WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Do not leave tools or wood scraps
on the saw while it is in operation. Cluttered workbenches and dark areas
invite accidents
• Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders and visitors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Make your workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches. Lock
tools away when they are not in use.
• Make sure the work area has ample lighting so you can see the work, and
that there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Know your power tool. Read this operator's manual carefully. Learn the
compound miter saw's applications and limitations, as well as the specific,
potential hazards related to this tool.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool.
• Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing
or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving
parts and should also be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting of tools. Be sure switch is in "OFF "position
before plugging the tool into a power source.
• Remove adjusting keys or blade wrenches before turning the tool "ON."
A wrench that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
• De not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Always secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work whenever
practical. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate
the tool.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
blade is accidentally contacted.
