); the
blade could grab the work-piece, causing it to slip
and twist.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
COMPOUND MITER SAW
1. CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
When cutting warped material, always make sure
that it is positioned on the miter table with the convex
side against the fence. If the warped material is
positioned the wrong way, it will pinch the blade near
the end of the cut.
CAUTION: To avoid kickback and to avoid serious
personal injury, NEVER position the concave edge of a
bowed or warped material against the fence.
CLAMPING WIDE WORK-PIECE
When cutting wide work-pieces (such as 2”x 6”
(50x150mm) boards), the boards should always be
clamped with a hold-down clamp.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords
periodically and if damaged, have repaired by
authorized service facility.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts
in your power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with
a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry
place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all
working controls free of dust. If you see some sparks

INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
¡CUIDADO! Lea y comprenda todas
las instrucciones. El no seguir todas las
instrucciones a continuación puede dar lugar
a descargas eléctricas, incendios y/o daños
corporales serios.
CONSERVE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES
1. ÁREA DE TRABAJO
- MANTENGA SU LUGAR DE TRABAJO LIMPIO Y BIEN
ILUMINADO. Bancos de trabajo desordenados y
lugares oscuros invitan a los accidentes.
- NO UTILICE HERRAMIENTAS ELÉCTRICAS EN
ATMÓSFERAS EXPLOSIVAS, COMO POR EJEMPLO EN
PRESENCIA DE LÍQUIDOS INFLAMABLES, GASES O
POLVO. Las herramientas eléctricas crean chispas
que pueden encender el polvo o los vapores.
- MANTENGA A LOS ESPECTADORES, NIÑOS Y
VISITANTES A UNA DISTANCIA PRUDENTE CUANDO
ESTÉ UTILIZANDO UNA HERRAMIENTA ELÉCTRICA. Las
distracciones pueden hacerle perder el control.
- HAGA SU TALLER A PRUEBA DE NIÑOS CON CANDADOS,
interruptores maestros o quitando las llaves de
encendido.
- NUNCA DEJE UNA HERRAMIENTA FUNCIONANDO
DESATENDIDA. Desconéctela siempre. No se separe
de la herramienta hasta que se haya detenido por
completo.
- PROTEJA SU HERRAMIENTA CUANDO NO LA USE.
Cuando no la utilice, manténgala guardada en un
lugar seco y seguro, lejos del alcance de los niños.
2. SEGURIDAD ELÉCTRICA
- LAS HERRAMIENTAS CON DOBLE AISLAMIENTO ESTÁN
EQUIPADAS CON UN ENCHUFE POLARIZADO (UNA PATA
ES MÁS ANCHA QUE LA OTRA). ESTE ENCHUFE ENTRARÁ
EN UN TOMACORRIENTE POLARIZADO SOLAMENTE
DE UNA MANERA. SI EL ENCHUFE NO ENTRA POR
COMPLETO EN EL TOMACORRIENTE, DÉLO VUELTA.
SI SIGUE SIN ENTRAR, PÓNGASE EN CONTACTO CON
UN ELECTRICISTA COMPETENTE PARA INSTALAR UN
TOMACORRIENTE POLARIZADO. NO HAGA NINGÚN
TIPO DE CAMBIO EN EL ENCHUFE. El doble aislamiento
elimina la necesidad del sistema de cable de
tres hilos conectado a tierra y el tomacorriente
conectado a tierra. Antes de enchufar la
herramienta, asegúrese de que la tensión
suministrada por el tomacorriente se encuentre
dentro del margen de tensión especificada en
la placa del fabricante. No utilice herramientas
marcadas “CA solamente” (“AC only”) con una
fuente de energía de CC (DC).
- EVITE EL CONTACTO DEL CUERPO CON LAS
SUPERFICIES CONECTADAS A TIERRA TALES COMO
TUBERÍAS, RADIADORES, ESTUFAS DE COCINA Y
REFRIGERADORES. Existe mayor riesgo de que se
produzcan descargas eléctricas si su cuerpo
está conectado a tierra. Si la utilización de la
herramienta eléctrica en lugares húmedos es
inevitable, se debe usar un interruptor de circuito
por fallas a tierra (GFCI) para suministrar energía
a la herramienta. Guantes de goma y calzado
para electricista aumentarán más su seguridad
personal.
- NO EXPONGA LAS HERRAMIENTAS ELÉCTRICAS A
LA LLUVIA NI A LOS AMBIENTES HÚMEDOS. La
entrada de agua en una herramienta eléctrica
aumenta el riesgo de que se produzcan
descargas eléctricas.
