1. Connect this saw 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. Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip frequently 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 incorrect
connections, overload, low voltage (such as small size wire
in the supply circuit or to overly long supply circuit wire).
Always check the connections, the load and the supply
circuit whenever motor does not work well.

Electric Brake

Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric brake which is
designed to stop the blade from spinning in about ten (10)
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.

or object other than the workpiece. Laser light can

operation of the tool.
W RNING
reflective sheet steel or similar reflective surfaces are not
recommended for laser use. Reflective surfaces could direct
the beam back toward the operator.

by the release of the trigger switch.
The electric blade brake of your miter saw has been designed
for highest degree of reliability, but unexpected circumstances
such as contamination on the commutator and brushes or
failure of motor's components 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 ten (10) seconds, DO NOT use saw and have it
serviced immediately.
The brake action of this saw is not

intended as a safety feature. Remember
to let the saw blade come to a complete stop before removing
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.
