manual abstract
After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax. ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY TOOLS REQUIRED (Supplied) * 5mm hex wrench * 1/2” Blade wrench (Not supplied) * Phillips head screw driver * A square to make adjustments 8 For your own safety, do not connect the machine to the power source until the machine is completely assembled and you read and understand the entire instruction manual. Fig. 4 A DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE! ATTACHING THE TABLE LOCK HANDLE B A Fig. 2 Thread the table lock handle (A) Fig. 2 into the threaded hole (B) of the arm bracket. ROTATING THE TABLE TO THE 90° DEGREE POSITION Fig. 3 AB 1. Turn the table lock handle (A) Fig. 3 counter-clockwise one or two turns, and depress the index lever (B) to release the 45° positive stop. 2. Rotate the table to the left until the index stop engages with the 90° positive stop (Fig. 4). Tighten the table lock handle (A). 9 MOVING CUTTINGHEAD TO THE UP POSITION 1. Push down on handle (A), Inset, Fig. 5. Pull out the cuttinghead lock knob (B). 2. Move the cuttinghead (C) to the up position (Fig. 6). Fig. 5 Fig. 6 A B C ATTACHING THE DUST BAG Squeeze the spring clips (A) Fig. 7 of the dust bag (B) and clip the dust bag (B) over the ribs of the dust chute. Fig. 7 A B FASTENING THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE Before operating your compound miter saw, make sure that it is firmly mounted to a sturdy workbench or other supporting surface. Four holes are provided, two of which are shown at (A) Fig. 8. When frequently moving the saw from place to place, mount the saw on a 3/4" piece of plywood, and clamp the plywood to a supporting surface with “C” clamps. A Fig. 8 10 OPERATION OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS TABLE HAZARD AREA The area inside the two red lines on the table (A) Fig. 9 is designated as a "HAZARD ZONE". Never place your hands inside this area while the machine is running. Maintain hands 6” from blade. A B Fig. 9 USING THE OPTIONAL WORK CLAMP 1. An optional work clamp (A) Fig. 10 is available. Use this accessory clamp, especially with short workpieces. Never allow your hands to be in the “Hazard Zone”. 2. Two holes (B) Fig. 9 are provided in the base of the miter saw, enabling you to use the clamp (A) Fig.10 on either the right or left hand side of the saw blade. Keep your hands out of path of saw blade. If necessary, clamp the workpiece in place before making the cut if hands would be within 6” of the blade. A Fig. 10 STARTING AND STOPPING THE MITER SAW To start the miter saw, depress the switch trigger (A) Fig. 11 To stop the miter saw, release the switch trigger. This saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake. As soon as the switch trigger (A) Fig. 11, is released, the electric brake is activated and stops the blade in seconds. A turning saw blade can be dangerous. After completing cut, release switch trigger (A) Fig. 11, to activate blade brake. Keep cuttinghead down until blade has come to a complete stop. The torque developed during braking may loosen the arbor screw (E) Fig. 45. The arbor screw should be checked periodically and tightened if necessary. LOCKING THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION IMPORTANT: When the miter saw is not in use, the switch should be locked in the "OFF" position using a padlock (B) Fig. 12, with a 3/16" diameter shackle to prevent unauthorized use of the saw. Fig. 11 Fig. 12 A B 11 ROTATING THE TABLE FOR MITER CUTTING Your miter saw will cut any angle from a straight 90° cut to 47° right and left. Turn the lock handle (A) Fig. 13 counter-clockwise one or two turns, depress the index lever (B), and move the control arm to the desired angle. Tighten the lock handle (A). The miter saw is equipped with positive stops at the 0°, 22.5°, 31.62°, and 45° right and left positions. Loosen the lock handle (A) Fig. 14 and move the control arm until the bottom of the index lever (B) engages into one of the positive stops, four of which are shown at (C). Tighten the lock handle (A). To disengage the positive stop, depress the index lever (B). A triangle indicator (D) Fig. 15 is provided on the miter scale at the 31.62° right and left miter positions for cutting crown moulding. (Refer to the “CUTTING CROWN MOULDING” section of this manual). IMPORTANT: Always tighten the lock handle (A) Fig. 14 before cutting. ADJUSTING THE POINTER To transport the saw, always lock the cuttinghead in the down position. Lower the cuttinghead (A) Fig.17, and push the cuttinghead lock knob (B) into the hole in the cutting arm until it locks the cuttinghead. IMPORTANT: Carrying the machine by the switch handle will cause misalignment. Always lift the machine by the base or by the carrying handle (See Fig. 20). POINTER AND SCALE The pointer (E) Fig. 15 indicates the angle of cut. Each line on the scale (F) represents 1 degree. When you move the pointer from one line to the next on the scale, you change the angle of cut by 1 degree. Fig. 13 Fig. 14 C B A A Fig. 15 F D E To adjust the pointer (E) F...
