PLANYOURWORK
Use the right tool. Don't force a tool or attachment
to do a job it was not designed to do. Use a
different tool for any workpiece that can't be held in
a solidly braced, fixed position.
CAUTION: This machine is not designed for cutting
ferrous metals (steel, iron, and iron-based metals.) Use
this miter saw to cut only wood, wood-like products, or
soft metals like aluminum. Other material may shatter,
bind the blade, or create other dangers. Remove all
nails that may be in the workpiece to prevent sparking
that could cause a fire.
DRESS FOR SAFETY
Any power tool can throw foreign objects intothe eyes.
This can result in permanent eye damage. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses and are
not safety glasses. Glasses or goggles not in
compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriouslyinjure you
when they break.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, watches). They can get caught and
draw you into moving parts.
• Wear non-slip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs when using any miter
saw.
• For dustyoperations, wear a dust mask along with
safety goggles.
INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece being cut.
Plan your work to avoid small pieces that may bind,
or that are too small to clamp and get a solid grasp
on.
Plan the way you willgrasp the workpieca from start to
finish.Avoid awkward operations and hand positions.
A sudden slip could cause yourfingers or hand to move
intothe blade,
DON'T OVER-REACH
Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face and
bodyto one side, out of the lineof a possible kickback.
NEVER stand in the lineof the blade.
Never cut freehand:
• Brace yourworkpiece firmlyagainst the fence and
table stop so it willnot rock or twistduring the cut.
• Make sure there is no debris between the
workpiece and the table or fence.
• Make sure there are no gaps between the
workpiece, fence and table thatwill let the
workpiece shiftduring the cut.
• Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after
it is cut off. Otherwise, itcould get wedged against
the blade and thrown, possiblycausing injury.
• Only the workpiece shouldbe on the saw table.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to help hold
the work when it's practical
USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD
SHAPED WORKPIECES.
• Use extra supports(tables, sawhorses, blocks, etc.)
for workpieces large enoughto tip.
• Never use another person as a substitutefor a
table extension, or as an additionalsupportfor a
workpiece that is longeror wider than the basic
miter saw table, or to helpfeed, support,or pullthe
workpiece.
• Do not use this sew to cut small pieces. If the
workpiece being cut would cause your hand or
fingers to be within 7-1/4 inchesof the saw blade
the workpiece istoo small. Keep handsand fingers
out of the "nohands zone" area marked on the
saws table.
• When cutting odd shaped workpieces, planyour
work so itwill not bindin the blade and cause
possibleinjury.Molding, for example, must lie fiat
or be held by a fixtureor jig that willnot let itmove
when cut.
Properly supportroundmaterial such as dowel
rods, or tubing, which have a tendencyto rollwhen
cut, causing the bladeto "bite".
To avoid injury,follow all applicable safety instructions,
when cutting non-ferrous metals:
• Use only saw blades specificallyrecommended for
non-ferrous metal cutting.
• Do not cut metal workpieces that must be hand
held. Clamp workpieces securely.
• Cut non-ferrousmetals onlyif you are under the
supervisionof an experienced person.
WHEN SAW IS RUNNING
IAW,.N,NO1
Don't allow familiarityfrom frequent use of your miter
saw to result in a careless mistake.A careless fraction
of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.
Before cutting, if the sew makes an unfamiliarnoiseor
vibrates, stop immediately.Tum the saw OFF Unplug
the sew. Do not restart untilfindingand correcting the
problem.
