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 mitre 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" (19 cm) 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.”
WHEN SAW IS RUNNING
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.
WARNING!
• 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 and the dust bag has been removed from the saw.
• Do not allow familiarity from frequent use of your mitre saw to result in
a careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a
severe injury.
