SAFETY
5
●
Inspect the workpiece for nails or other foreign
objects before it is cut.
●
Do not allow anyone to stand behind the saw or
close to the workpiece where debris can be thrown.
●
Operate your saw in a clear, safe environment.
Avoid contact with a rotating blade
●
Do not wear gloves, loose clothing, or jewelry.
●
Tie back long hair and roll long sleeves above the
elbow.
Avoid injury from accidental starting of saw
●
Unplug the power cord from the electrical source.
●
Disconnect the lower blade guard.
●
Install or remove the blade.
●
Perform maintenance or make adjustments.
Avoid injury from electrical shock
●
Do not touch the metal blades on the power cord
plug when inserting or removing the plug from an
electric outlet.
Avoid injury from a fire hazard
●
Do not operate the saw near flammable liquids,
vapors, or gases.
When Operating Your Miter Saw
Avoid injury from unexpected saw movement
●
Use the saw on a firm level surface with adequate
space for handling and supporting the workpiece.
●
Be sure the saw cannot move when operated.
Secure the saw to a workbench or table with heavy
duty screws, washers, and nuts.
Before moving the saw
●
Unplug the power cord from the electrical source.
●
Lock the handle in the down position using the
handle latch.
Avoid back injury
●
Obtain help when it is necessary to raise the saw
more than 10 inches (254 mm).
●
Bend your knees when lifting the saw.
●
Carry your saw by the carrying handle or base. Do
not carry your saw by the power cord or the trigger
handle. Carrying the saw by the power cord could
cause damage to the insulation or the wire
connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
Whenever Your Miter Saw is Running
WARNING:
• Do not make a careless error just because you operate the
saw frequently. A neglectful moment can cause a severe injury.
• Do not lubricate the blade while it is spinning.
Prior to cutting a workpiece
●
Test the operation of your saw. If you feel excessive
vibration or hear an unusual noise, immediately
stop operating the saw. Correct the problem before
using.
Allow movement of the waste portion of the
workpiece
●
Do not hold it, clamp it, touch it or use a length stop
against it. The cut-off waste portion must be free to
move. It could become wedged against the blade
causing a hazard.
Avoid awkward operation
●
Make sure your hand is never closer than 4 inches
from the blade.
●
Do not cross your arms in front of the blade while
operating the saw.
Do not force the blade through the workpiece
●
Lower the blade through the workpiece fast enough
to allow the blade to cut without binding or bogging
down.
Before removing obstructed material
●
Release the trigger switch/start button, wait for the
blade to stop moving, and unplug the power cord
from the electric outlet.
After completing a cut
●
Keep the handle in the down position. Release the
trigger switch/start button and wait for the blade to
stop moving.
