Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
The number of turns completed by a spinning object in
one minute.
Sawblade Path
The area of the workpiece or table top directly in line
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 sawblade tooth is bent
(or set) outward from the face of the blade.
Workpiece
The item on which the cutting operation is being per-
formed. The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly
referred to as faces, ends, and edges.

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.
All exposed
metal parts are isolated
from
the internal
metal
motor
components
with protecting
insulation.
Your unit has a plug 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-volt 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 tool is intended for indoor residential use only.
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.
1. Connect this tool to a 120V, 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 "MotorTrouble-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 10% 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, tow voltage (such as
small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long
supply circuit wire. Always check the connections,