- NO ABUSE DEL CABLE. Nunca use el cable para
transportar las herramientas ni para sacar el
enchufe de un tomacorriente. Mantenga el cable
alejado del calor, el aceite, los bordes afilados o
las piezas móviles. Cambie los cables dañados
inmediatamente. Los cables dañados aumentan el
riesgo de que se produzcan descargas eléctricas.
- AL UTILIZAR UNA HERRAMIENTA ELÉCTRICA A LA
INTEMPERIE, UTILICE UN CABLE DE EXTENSIÓN PARA
INTEMPERIE MARCADO “W-A” O “W”. Estos cordones
tienen capacidad nominal para uso a la intemperie
y reducen el riesgo de que se produzcan descargas
eléctricas.
RK7135 psm254mu 060602.indd 18 2006-7-19 17:15:42

19
14A SIERRA DE INGLETES COMPUESTA ESP
- LAS HERRAMIENTAS CONECTADAS A TIERRA DEBEN
ESTAR ENCHUFADAS EN UN TOMACORRIENTE QUE ESTÉ
INSTALADO CORRECTAMENTE Y CONECTADO A TIERRA
DE ACUERDO CON TODOS LOS CÓDIGOS Y ORDENANZAS
VIGENTES. Nunca saque la pata de conexión a tierra
o modifique el enchufe de ninguna manera. No use
enchufes adaptadores. Consulte a un electricista
capacitado si tiene dudas para asegurar que el
tomacorriente esté correctamente conectado a
tierra. Si las herramientas sufren fallas eléctricas,
la conexión a tierra proporciona una trayectoria
de baja resistencia para que el usuario no quede
expuesto a la electricidad.
3. SEGURIDAD PERSONAL
- MANTÉNGASE ALERTA, FÍJESE EN LO QUE ESTÁ
HACIENDO Y USE EL SENTIDO COMÚN CUANDO
UTILICE UNA HERRAMIENTA ELÉCTRICA. NO USE
LA HERRAMIENTA CUANDO ESTÉ CANSADO O SE
ENCUENTRE BAJO LA INFLUENCIA DE DROGAS, ALCOHOL
O MEDICAMENTOS. Un momento de distracción al
utilizar herramientas eléctricas puede dar lugar a
lesiones personales graves.
- VÍSTASE APROPIADAMENTE. NO SE PONGA ROPA
HOLGADA NI JOYAS. RECÓJASE EL CABELLO LARGO.
MANTENGA SU CABELLO, ROPA Y GUANTES ALEJADOS DE
LAS PIEZAS MÓVILES. La ropa holgada, las joyas o el
pelo largo pueden quedar atrapados en las piezas
móviles. Mantenga los mangos secos, limpios y
libres de aceite y grasa. Se recomiendan guantes
de caucho y calzado antideslizante cuando se
trabaja a la intemperie.
- EVITE EL ARRANQUE ACCIDENTAL. ASEGÚRESE DE
QUE EL INTERRUPTOR ESTÉ EN LA POSICIÓN “OFF”
(APAGADO) ANTES DE ENCHUFAR LA HERRAMIENTA.
El llevar las herramientas con el dedo en el
interruptor o el enchufar herramientas que tengan
el interruptor en la posición “ON” (encendido)
invita a que se produzcan accidentes. No utilice
la herramienta si tiene el interruptor dañado
y éste no enciende ni apaga la herramienta
correctamente.
- RETIRE TODAS LAS LLAVES Y CALIBRADORES.
Hágase el hábito de verificar que todas las llaves,
calibradores, etc. hayan sido removidos de la
herramienta antes de operarla.
- NO INTENTE ALCANZAR DEMASIADO LEJOS.
MANTENGA UN APOYO DE LOS PIES Y UN EQUILIBRIO
ADECUADOS EN TODO MOMENTO. El apoyo de los
pies y el equilibrio adecuados permiten un
mejor control de la herramienta en situaciones
inesperadas.
- UTILICE EQUIPO DE SEGURIDAD. USE SIEMPRE
PROTECCIÓN OCULAR. Se debe utilizar una máscara
antipolvo, zapatos de seguridad antideslizantes,
casco o protección auditiva según lo requieran las
condiciones.
- MANTENGA LAS CUBIERTAS DE PROTECCIÓN Y
FUNCIONANDO.
- NO SE SUBA EN LA HERRAMIENTA NI EN SU BASE. Se
pueden producir lesiones graves si la herramienta
se vuelca o si se toca la herramienta de corte
accidentalmente.
- MANTENGA LAS MANOS RETIRADAS DE BORDES
CORTANTES Y PARTES EN MOVIMIENTO.
- SI SE PROPORCIONAN DISPOSITIVOS PARA LA
EXTRACCIÓN Y RECOLECCIÓN DE POLVO, ASEGÚRESE
QUE ESTOS ESTÉN CONECTADOS Y UTILIZADOS
CORRECTAMENTE. El uso de estos dispositivos
puede reducir peligros relacionados con el polvo.
