with either the travel of the blade or the part of the
workpiece which will be, or has been, cut by the blade.
Set
The distance that the tip of the sawbfade tooth is bent
(or set) outward from the face of the blade.

WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRICAL HAZARDS,
FIRE HAZARDS, OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL, USE
PROPER CIRCUIT PROTECTION. YOUR SAW IS
WIRED AT THE FACTORY FOR 120V OPERATION.
CONNECT TO A 120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT
AND USE A 15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT
BREAKER. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF POWER
CORD IS WORN OR CUT_ OR DAMAGED IN ANY
WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY°
DOUBLE INSULATED
The miter saw is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insulation between you and the tool's elec-
trical system, Ati exposed metal parts are isolated from
the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation,
Your unit has a pfug that looks like the one shown below
This power tool is equipped with a 2-conductor cord
listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The plug
permits you to use any conventional 120-vott electrical
outlet without necessity for maintaining a ground
connection
CAUTION: Double insulation does not take the
place of normal safety precautions when operating
this tool.
DANGER: To avoid electrocution:
1 Use only identical replacement parts when servicing
a tool with double insulation, Servicing should be
performed by a qualified service technician.
2 Do not use in rain or where floor is wet,.
This roof is intended for indoor residential use ontyo
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
CAUTION: To avoid motor damage, this motor
should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to
keep sawdust from interfering with normal motor
ventilation.
t Connect this tool to a t20V, 15-amp branch circuit
With a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker,
Using the wrong size fuse can damage the motor°
2, If the motor won't start, release the trigger switch
immediately UNPLUG THE TOOL, Check the saw
blade to make sure it turns freely If the blade is free,
try to start the motor again If the motor still does
not start, refer to the "Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart_"
3, If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, re-
lease the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and free
the blade from the wood The motor may now be
restarted and the cut finished
4. Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip fre-
quently if:
a MOTOR IS OVERLOADED--Overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or make too many
start/stops in a short time.
b Voltages not more than t0% above or below the
nameplate voltage can handle normal loads. For
heavy loads, however, the voltage at motor
terminals must equal the voltage specified on
nameplate
5 Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor-
rect connections, overload, low voltage (such as
small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long
supply circuit wire. Always check the connections,
