Cordless miter saw safety warnings

1. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid

contact with any coasting blade. It can still

cause severe injury.

2. Check the saw blade carefully for cracks or

deformation before operation.

Replace damaged blades immediately.

3. Replace the kerf board when worn.

4. Use only saw blades specied by the manufac-

turer which conform to EN847-1.

5. Do not use saw blades manufactured from

high speed steel.

6. Wear eye protection.

7. Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk of

hearing loss.

8. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw

blades shall be carried in a holder wherever

practicable) and rough material.

9. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device

when sawing.

10. Select saw blades in relation to the material to

be cut.

11. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood.

12. Always secure all moving portions before car-

rying the tool. When lifting or carrying the tool,

do not use the guard as a carrying handle.

13. Do not operate saw without guards in place.

Check blade guard for proper closing before

each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard

does not move freely and close instantly.

Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the

open position.

14. Keep the oor area free of loose material e.g.

chips and cut-offs.

15. Use only saw blades that are marked with a

maximum speed equal to or higher than the no

load speed marked on the tool.

16. When the tool is tted with a laser or LED, do

not replace the laser or LED with a different

type. Ask an authorized service center for repair.

17. Never remove any cut-offs or other parts of the

workpiece from the cutting area whilst the tool

is running with an unguarded saw blade.

18. Do not perform any operation freehand. The

workpiece must be secured rmly against the

turn base and guide fence with the vise during all

operations. Never use your hand to secure the

workpiece.

19. Ensure that the tool is stable before each cut.

20. Fix the tool to a work bench, if needed.

38. Wait until the blade attains full speed before

cutting.

39. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-

thing abnormal.

40. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on

position.

41. Be alert at all times, especially during repeti-

tive, monotonous operations. Do not be lulled

into a false sense of security. Blades are

extremely unforgiving.

42. Always use accessories recommended in this

manual. Use of improper accessories such as

abrasive wheels may cause an injury.

43. Take care when slotting.

44. Some dust created from operation contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

•

lead from lead-based-painted material and,

• arsenic and chromium from chemical-

ly-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies,

depending on how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and

work with approved safety equipment, such as

those dust masks that are specially designed

to lter out microscopic particles.

45. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure

that the blade is sharp and clean.

46. The operator is adequately trained in the use,

adjustment and operation of the machine.

Securing workpiece

WARNING: It is extremely important to always

secure the workpiece correctly with the proper

type of vise. Failure to do so may result in serious

personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or

the workpiece.

WARNING: When cutting a workpiece that is

longer than the support base of the saw, sup-

port the entire length of the material beyond the

support base and at the same height to keep the

material level. Proper workpiece support helps to

avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may

result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on

the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the

workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support work-

piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and

possible KICKBACK.

►Fig.37: 1. Support 2. Turn base

Vertical vise

WARNING: Secure the workpiece rmly against

the turn base and guide fence with the vise during

all operations. Otherwise the material may move

during the cutting operation, cause damage to the

blade, and be thrown which may result in loss of

control and serious personal injury.

Install the vertical vise on either the left or right side of

the guide fence or the holder assembly (optional acces-

sory). Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence

or the holder assembly and tighten the lower screw to

secure the vise rod.

►Fig.38: 1. Vise arm 2. Vise rod 3. Guide fence

4. Holder 5. Holder assembly 6. Vise knob

7. Lower screw 8. Upper screw

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and

shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by

tightening the upper screw. If the upper screw contacts

the guide fence, install the upper screw on the opposite

side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool

contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and

pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part

contacts the vise, re-position the vise.

Press the workpiece at against the guide fence and the

turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting

position and secure it rmly by tightening the vise knob.

Horizontal vise

Optional accessory

WARNING: Grip the workpiece only when the

indicator is at the topmost position. Failure to do

so may result in insufcient securing of the workpiece.

This may cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause

damage to the blade or cause the loss of control,

which may result in personal injury.

►Fig.39: 1. Vise knob 2. Indicator 3. Vise

shaft 4. Base

The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of

the base.

By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw

is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in

and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw

remains secured.

To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently clock-

wise until the indicator reaches its topmost position,

then fasten securely. If the vise knob is forced in or

pulled out while being turned clockwise, the indicator

may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob

back counterclockwise until the screw is released, and

then turn it again gently clockwise.

The maximum capacity of the horizontal vise is 120 mm

width.

Holders and holder assembly

Optional accessory

WARNING: Always support a long workpiece

so it is level with the top surface of the turn base

for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss

of tool control. Proper workpiece support helps to

avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may

result in serious personal injury.

The holders and the holder assembly (optional acces-

sory) can be installed on either side as a convenient

means of supporting workpieces horizontally.

Install them on the side of the tool, then tighten the

screws rmly to secure them.

►Fig.40: 1. Holder 2. Holder assembly

When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod

assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder

assemblies and two rods 12.

►Fig.41: 1. Holder assembly 2. Rod 12

OPERATION

WARNING: Make sure the blade is not contact-

ing the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned

on. Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with

the workpiece may result in kickback and serious

personal injury.

