SAFETY RULES FOR MITER SAWS
• Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn the
applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious injury.
• Always firmly clamp or bolt your miter saw to a secure, stable workbench or
table at approximately hip height.
• Be sure that all adjustments are secure before making a cut.
• Always make sure that the miter table and saw arm are locked in position
before operating your saw. Lock the miter table by securely tightening the
miter-lock knob. Lock the saw arm by securely tightening the bevel-lock knob.
• Use the hold-down clamp (included) to secure the workpiece
whenever possible.
• Be sure that the blade path is free of nails. Always carefully inspect lumber
and remove all nails before cutting.
• Always be sure that the blade clears the workpiece.
• Never start the saw with the blade touching the workpiece.
• Always allow the motor to come up to full speed before starting a cut.
• Support long workpieces when cutting to minimize the risk of the blade pinching
or kickback. The saw may slip, walk, or slide while cutting long or heavy boards.
• Never use a length-stop on the free end of a clamped workpiece.
• Never hold onto or bind the free end of the workpiece in any operation.
• If a work clamp and a length stop are used together, they must both be
installed on the same side of the saw table to prevent the saw from catching
the loose end and kicking up.
• Never cut more than one piece at a time. Do not stack more than one
workpiece on the worktable at a time.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the blade. Always make sure that you have
good balance. Never position your saw on the floor or operate it while in a
crouched position.
• Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the blade.
• Only use the correct blades. Use the right blade size, style, and cutting
speed for the material being cut and the type of cut. De not use blades
with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that are
defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity for this saw is 10 inches.
