Use And Care Manual
Page 7
• 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.
• 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.
• Ensure the miter saw is mounted or
placed on a level, rm work surface
before use. A level and firm work
surface reduces the risk of the miter
saw becoming unstable.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• The cut-off piece must not be jammed
or pressed by any means against the
spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e.
using length stops, the cut-off piece
could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Always use a clamp or a 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.
• Let the blade reach full speed before
contacting the workpiece. This will
reduce the risk of the workpiece being
thrown.
• 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 loss of
control or damage to the miter saw.
• After 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.
• Hold the handle 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR MITER SAW
• Do not operate this machine until it is
completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions. A
machine incorrectly assembled can
cause serious injury.
• Obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor, or another qualied person
if you are not thoroughly familiar
with the operation of this machine.
Knowledge is safety.
• Make certain the blade rotates in the
