_, WARNING: Your saw should never be connected to the power source when
you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing blades,
cleaning, or when it is not in use. Disconnecting the saw will prevent accidental
starting, which could cause serious personal injury.
1. Open the carton and remove the saw by lifting it with its carrying handle.
_, IMPORTANT: Do not lift the miter saw by the cutting handle, as this will
cause misalignment of the saw arm to the saw base.
