Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
7. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing. 8. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation. 9. Always secure all moving portions before carrying the tool. 10. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is for carrying and storage purposes only and not for any cutting operations. 11. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. 12. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation.
INJURY as shown in the figure. ALWAYS use vise to secure workpiece. 30. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp objects. 31. NEVER stack workpieces on the table top to speed cutting operations. Cut only one piece at a time. 32. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
INSTALLATION Bench mounting 001564 When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the lowered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper pin by lowering the handle slightly and pulling the stopper pin. 1 1. Stopper pin 001531 This tool should be bolted with four bolts to a level and stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury. 1 1. Bolt FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION • 002016 1 1.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard. 1 If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through the guard is impaired, use the supplied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover.

be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a complete stop. 001549 1 2 CAUTION: • When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are as high as the top surface level of the turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK. 1. Support 2.
001548 2 3 1 4 The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the guide fence or the base. Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence or the base and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod. 5 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Vertical vise Vise arm Vise rod Screw Clamp screw Guide fence Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the screw.
• 001544 CAUTION: Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can result in PERSONAL INJURY. Holders The holders can be installed on either side as a convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
002022 1 1. Knob 1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces) Workpieces up to 91 mm (3 - 5/8”) high and 70 mm (2 3/4”) wide can be cut in the following way. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and tighten the knob clockwise to secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece.
• Never loosen the knob which secures the carriage while the blade is rotating. This may cause serious injury. 3. Miter cutting Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter angle”. 002024 4. Bevel cut Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the bevel angle”). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
Miter angle Left 0˚ - 47˚, Right 0˚ - 45˚ Right 52˚ Bevel angle Left and Right 0˚ - 45˚ Left 0˚ - 40˚ and Right 0˚ - 45˚ When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cutting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations. 6. Cutting crown and cove moldings Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound miter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base.
