craftsman compound sliding miter saw owner s manualPage Count: 44 If this tool is used for commercial or rental purposes, this warranty will apply for only ninety days from the date of purchase. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Sears, Roebuck and Co., Dept. 817WA, Hoffman Estates, IL 60179 This tool has many features for making its use more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this product making it easy to maintain and operate. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. Never yank cord to discon- nect from receptacle. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-ground- ing conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equip- ment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.http://m-isc.com/userfiles/e3000-user-manual-linksys.xml

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. 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 install the proper outlet. Always use a clean cloth when clean- ing. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that are defective or incorrect. Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason. Never start the saw with the blade touching the workpiece. Lock the miter table by securely tightening the miter lock levers. NEVER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of the workpiece in any operation. Always place the workpiece to be cut on the miter table and position it firmly against the fence as a back- stop.This could cause the saw blade to loosen and could create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop. Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless mistake.Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users. 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 filter out microscopic particles. Please study them andlearn their meaning. Proper interpretation of these symbols will allow you to operate the tool better and safer. Read The Operator's Manual To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand operator's manual before using this product. No Hands Failure to keep your hands away from the blade will result in Symbol serious personal injury.

For service we suggest you return the product to your nearest AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for repair. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always use eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock. NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current), Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply. EXTENSION CORDS When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to deter- mine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Labora- tories (UL) should be used. When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. A WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury. Arbor The shaft on which a blade or cutting tool is mounted. Compound Cut A cross cut made with both a miter and a bevel angle. Crosscut A cutting or shaping operation made across the grain or the width of the workpiece. Cutter Head (planers and jointers) A rotating piece of adjustable blades. The cutter head removes material from the workpiece. Dado Cut A non-through cut which produces a square-sided notch or trough in the workpiece (requires a special blade). Featherboard A device used to help control the workpiece by guiding it securely against the table or fence during any ripping operation. FPM or SPM Feet per minute (or strokes per minute), used in reference to blade movement. Freehand Performing a cut without the workpiece being guided by a fence, miter gauge, or other aids.

For convenience when carrying or transporting your miter saw from one place to another, a carrying handle has been provided on top of the saw arm. To transport, turn off and unplug your saw, then lower the saw arm and lock it in the down position. Lock saw arm by depressing the lock pin. CARRYING HANDLE SAW ARM \ LOCK PIN ) MITER LOCK HANDLE SAWARM LOCKED IN DOWN POSITION Fig. 2 MITER LOCK HANDLE See Figure 2. The miter lock handle securely locks your saw at desired miter angles. 11 SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON See Figure 3. A spindle lock button has been provided for locking the spindle which keeps the blade in your saw from rotating. Depress and hold the lock button while installing, chang- ing, or removing blade. SWITCH TRIGGER SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON Fig. 3 TRIGGER LOCK See Figure 4. To prevent unauthorized use of your compound miter saw, we suggest that you disconnect it from the power supply and lock the switch in the off position. To lock the switch, install a padlock (not included) through the hole in the switch trigger.When the lock is installed and locked, the switch is inoperable. Store the padlock key in another location. PADLOCK SWITCH TRIGGER Fig. 4 Turn the handle adjusting knob clockwise to loosen the rotating handle before twisting the rotating handle to a desired position. Lock the rotating handle into positions by turning the handle adusting knob counterclockwise LASER GUIDE For more accurate cuts, a laser guide is included with your miter saw. When used properly, the laser guide makes accurate, precision cutting simple and easy. BEVEL LOCK KNOB The bevel lock knob securely locks your compound miter saw at desired bevel angles. A positive stop adjustment screw has been provided on each side of the saw arm. ELECTRIC BRAKE An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop blade rotation after the switch is released. SLIDING MITER FENCE The miter fence on your compound miter saw has been provided to hold your workpiece securely against when making all cuts; the left side is also larger providing additional support. It has a sliding feature for clearance of the saw arm when making bevel or compound cuts. Loosen the fence screw before attempting to slide the miter fence. Once the desired position of the miter fence is determined, tighten the fence screw to secure the sliding fence. SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant, see- through plastic that provides protection from each side of the blade. It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw is lowered into the workpiece. BLADE WRENCH STORAGE This miter saw has a convenient blade wrench storage in the saw's base. 12 After assembling it, check for accuracy. WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not operate this tool until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury. A WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Failure to comply could result in accidental starting and possible serious personal injury. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury. Your compound miter saw should be permanently mounted to a firm supporting surface such as a work- bench. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw base for this purpose.Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely. The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in figure 8. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating.To install the miter lock handle, place the thread- ed stud into the threaded hole in the control arm. Turn clockwise to tighten. To install the dust guide, place the end marked INSERT over the exhaust port in the upper blade guard. Turn the guide so that the open end is facing down or toward the rear of the saw. DUST GUIDE DUST BAG Fig. 10 See Figure 11. A dust bag is provided for use on your miter saw. It fits over the dust guide on the upper Made guard. To install, squeeze the two metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide it on to the dust guide. Release the clips. The metal ring in the bag should lock in between the grooves on the dust guide. To remove the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse the above procedure. DUST GUIDE DUST BAG Fig. 11 16 If you plan to use both the stop block and miter clamp, slide the stop block on the back arm of the desired table extension first. Next slide the clamp support on the same table extension. To install table extensions, insert the ends of the exten- sions into the two holes in each side of the base. Secure them in place by positioning a clamp bracket under each table extension beneath the miter table. Orient each clamp bracket as shown in figure 13. Secure each clamp bracket in place with a clamp bracket screw. The clamp bracket screw threads through the clamp bracket and tightens against the bottom of miter table, securing clamp bracket against table extension. CLAMP SUPPORT STOP BLOCK MITER SAW BASE TABLE EXTENSION MITER SAW BASE TABLE EXTENSION CLAMP BRACKET CLAMP BRACKET SCREW Fig. 13 STOP BLOCK The stop block is useful as a stop for making repetitive cuts to the same length. This will eliminate the possibility of trapping the workpiece, resulting in the blade and workpiece kicking up. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

