>D1;4=BD;0C43)>>;B

Double insulation is a design concept used in

electric power tools which eliminates the need for

the three wire grounded power cord and grounded

power supply system. It is a recognized and ap-

proved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA

and Federal OSHA authorities.

• Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires

care and knowledge of the system and should be

performed only by a qualified service technician.

• WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL RE-

PLACEMENT PARTS.

• POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of elec-

trical shock, your tool is equipped with a polarized

plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug

will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it

still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to in-

stall the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of elec-

trical shock, do not change the plug in any way.

GC4=B8>=>A3B

• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of

damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.

• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with ade-

quate size conductors should be used to prevent ex-

cessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating.

The table shows the correct size to use, depending

on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of

tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always

use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.

'$""#(/($-)#($#

1. Connect this saw to a 120V, 15-amp branch cir-

cuit with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit

breaker. Using the wrong size fuse can damage

the motor.

2. Fuses may “blow” or circuit breakers may trip fre-

quently if motor is overloaded. Overloading can

occur if you feed the blade into the workpiece too

rapidly or start and stop too often in a short time.

3. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or in-

correct connections, overload, low voltage (such

as small size wire in the supply circuit or too

overly long supply circuit wire). Always check the

connections, the load and the supply circuit when-

ever motor does not work well.

;42CA82A0:4

Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric

brake which is designed to stop the blade from spin-

ning in about five (5) seconds after you release the

trigger switch. It is useful when making certain cuts

in wood where a coasting blade would result in a

wide, imprecise cut.

When electrical power is lost due to

blown fuse or other causes, the

motor will gradually slow down and the braking action

is initiated ONLY by the release of the trigger switch.

The electric blade brake of your miter saw has been

designed for highest degree of reliability, but unex-

pected circumstances such as contamination on the

commutator and brushes or failure of motor’s com-

ponents can cause the brake not to activate. If this

condition occurs, turn the saw “ON” and “OFF” four

to five times without contacting the workpiece. If the

tool operates but the brake does not consistently

stop the blade in about five (5) seconds, DO NOT

use saw and have it serviced immediately.

The brake action of this saw is not

intended as a safety feature. Re-

member to let the saw blade come to a complete

stop before raising the blade from the workpiece. As

always the guard system is your best protection

against unintentional contact with a spinning saw

blade. NEVER wedge open or defeat the closing

action of the lower guard.

1. With the miter arm locked in the down position,

push the dust elbow onto the dust port. Push the

dust bag onto the elbow and rotate both to de-

sired position. (Figure 4).

2. Position dust chute/bag so that it does not inter-

fere with the tool during the cutting operation for

all miter/bevel settings. Make sure dust bag does

not interfere with the slide rails during slide cut-

ting.

3. The dust bag requires emptying when full of

sawdust. Empty it frequently and after completion

of sawing. Carefully remove dust bag from dust

elbow. Empty dust bag in proper trash

bin by unzipping the bag. Be extremely careful of

dust disposed, materials in fine particle form may

be explosive. Do not throw sawdust on an open-

fire. Spontaneous combustion, may in time, result

from mixture of oil or water with dust particles.

NOTE: The dust port accepts the Bosch VAC004

Vacuum Hose Adapter, which allows connection to

a Bosch 35mm vacuum hose.

When sawing chemically pressure

treated lumber, paint that may be

lead based, or any other materials that may contain

carcinogens, use special precautions. A suitable res-

pirator must be worn by all personnel entering the

work area. Work area should be sealed by plastic

sheeting and persons not protected should be kept

out until work area is thoroughly cleaned.

K When the diameter of the blade has been reduced

due to sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust

the depth stop. When a new blade is installed, it

is necessary to check the clearance of the blade to

the turn table structure.

KThe depth stop adjustment is a feature used when

cutting grooves in the workpiece. (See page 30 for

cutting grooves.)

above the threaded end of the Depth Stop Bolt

(Fig. 13).

2. Press Depth Stop Release Button and pull up

Depth Stop Bolt until nuts hit the bottom of its sup-

port frame.

3. Set the table to the 0° miter position. Push down

and slide back saw head to the full back position.

4. While looking at both the blade and the corner

where the fence meets the table, turn the Depth

Stop Bolt to set the blade depth to about 1/4 inch

below the table’s surface.

5. Release the saw head to the up position.

6. Turn both lower Jam Nuts to be tight against the

bottom of the support frame. Tighten nuts against

each other.

7. Practice slide cutting (with tool unplugged) to verify

that the blade does not touch table. If it clears the

table, make a practice cut (with tool plugged) on

scrap wood to verify that the cut goes completely

through the lower front edge of the workpiece

Do not start the miter saw without

checking for interference between

the blade and the turn table structure. The blade

could be ruined if it cuts into the table structure.

To avoid injury always observe the

following:

• Unplug electric cord. Before transporting the saw,

rotate head and lock assembly to 60° right miter,

lock into detent, slide head assembly to the middle

of it’s rail, tighten the slide rail lock knob and lock

the head assembly in the lowered position.

!85C8=6(0F

• To avoid back injury, hold the tool close to your

body when lifting. Bend your knees so you can lift

with your legs, not your back.

• Lift by using the cast-in carry handles at each

side of the bottom of the base.

• Alternate lifting method: When picking tool up

from ground, use rear carrying handle and front

carrying handle (above guard).

and the wire connections resulting in electric shock

or fire.

• Observe the position of the saw. People standing

behind it could be injured by thrown debris.

• Place the saw on a firm, level surface where there

is plenty of room for handling and properly support-

ing the workpiece.

• Bolt, nail or clamp the saw to its support.
