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.
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 a 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
finding and correcting the problem.
BODY AND HAND POSITION (FIG. Z)
Never place hands near
the cutting area. Proper
positioning of your body and
hands when operating the miter
saw will make cutting easier and
safer. Keep children away. Keep all
visitors at a safe distance from the
miter saw. Make sure bystanders
are clear of the saw and workpiece.
Don’t force the saw. It will do the job
better and safer at its designed rate.
WARNING
!
WARNING
!
● 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 off 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’s 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 15.2 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. Molding, 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”.
