The most usual reason for a master to free a slave would be as a reward for the good work that had been done by the slave. Masters are not required to reward their slaves, but they still may be generous enough to do so. There are also a number of cases in which slaves inherit their freedom when their owner dies, on the principle that it is enough for the slave to have served the master for the master's entire lifetime, without having to also then become the slave of the master's heir. Again, that is not required, but it is a reasonable act of kindness that costs the master nothing.
A master might free a slave for various reasons, such as fulfilling a debt, as a reward for faithful service, out of religious beliefs or moral principles, or to grant the slave a chance for a better life and societal integration.

Many slaves were granted their freedom when their master died as a provision in his will. I believe a slave could also buy his freedom. They were usually freed when they were around 30 (manumission) Also when their master was very pleased and very kind he would set him free. eg. if you were a kind master and you were being mugged, and a slave saves you, you might free that slave. Question of my own: How would a master show that he freed his slave??
A runaway slave needed to have in hand some kind of paperwork in order to make to the North. If the slave was apprehended without paperwork to prove that he was a free man, that slave could be returned to his master, or taken by another master.
This is called a "Contract". It includes the timeframe for service (can be anything from a day to the rest of a person's life) and expectations that both parties have (that Master will care for slave mentally and physically, that slave will be obedient to Master in all things...etc.) It may (or may not) include the limits that a slave has, and the activities that a Master will not perform.

TBH, I think that slaves gain their master's because they get whipped and slapped if they don't do what they are asked by the master. I mean, a master might bribe the slave into believing and trusting him/her.
