Safety Instructions For Basic Saw Operations (continued)-
Whenever Saw Is Running
WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your miter saw) cause a care-
less mistake. A careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.
Before starting your cut, watch the miter saw while it
runs. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot,
stop immediately. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do
not restart until finding and correcting the problem.
Keep Children Away. Keep all visitors a safe distance
from the miter saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of
the miter saw and workpiece.
Never confine the piece being cut off. Never hold it,
clamp it, touch it, or use length stops against it while the
blade is spinning. It must be free to move sideways on
its own. If confined, it could get wedged against the
blade and thrown violently.
Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
Don't Force Tool. It will do the job better and safer at
its designed rate. Feed the saw into the workpiece only
fast enough to let the blade cut without bogging down
or binding.
Before freeing jammed material:
• Turn miter saw "OFF" by releasing trigger switch.
• Unplug the miter saw.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
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.
• If blade doesn't stop within 6 seconds, unplug the
saw and follow the instructions in the Trouble
Shooting section for fixing the blade brake before
using the saw again.
Before Leaving The Saw
Never Leave Tool Running Unattended. Turn power off.
Wait for moving parts to stop.
Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect
master switches. Store tool away from children and oth-
ers not qualified to use the tool.
Basic Saw Operations
WARNING: For your convenient use, your saw
has a blade brake. The brake is not a safety
device. Never rely on it to replace proper use of
the guard on your saw. If the blade does not
stop within 6 seconds, unplug the saw and fol-
low the instructions in the Trouble Shooting
section for fixing the brake before using saw
again.
Body and Hand Position
Proper positioning of your body and hands when oper-
ating the miter saw will make cutting easier and safer.
Never place hands near cutting area. Place hand at
least 4" from path of blade. Hold workpiece firmly to the
fence to prevent movement toward the blade. Keep
hands in position until trigger has been released and
the blade has completely stopped. Before making a cut,
make a "dry run" with the power off so you can see the
path of the blade.
WARNING: Do not try to cut short pieces, you
cannot properly support the workpiece and
keep your hold down hand the required dis-
tance from the blade.
