Never cut freehand:
● Brace your workpiece firmly against the fence and table stop so it will not rock or twist
during the cut.
● Make sure there is no debris between the workpiece and the table or fence. Make sure
there are no gaps between the workpiece, fence and table that will let the workpiece shift
after it is cut.
● Keep the cut piece free to move sideways after it is cut off. Otherwise, it could get
wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
● Only the workpiece should be on the saw table.
● Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to help hold the work when it is practical.
USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD SHAPED WORKPIECES
● Use extra supports (tables, sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for workpieces large enough to tip.
● Never use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as an additional support
for a workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic miter saw table, or to help feed,
support or pull the workpiece.
● Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your
hand or fingers to be within 7-1/2 in. of the saw blade, the workpiece is too small. Keep
hands and fingers out of the “no-hands zone” area marked on the saw table.
● When cutting odd shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not bind in the blade and
cause possible injury. Moulding, for example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will
not let it move when cut.
● Properly support round material such as dowel rods or tubing, which have a tendency to
roll when cut, causing the blade to “bite.”
To avoid injury, follow all applicable safety instructions when cutting non-ferrous metals:
● Use only saw blades specifically recommended for non-ferrous metal cutting.
● Do not cut metal workpieces that must be hand held. Clamp workpieces securely.
● Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are under the supervision of an experienced person.
WHEN SAW IS RUNNING
Do not allow familiarity from frequent use of your miter saw to result in a careless mistake.
A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause severe injury.
Before cutting, if the saw makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the
saw OFF. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until you find and correct the problem.
