sufficient to inflict serious injury.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not

APPLICATIONS
This product has been designed only for the purposes listed
below:
 Cross cutting wood, wood composition and plastic (do
not cut metals, ceramics, or masonry products.)
 Cross cutting miters, joints, etc. for picture frames
moldings, door casings, and fine joinery
 Bevel cutting and compound cutting of lumber and moldings
NOTE: The blade provided is fine for most wood cutting
operations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use
one of the accessory blades available from the dealer.
WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the
compound miter saw to a workbench. Never operate the
miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure
to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter
lock handle and bevel lock knob securely before making
a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the
control arm or miter table while making a cut.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands outside
the no hands zone, at least 4 in. from the blade. Never
perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding
workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the
workpiece if it slips or twists.

OPERATION

NOTICE:
Do not start the compound miter saw without checking
for interference between the blade and the miter fence.
Damage could result to the blade if it strikes the miter
fence during operation of the saw.
CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND
MITER SAW
WARNING:
When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure your
workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of the blade
only. The workpiece must remain free on one side of the
blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The
workpiece binding the blade will cause motor stalling and
kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting
in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to any
cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is
rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade
causing serious personal injury.
LED LIGHTING SYSTEM
See Figure 23.
WARNING:
Do not stare into the light beam (not even from a dis-
tance). Staring into the light beam may result in serious
injury or vision loss.
The LED lighting system casts the shadow of the blade onto
the workpiece. This results in greater accuracy of cuts and
requires no adjustments.
To use this feature, turn the LED switch on.
Bring the saw arm down so that the blade is approximately
1/4 in. from the workpiece. The shadow of the blade will be
projected onto the workpiece, indicating where the blade
teeth will make contact as the cut is made.
