safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury including the following.
READ all these instructions before attempting to
operate this product and save these instructions.
Safety Advice:
• Although compact, this miter saw is heavy.
To reduce the risk of back injury, get competent
help whenever you have to lift the saw.
• Hold the tool close to your body when lifting.
Bending your knees so you can lift with your
legs, not your back. Lift by using the cutting
handle on the head of the miter saw and
the large, orange handle on the rear of the
carriage slide.
• Never carry the miter saw by the power cord.
Carrying the miter saw by the power cord could
cause damage to the insulation or the wire
connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
• Before moving the miter saw tighten the
miter and bevel locking screws and the
sliding carriage locking screw to guard
against sudden unexpected movement.
• Lock the cutting head in its lowest position.
Ensure that the cutting head locking pin is
completely engaged in its socket.

3. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
4. Don't use in dangerous environment.

5. Keep children away. All visitors should be
kept safe distance from work area.

master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. Don't force the tool. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
8. Use the right tool. Don't force the tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed.
9. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table on the
next page shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10. Wear proper apparel do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewellery which may get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
