The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand
may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the
outside bowed face toward the fence. Always
make certain that there is no gap between the
workpiece, fence and table along the line of the
cut.
Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and
may cause binding on tile spinning saw blade while
cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in
the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of
all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the
workpiece.
Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with
high speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately
clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift
during cutting.
j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a
level, fi rm work surface before use.
A level and fi rm work surface reduces the risk of the
miter saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece
and will not interfere with the blade or the
guarding system.
Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece
on the table, move the saw blade through a complete
simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or
danger of cutting the fence.
I) Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that
is wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table
can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown
by the spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the
cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the
spinning blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed
by any means against the spinning saw blade.
If confi ned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece
could get wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fi xture designed to
properly support round material such as rods or
tubing.
Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing
the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand
into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting
the workpiece.
This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being
thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the miter saw off . Wait for all moving parts to stop
and disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to
free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause lass of control or damage to the miter saw.
r) After fi nishing the cut, release the switch, hold
the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop
before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is
dangerous.
s) Hold the handle fi rmly when making an
incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the down
position.
The braking action of the saw may cause the saw
head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk
of injury.
