Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging or

BEFORE EACH USE INSPECT YOUR SAW
• Disconnect the mitre saw. To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug the saw
before any adjustments, including set-up and blade changes.
• Compare the direction of rotation arrow on the guard to the direction arrow on the
blade. The blade teeth should always point downward at the front of the saw.
• Tighten the arbour bolt.
• Tighten the cover plate screw.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for:
- Alignment of moving parts
- Damaged electrical cords
- Binding of moving parts
- Mounting holes
- Function of arm return spring and lower guard: Push the cutting arm all the way
down, then let it rise until it stops. The lower guard should fully close. Follow
instructions in the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE to adjust if necessary.
- Other conditions that may affect the way the mitre saw works.
• Keep all guards in place, in working order and properly adjusted. If any part of this
mitre saw is missing, bent, damaged or broken in any way, or any electrical parts
don’t work, turn the saw off and unplug it.
• Replace bent, damaged, missing or defective parts before using the saw again.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep the mitre saw clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating. Do not put lubricants on the blade while it is
spinning.
• Remove adjusting wrench from the tool before turning it on.
• To avoid injury from jams, slips, or thrown pieces, use only recommended