It also prevents the workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful when cutting compound miters. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. CLAMPSUPPORT 18 KNOB SCREWS CLAMPEXTENSION ROD Fig. 16 TO INSTALL BLADE See Figures 18 - 20. A WARNING: A 12 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade screw from securing the blade on the spindle. NOTE: The blade bolt has left hand threads. Turn blade bolt clockwise to loosen. PHILLIPS SCREW LOWER BLADE GUARDBRACKET Fig. 18 19 Tighten screw securely. A CAUTION: Make sure the spindle lock button is not engaged before reconnecting saw to power source. Never engage spindle lock button when blade is rotating. SPINDLE LOCK Fig. 20 2O Avoid direct eye contact with light source. ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE See Figure 22. The laser guide will generate a red colored line on the work surface when the blade is spinning above 500 rpm. The red laser line will appear as a broken line on the workpiece when the blade assembly is in the uppermost position and the motor switch is activated. This broken line will let you see your mark and your laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you in lining up your mark for more accurate cutting of the workpiece. Align the laser line and your mark with the blade at the up- permost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do not move the workpiece until after you have finished cutting. As the blade assembly is lowered toward the workpiece, the broken line will become solid. Make several practice cuts on different styles and thick- ness of material. Follow the directions below for using your laser guide. Removing Your Mark: Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark on the work surface in order to remove the mark. To Cut Your Mark: Position the laser line near or over your mark on the work surface in order to cut the mark. To Leave Your Mark: Position the laser line near the right edge of your mark on the work surface in order to leave the mark. After you have become familiar with using your laser guide, you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your mark on the work surface. Practice will teach you the correct position for aligning the laser line with your mark.

Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. A WARNING: Do not use any attachments or acces- sories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury. Never operate your miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position. WARNING: Always make sure your miter saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an appropriate workstand. Failure to do so could result in an acci- dent resulting in possible serious personal injury. 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. CROSSCUTTING See Figure 35, A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A straight crosscut is made with the miter table set at the 0 position. Miter crosscuts are made with the miter table set at some angle other than zero. 25 STRAIGHT CROSSCUT Fig. 35 Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning before removing the workpiece from the miter table. TO BEVEL CUT See Figures 36 - 37. A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade angled to the workpiece. Failure to do so could result in movement of the control arm or miter table while making a cut. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists. 26 BEVEL CUT Fig. 37 TO COMPOUND MITER CUT A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used to make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping sides, and for certain roof framing cuts. To make this type of cut the control arm on the miter table must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always be taken when making compound miter setups due to the interaction of the two angle settings. Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interde- pendent with one another. Each time you adjust the miter setting you change the effect of the bevel setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you change the effect of the miter setting. It may take several settings to obtain the desired cut. The first angle setting should be checked after setting the second angle, since adjusting the second angle affects the first. Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have been obtained, always make a test cut in scrap material before making a finish cut in good material. Never per- form any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists. COMPOUND MITER CUT 27 Fig. 38 SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES See Figure 40. Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and work table during the cutting operation.Since compound cuts are the most difficult to accurately obtain, trial cuts should be made in scrap material, and much thought and planning made, prior to making your required cut.In general, compound miter saws do a better job of cutting crown molding than any other tool made. In order to fit properly, crown molding must be compound mitered with extreme accuracy. The two contact surfaces on a piece of crown molding that fit flat against the ceiling and the wall of a room are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly 90. Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very precise and difficult to set. Since it is very easy for these angles to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap molding. Also most walls do not have angles of exactly 90, therefore, you will need to fine tune your settings. When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel angle should be set at 33.85 The miter angle should be set at 31.62 either right or left, depending on the desired cut for the application. See the chart below for correct angle settings and correct positioning of crown molding on miter table. The crown molding is placed flat on the miter table using the compound features of your miter saw.When cutting wide workpieces such as a 2 in. x 6 in., boards should be clamped with a C-clamp as shown in figure 44. WIDE BOARD \ Fig. 44 31 Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. Your compound miter saw has been adjusted at the factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the components might have moved out of alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking your saw, 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.If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. GENERAL Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.Chemi- cals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. It has been found that electric tools are subject to ac- celerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Con- sequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a suffi- cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. BRUSH CAP BRUSH ASSEMBLY BRUSH CAP BRUSH ASSEMBLY Fig. 46 BRUSH REPLACEMENT See Figure 46, Your saw has externally accessible brush assemblies that should be periodically checked for wear.Do not overtighten. 33 Remove the screws and separate the laser guide cover from the laser guide support. Remove the three button cell batteries using a non-con- ductive device such as a toothpick. NOTE: Replace the batteries with silver oxide batteries that have a rating of 1.5 volt and 180 mah (milliampere hour) minimum (Number 357 silver oxide only). When replacing the batteries, the laser guide should be thoroughly cleaned. Use a soft paintbrush or similar de- vice, to remove all sawdust and debris. Do not attempt to activate the laser. The laser is activated by means of a centrifugal switch only while the saw motor is running and the laser guide is mounted on the saw. After cleaning laser guide and replacing batteries, secure laser guide cover to laser guide support using the two phillips head screws. For proper assembly, be sure to align the key on the laser guide cover with the key slot in the laser guide support. Tighten screws securely.Contact your nearest Sears retail store for service center information. Page 3 Safety Instructions. Pages 4-11 Glossary of Terms. Pages 12-13 Unpacking. Page 14 Description.
