a drop in linevoltage resultingin lossof power
and overheating.A wire gage size (A,W.G.) of at
least14 is recommendedfor an extensioncord
25 feet or less in length.If in doubt,use the next
heaviergage. The smaller the gage number,the
heavierthe cord.

ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES to
minimizeriskof blade pinchingand kickback.
Saw may slip, walk, or slidewhilecuffinglongor
heavy boards.
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickbackoccurs
when the blade stalls rapidlyand workplaceis

Lock the mitertable bysecurelytighteningthe
miter lock handle. Lockthesaw arm (bevel
function)by securelytighteningthe bevel lock
knob.
NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE
SCRAP END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE.
NEVER holdonto or bindthefree scrap end of
the workpiece in any operation.If a workclamp
and length stopare usedtogether,they must
bothbe installedon thesame side ofthe sew
table to preventthe sew fromcatchingthe loose
and and kickingup.
NEVER cut morethan one piece at aurae. DO
NOT STACK more than one workpleceon the
sew table at a time.
NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREE-

Your compoundmiter saw has been adjusted at the
factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some
of the components might have been jarred out of
alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time,
readjustment will probably become necessary due to
wear. After unpacking your sew, check the following
adjustments before you begin using saw. Make any
readjustments that are necessary and periodically
check the parts alignment to make sure that your saw
is cutting accurately.
_l_ WARNING: Yoursaw shouldnever be
connectedto powersupplywhen you are
assemblingparts,makingadjustments,installing
or removingblades, or when not in use.
Disconnectingyoursaw willpreventaccidental:

cu'rlrlNG A SLOT IN THE ZERO
CLEARANCE THROAT PLATE
In orderto useyourcompound miter saw, you must
cuta slotthroughthe zeroclearance throatplate to
allowfor blade clearance.To cutthe slot,sat your
saw at Odegrees miter,turn saw on and allowthe
bladeto reach fullspeed, then carefully make a
straight cutas far as itwillgo throughthe throatplate.
Turn yoursaw offand allowthe bladeto cometo a
complete stop beforeraisingthe saw arm.
Next, adjust the bevel angleto 45 degrees, tumyour
saw on and allowthe blade to roach full speed, then
carefully make another cutthroughthe zero clearance
throat plate.The throat plate willthen be wide enough
toallow the blade topass throughit at any anglefrom
Oto45 degrees.

DEPTH STOP
I
The depth stop limitsthe blade'sdownwardtravel. It,
allowsthe bladeto go belowthe mitertable enoughto
maintainfull cuttingcapacities. The depthstop posi-
tionsthe blade 114in. from the mitertable support.
Note: The miter table supportis locatedinsidemiter
table.
The depthstopis factory setto providemaximum
cuttingcapacity for the 10 in. sew blade providedwith
yoursaw. Therefore, the saw blade providedshould
never need adjustments.
However, when the diameterofthe bladehas been
reduced due to sharpening, it may be necasseryto
adjustthe depth stop toprovidemaximumcutting
capacity. Also, when a new bladeis installed,it is
necessary tocheck the clearanceofthe bladetothe
miter table supportbeforestartingthe saw. Make
adjustmentsif needed.
