Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Do not leave tool running unattended; turn
power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to
a complete stop.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF WITH
PAD LOCK, MASTER SWITCHES or by
removing starter keys.
Before plugging in the tool, be certain
the outlet voltage supplied is compatible
with the voltage marked on the nameplate
within 10%.. An outlet voltage incompatible
with that specified on the nameplate can
result in serious hazards and damage to the
tool.
Do not stand on tool or its stand. Serious
injury may occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not
store materials on or near the tool such that it
is necessary to stand on the tool or its stand
to reach them.
Do not use the power tool for purpose not
intended - for example, do not use the miter
saw for slicing meats.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the workpiece by
hand or against your body is unstable. It
allows for workpiece to shift, causes binding
of the tool and loss of control.
W h e n c u t t i n g i r r e g u l a r l y s h a p e d
workpieces, plan your work so it will not
slip and pinch the blade and be torn from
your hand. A piece of molding, for example,
must lie flat or be held by a fixture or jig that
will not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut.
For chop-action cutting, move the head
assembly to the rear as far as it will go
and engage the mechanism lock. Then
turn the saw "ON" and lower the head
a ssem bl y to ma ke t he cut. Rele as e
the switch and wait for the blade to
completely stop before raising the head
assembly and removing the workpiece.
Failure to lock the mechanism can cause the
blade to suddenly climb up on the top of the
workpiece and force itself toward you.
Do not operate the saw in the following
range of miter and bevel combinations:
left Bevel 45° to 47° PLUS Right Miter 46°
Addtional Warnings
to 60°. These miter and bevel combinations
may result in interference between the sliding
and stationary parts of the saw or between
the sliding parts and the work-piece – to
make cut remove sliding fence and sliding
fence lock knob.
Braking action of the saw causes the saw
head to jerk downward. Be ready for this
reaction when making an incomplete cut or
when releasing the switch before the head is
completely in the down position.
If blade does not stop within five (5)
seconds, unplug the saw and follow
the instructions in the Troubleshooting
section.
To reduce risk of injury, use saw blade
rated 4000/min (RPM) or greater.
Do not allow familiarity gained from
frequent use of your miter saw to become
commonplace. Always remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
Think Safety! Safety Is A Combinationof
Operator's Common Sense, Knowledge Of
The Safety And Operating Instructions And
Alertness At All Times When The Miter Saw
Is Being Used.
Always disconnect the power cord from
the power source before transporting the
miter saw. Unplug power cord, lower head
assembly and lock into position by engaging
the lock pin, use the carry handle included on
the top of the saw arm and one of the hand
indentations in the saw base
There are additional safety instructions
for particular operations of the saw in the
Saw Operations section. Read the rest of
the manual for safe operation.
