blocks, etc,)for any workpieces large enou-
gh to tip when not held down to the tabte
top.
b. Do not use this saw to cut pieces too small
to let you easily hold the work while you
keep the thumb side of your index (poi-
nter) finger against the outside edge of the
fence.
c. When cutting irregularly shaped work*
pieces, plan your work so it will not slip
and pinch the blade. A piece of motding,
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.
d. Properly support round material such as
dowel rods, or tubing. They have a
tendency to roll while being cut, causing
the blade to _bite. _ To avoid this, always
use a fixture designed to properly hold
your work piece.
• Make sure there are no nails or foreign
objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
• Make sure bystanders are clear of the tool and
workpiece. Keep them clear of the area behind
the saw where debris will be thrown.
• Never turn your miter saw _ON_ before
clearing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.
D. To avoid risk of hearing damage, wear ear
plugs or muffs during extended periods of
operation.
E, To avoid being suddenly pufled into the blade:
1. Do not wear gloves.
2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.
3. Tie back long hair.
4. Rol! long sleeves above the elbow.
G, To avoid an electrical shock, make sure your
fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the
plug when inserting or removing the plug to
or from a live outlet.
H. Never put lubricants on the blade while it's
spinning,
1.To avoid burns or other fire damage, never
use the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or
gases.
J. To avoid injury from unsafe accessories, use
only accessories shown on the recommended
accessories list in this manual.

I WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained trom
Irequent use of your miter saw) to cause a careless
mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction
....#fa second is enough,, t,o cause a severe injury,
1. Before actually cutting with the saw, let it run
for a while. If your saw makes an unfamiliar
noise or if it vibrates excessively, stop immedi-
ately. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not
restart until finding and correcting the problem,
2. Never confine the piece being cut off. Never
hold it, clamp it, touch it, or use length stops
against it. It must be free to move sideways. If
confined, it could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
3. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.
4, Let the blade reach ful! speed before cutting.
5. Feed the saw into the workpiece only fast
enough to let the blade cut without bogging
down or binding,
6. Before freeing jammed material, release switch
and unplug the saw. Wait for all moving parts to
stop.
7. After finishing a cut, keep holding the power-
head down, release the switch, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before moving your hands,
