• Always keep blades clean, sharp, and with the sufficient set. Sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blades can break easily or
cause kickback.
• 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.
• Never hold with your hands a workpiece that is too small to be clamped.
Always keep your hands clear of the "no hands" zone.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep your hands away from the cutting area. Do not reach under the
material being cut or in the blade's cutting path with your fingers or hand for
any reason. Always turn the power off before reaching into the cutting area.
WARNING: The blade continues to turn after the power to the saw is turned
off. To avoid possible serious injury, after releasing the trigger switch to cut power,
allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.
• Never reach behind, under, or within three inches of the blade and its cutting
path with your hands or fingers for any reason.
• Never, for any reason, touch the blade or other moving parts during use.
• Do not turn the motor switch on and off rapidly. This could cause the blade
to loosen, which could create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear
and allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop. Disconnect the saw
from the power source and securely tighten the blade bolt.
• Always turn off the saw before disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting
when reconnecting the saw to a power supply. Never leave the saw
unattended while connected to a power supply.
• Keep the motor air slots clean and free of chips or dust. To avoid motor
damage, the motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep
sawdust from interfering with the motor ventilation.
• Never lift this tool by gripping the cutting handle or the miter fence. This may
cause misalignment. Always carry saw by holding the base or carry by the
carrying handle after you have locked the saw arm in the DOWN position.
_, WARNING: use of this product can generate dust containing chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