4. USO Y CUIDADO DE LA HERRAMIENTA
- UTILICE ABRAZADERAS U OTRO MODO PRÁCTICO DE
ASEGURAR Y APOYAR EL MATERIAL DE TRABAJO SOBRE
UNA PLATAFORMA ESTABLE. Sostener el material de
trabajo en la mano o contra su cuerpo es inestable
y puede conducir a la pérdida de control.
- NO FUERCE LA HERRAMIENTA. EMPLEE LA
HERRAMIENTA CORRECTA PARA LA APLICACIÓN QUE
DESEA. La herramienta correcta hará el trabajo
mejor y con más seguridad a la capacidad nominal
para la que está diseñada. Forzándola solamente
causará fatiga al operario, mayor desgaste y menor
control.
- NO UTILICE LA HERRAMIENTA SI EL INTERRUPTOR NO
LA ENCIENDE O APAGA. Toda herramienta que no se
pueda controlar con el interruptor es peligrosa y
debe ser reparada.
- DESCONECTE EL ENCHUFE DE LA FUENTE DE
ALIMENTACIÓN ANTES DE HACER CUALQUIER AJUSTE,
CAMBIAR ACCESORIOS O GUARDAR LA HERRAMIENTA.
Estas medidas de seguridad preventivas
reducen el riesgo de encender la herramienta
accidentalmente.
- GUARDE LAS HERRAMIENTAS QUE NO ESTÉ USANDO
FUERA DEL ALCANCE DE LOS NIÑOS Y OTRAS PERSONAS
NO CAPACITADAS. Las herramientas son peligrosas
en las manos de los usuarios no capacitados.
- MANTENGA LAS HERRAMIENTAS CON CUIDADO.
CONSERVE LAS HERRAMIENTAS DE CORTE AFILADAS
Y LIMPIAS. Las herramientas mantenidas
adecuadamente, con bordes de corte afilados,
RK7135 psm254mu 060602.indd 19 2006-7-19 17:15:42

14A SIERRA DE INGLETES COMPUESTA ESP

tienen menos probabilidades de atascarse y
son más fáciles de controlar. Toda alteración o
modificación constituye un uso incorrecto y puede
tener como resultado una situación peligrosa.
- COMPRUEBE LA DESALINEACIÓN O EL ATASCO DE
LAS PIEZAS MÓVILES, LA RUPTURA DE PIEZAS Y
CUALQUIER OTRA SITUACIÓN QUE PUEDA AFECTAR
EL FUNCIONAMIENTO DE LAS HERRAMIENTAS. SI LA
HERRAMIENTA ESTÁ DAÑADA, HÁGALA ARREGLAR
ANTES DE USARLA. Muchos accidentes son
causados por herramientas mantenidas
deficientemente. Establezca un programa de
mantenimiento periódico para la herramienta.
- UTILICE ÚNICAMENTE ACCESORIOS QUE ESTÉN
RECOMENDADOS POR EL FABRICANTE DE SU MODELO.
Los accesorios que pueden ser adecuados para
una herramienta pueden volverse peligrosos
cuando se utilizan en otra herramienta.
- UTILICE LA HERRAMIENTA ADECUADA. No utilice una
herramienta o accesorio para hacer trabajos para
los que no está diseñada ni recomendada.
- DIRECCIÓN DE ALIMENTACIÓN. Alimente el trabajo
hacia la hoja o cuchilla únicamente contra la
dirección de rotación de la hoja o la cuchilla.
- EL POLVO GENERADO POR CIERTAS MADERAS Y
PRODUCTOS DE MADERA PUEDE SER PERJUDICIAL PARA
SU SALUD. Siempre opere la máquina en áreas bien
ventiladas y proporcione adecuada remoción de
polvo. Utilice sistemas de recolección de polvo de
madera siempre que sea posible.
5. REPARACIÓN
- LA REPARACIÓN DE UNA HERRAMIENTA DEBE SER
REALIZADA ÚNICAMENTE POR PERSONAL COMPETENTE.
La reparación o mantenimiento realizado por
personal no competente podría ocasionar peligro
de que se produzcan lesiones.
- AL REPARAR UNA HERRAMIENTA, UTILICE
ÚNICAMENTE PIEZAS DE REPUESTO IDÉNTICAS. SIGA
LAS INSTRUCCIONES QUE APARECEN EN LA SECCIÓN
MANTENIMIENTO DE ESTE MANUAL. El uso de piezas
no autorizadas o el incumplimiento de las
instrucciones de Mantenimiento pueden ocasionar
peligro de que se produzcan descargas eléctricas
