Page 5: Extension Cords
eXtenSion CorDS grounded tools require a three wire extension cord Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size. guidelines for using extension Cords • If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use. • Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. • Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

- Page 11 To Change the Blade FIG 6 1. Unplug the saw 2. Loosen the Phillips screw (1) on the blade bolt cover (2). 3. Lift up the lower blade guard (3) and the blade bolt cover(2) to expose the blade bolt. 4. Depress the spindle lock button (7) and rotate the blade until the spindle locks. 5. Using the Allen Wrench (4) provided, loosen the blade bolt (5) by turning it clockwise. Remove the blade bolt. 6. Remove the outer blade flange (6). 7. Remove the old blade off the saw. note: A blade washer may be use for the blade with arbor hole bigger than 5/8 inch. FIG 7 8. Mount the new blade carefully onto the spindle, being sure that the directional arrow on the blade surface matches the arrow on the upper blade guard. 9. Replace the outer blade flange and the blade bolt. 10. Depress and hold down the spindle lock button while tightening the blade locking bolt securely with the provided wrench in a counterclockwise direction.
- Page 12 (1). Clockwise rotation will raise the depth of cut; counterclockwise rotation will lower the depth of cut. 4. As you lower the saw blade, rotate the blade to be sure it does not contact the machine’s metal surfaces and will allow through cutting of work pieces resting against the fence. 5. Re-tighten the jamb nut while holding the adjustment bolt in place. 6. Before each use of the miter saw, with the saw unplugged, lower the blade and rotate it by hand to confirm the blade does not contact the miter saw surfaces Auxiliary Depth Control Assembly note This is useful for performing dado cuts or to create lap joints. You will need to experiment and make several test cuts until you determine the proper depth of cut. We suggest you practice on scrap wood with the same thickness dimensions before you start cutting your project wood. This unique design allows the operator to quickly engage or disengage the depth control assembly. It simply rotates on the Depth control bolt. 1. Locate the Auxiliary Depth Control Assembly (3+4) on the saw arm and on the left side of the dust port. 2. If the saw arm is locked in the down position, release it by pulling the saw arm lock knob out. 3. Rotate the Cutting Depth Stop Plate (5) to the left position. 4. Loosen the jamb nut (4) counter –clockwise several turns. 5. Use a 5mm Allen wrench to turn the Auxiliary Depth Control bolt (3). Clockwise will decrease the amount of travel and depth of cut, counter-clockwise will increase the amount of travel and depth of cut. 6. Lower the saw arm completely. The Auxiliary Depth Control Bolt will contact the Cutting Depth Stop Plate (5). Check if it is the cutting depth desired. If not, repeat step 5. 7. Once you have reached the desired cutting depth, tighten the jamb nut (4) while holding the Auxiliary Depth Control bolt in place. 8. To disable the Auxiliary Depth Control, rotate the cutting depth stop plate (5) back to the position on the right. 12" Sliding Compound Miter Saw Operator’s Manual GMSDB1512L...

Page 17: Miter Crosscutting
Regardless of the type of cut being performed with your compound miter saw the following basic set-up steps are used, unless specified otherwise. 1. Check and confirm the cutting arm (bevel position) and the rotating table (miter position) are at the correct settings and the related adjustment handles are firmly locked in place. 2. Mark the position of desired cut onto the work piece surface to ensure proper blade and laser alignment. 3. Place the work piece on the saw table, align the blade and/or laser light with the cut line, then position it firmly against the fence and hold or clamp it firmly in place. If using a hand to hold the work piece in place, be sure it is outside the “Hazard Zone”. Never attempt freehand cutting or cutting a workpiece not firmly held against the fence or table! 4. Turn on the saw, allowing the blade to reach full speed. Lower the cutting head slowly into the workpiece and perform the cut at a steady rate. 5. When the cut is completed, release the switch trigger and allow the blade to completely stop rotating before raising the blade and cutting head out of the completed cut. MITER CROSSCUTTING Crosscuts are cuts made across the grain of the work piece, with a straight cut being made with the both the blade bevel and miter table set at 0°. A miter crosscut is made when the miter table is set at some angle other then 0°. 1. Measure and mark the work piece with the desired cut line. Mark the work piece on each side of the cut line indicating which side is the scrap or off cut and which the desired finished piece is. 2. Unlock the rotating miter table loosening the miter locking knob. 3. Use the miter handle to rotate the table, left or right, to the desired cutting angle. Then tighten the miter lock knob. 4. Place the work piece onto the saw table and against the fence. Turn on the laser light source. 5. Move the work piece left or right to align the cut line with the saw blade and laser light. Then secure the work piece in place, holding it either by hand for large pieces or via clamping device for small pieces. 6. After confirming the saw settings and that the work piece is secured, turn on the saw and make the cut. BEVEL CUTTING A bevel cut is made by cutting across the work piece grain with the blade angled or tilted to the work piece. When making a straight bevel cut, the miter table is set at the 0° position and the blade angled and set at a position between 0° and 45° left or right. -

Therefore, be prepared to make numerous practice cuts with scrap molding to help fine tune your saw settings. for cutting crown molding flat for the corner other then 90°, please refer to Crown Molding Miter Angles chart. Cutting Crown Molding Vertically Nested Against Miter Fence (FIG 29 ) Always use a crown molding fence when cutting crown molding angled against the fence. Cutting crown molding angled against the fence does not require any special bevel settings. Small changes in the miter angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. When using this method the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for corners that are not 90° (square).

Page 22: Maintenance
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air. LUBRICATION This tool is permanently lubricated at the factory and requires no additional lubrication. 12" Sliding Compound Miter Saw Operator’s Manual GMSDB1512L... -