WARNING: After a cutting operation, do not

raise the blade until it has come to a complete

stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in

serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.

WARNING: Do not touch the clamp screws

which secure the slide poles while the saw blade

is rotating. Otherwise the tool may lose control and

result in personal injury.

19ENGLISH

NOTICE: Before use, be sure to release the handle

from the lowered position by pulling the stopper

pin.

NOTICE: Do not apply excessive pressure on the

handle when cutting. Too much force may result in

overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting ef-

ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as

necessary for smooth cutting and without signicant

decrease in blade speed.

NOTICE: Gently press down the handle to perform

the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or

if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and

leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the

precision of the cut may be impaired.

NOTICE: During a slide cut, gently push the car-

riage toward the guide fence without stopping. If

the carriage movement stops during the cut, a mark

may be left in the workpiece and the precision of the

cut may be impaired.

Press cutting (cutting small

workpieces)

WARNING: Firmly tighten two clamp screws

which secure the slide poles clockwise so that

the carriage will not move during operation.

Insufcient tightening of the locking screw may cause

possible kickback which may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

►Fig.42

Workpieces up to 52 mm high and 97 mm wide can be

cut in the following manner.

1. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and

tighten two clamp screws which secure the slide poles

clockwise to secure the carriage.

2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.

3. Switch on the tool without the blade making any

contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before

lowering.

4. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-

tion to cut the workpiece.

5. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and

wait until the blade has come to a complete stop

before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide

workpieces)

WARNING: Whenever performing a slide cut,

rst pull the carriage full towards you and press

the handle all the way down, then push the car-

riage toward the guide fence. Never start the cut

with the carriage not pulled fully toward you. If

you perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled

fully toward you unexpected kickback may occur and

serious personal injury may result.

WARNING: Never attempt to perform a slide

cut by pulling the carriage towards you. Pulling

the carriage towards you while cutting may cause

unexpected kickback resulting in possible serious

personal injury.

WARNING: Never perform the slide cut with the

handle locked in the lowered position.

WARNING: Never loosen the knob which

secures the carriage while the blade is rotating. A

loose carriage while cutting may cause unexpected

kickback resulting in possible in serious personal

injury.

►Fig.43

1. Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide

poles counterclockwise so that the carriage can slide

freely.

2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.

3. Pull the carriage toward you fully.

4. Switch on the tool without the blade making any

contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.

5. Press the handle down and push the carriage

toward the guide fence and through the workpiece.

6. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and

wait until the blade has come to a complete stop

before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter

angle".

20 ENGLISH

Bevel cut

WARNING: After setting the blade for a bevel

cut, before operating the tool ensure that the car-

riage and blade will have free travel throughout

the entire range of the intended cut. Interruption of

the carriage or blade travel during the cutting oper-

ation may result in kickback and serious personal

injury.

WARNING: While making a bevel cut keep

hands out of the path of the blade. The angle of the

blade may confuse the operator as to the actual blade

path while cutting and contact with the blade will

result in serious personal injury

WARNING: The blade should not be raised until

it has come to a complete stop. During a bevel cut

the piece cut off may come to rest against the blade.

If the blade is raised while it is rotating the cut-off

piece maybe ejected by the blade causing the mate-

rial to fragment which may result in serious personal

injury.

CAUTION: (Only for tools with sub-fence) Always

set the sub-fence outside when performing left

bevel cuts.

►Fig.44

1. Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the

bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting

the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever rmly to

secure the selected bevel angle safely.

2. Secure the workpiece with a vise.

3. Pull the carriage toward you fully.

4. Switch on the tool without the blade making any

contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.

5. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-

tion while applying pressure in parallel with the blade

and push the carriage toward the guide fence to cut

the workpiece.

6. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and

wait until the blade has come to a complete stop

before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

NOTICE: When pressing down the handle, apply

pressure in parallel with the blade. If a force is

applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pres-

sure direction is changed during a cut, the precision

of the cut will be impaired.

Compound cutting

Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel

angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle

is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be

performed at the angle shown in the table.

Miter angle Bevel angle

Left and Right 45° Left 0° - 45°

Right 50° Left 0° - 40°

Right 55° Left 0° - 30°

Right 57° Left 0° - 25°

When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press

cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut"

explanations.

Cutting crown and cove moldings

Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound

miter saw with the moldings laid at on the turn base.

There are two common types of crown moldings and

one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown

molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall

angle cove molding.

►Fig.45: 1. 52/38° type crown molding 2. 45° type

crown molding 3. 45° type cove molding

There are crown and cove molding joints which are

made to t "Inside" 90° corners ((a) and (b) in the gure)

and "Outside" 90° corners ((c) and (d) in the gure.)

►Fig.46: 1. Inside corner 2. Outside corner

►Fig.47: 1. Inside corner 2. Outside corner

Measuring

Measure the wall width, and adjust the width of the

workpiece according to it. Always make sure that width

of the workpiece's wall contact edge is the same as wall

length.

►Fig.48: 1. Workpiece 2. Wall width 3. Width of

the workpiece 4. Wall contact edge

Always use several pieces for test cuts to check the

saw angles.
