11. ALWAYS be sure that the blade clears the workpiece. NEVER start the
saw with the blade touching the workpiece. ALWAYS allow the motor to
come up to full speed BEFORE starting a cut.
12. SUPPORT long workpieces when cutting to minimize the risk of blade
pinching or kickback. The saw may slip, walk or slide while cutting long or
heavy boards.
13. NEVER use a length-stop on the free (scrap end) of a clamped workpiece,
NEVER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of the workpiece in any
operation. If work clamp and length stop are used together, THEY MUST
BOTH BE INSTALLED on the SAME SIDE of the saw table to prevent the
saw from catching the loose end and kicking up.
14. NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT STACK more than one
workpiece on the worktable at a time.
15. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure that
you have good balance. NEVER operate your saw on the floor or in a
crouched position.
16. ONLY USE the correct blades. Use the right blade size, style and cutting
speed for the material and the type of cut. DO NOT use blades with
incorrect size holes. NEVER use blade washers or blade bolts that are
defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity for this saw is
12-inches.
17. ALWAYS keep blades clean, sharp and with the sufficient set. Sharp
blades minimize stalling and kickback.
18. DO NOT use dull or damaged blades. Bent blades can break easily, or
cause kickback.
19. DO NOT remove the saw’s blade guards. NEVER operate the saw with
any guard or cover removed. MAKE SURE that all guards are operating
properly BEFORE each use.
20. NEVER hand holds a workpiece that is too small to be clamped. ALWAYS
keep your hands clear of the “no hands” zone.
21. NEVER perform any operation freehand. ALWAYS place the workpiece to
be cut on the miter saw table and position it firmly against the fence as a
backstop. ALWAYS use the fence.
22. NEVER apply lubricants to the blade when it is running. NEVER use
solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material.
23. KEEP HAND OUT OF SAW BLADE. DO NOT reach under the material being
cut or in the blade’s cutting path with your fingers or hand for any reason.
