Original Instructions)
brake. New brush assemblies are available at STANLEY
service centers. The tool should be allowed to "run in" (run
at no load) for 10 minutes before use to seat new brushes.
The electric brake may be erratic in operation until the
brushes are properly seated (worn in). Always replace
the brush inspection cap after inspection or servicing the
brushes.
While "running in" do not tie, tape, or otherwise lock the
trigger switch on. Hold by hand only.
USE
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic
conditions in terms of table height and stability. The
machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a
good overview and enough free surrounding space around
the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without
any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment
temperature is not too cold, machine and accessory is
well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for this
machine.

Prior to Operation

♦ Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use
excessively worn blades. The maximum rotation speed
of the tool must not exceed that of the saw blade.
♦ Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
♦ Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
♦ Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
♦ Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are
tight.
♦ Secure the workpiece.
♦ Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous
materials, these operating instructions refer to the
cutting of wood only. The same guidelines apply to
the other materials. Do not cut ferrous (iron and steel)
materials or masonry with this saw! Do not use any
abrasive discs!
♦ Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the
machine if the kerf slot is wider than 12 mm.
Switching On and Off (Fig.24)
To turn the saw on, push the lock-off lever (dd) to the left,
then depress the trigger switch (l) . The saw will run while
the switch is depressed. Allow the blade to spin up to full
operating speed before making the cut. To turn the saw off,
release the switch. Allow the blade to stop before raising
the saw head. There is no provision for locking the switch
on. A hole (y) is provided in the trigger for insertion of a
padlock to lock the switch off.

Use of LED Worklight System (Fig. 1, 2)
NOTE: The miter saw must be connected to a power
source.
The LED Worklight System is equipped with an on/off
switch (bb). The LED Worklight System is independent of
the miter saw's trigger switch. The light does not need to
be on in order to operate the saw.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:
1. Turn on the system, then pull down on the operating
handle (a) to bring the saw blade close to the wood.
The shadow of the blade will appear on the wood.
2. Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade's
shadow.You may have to adjust the miter or bevel
angles in order to match the pencil line exactly.

Body and Hand Position

Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating
the miter saw will make cutting easier, more accurate and
safer.
♦ Never place your hands near the cutting area.
♦ Place your hands no closer than 150 mm from the
blade.
♦ Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence
when cutting. Keep your hands in position until
the switch has been released and the blade has
completely stopped.
♦ Always make dry runs (without power) before finish
cuts so that you can check the path of the blade.
♦ Do not cross your hands.
♦ Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper
balance.
♦ As you move the saw arm left and right, follow it and
stand slightly to the side of the saw blade.
♦ View through the guard louvres when following a
pencil line.
Basic Saw Cuts

NOTE: Always use 254 mm saw blades with 25.4mm arbor
holes to obtain the desired cutting capacities.
Loosen the miter lock knob (e) and depress the miter
1.
detent (t) to release the miter arm.
2. Engage the miter latch at the 0° position and tighten the
miter lock knob (e).

4. Take hold of the operating handle (a) and push the
lock-off lever (dd) to the left..
5. Press the trigger switch (l) to start the motor.
6. Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the
timber and enter the plastic kerf plate (s).
