SUPPLEMENTAL SAFETY RULES FOR
MITER SAWS
WARNING: Do not insert the battery into the unit
until complete instructions are read and understood.
• NEVER PLACE HANDS CLOSER THAN 4" (100 mm)
FROM THE BLADE.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions. A
machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.
• OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or
another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar
with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
• FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.
Protect electric supply line with at least a 15 ampere time-
delay fuse or a circuit breaker.
• MAKE CERTAIN THE BLADE ROTATES IN THE
CORRECT DIRECTION. The teeth on the blade should
point in the direction of rotation as marked on the saw.
• TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES, knobs and levers
prior to operation. Loose clamps can cause parts or the
workpiece to be thrown at high speeds.
• BE SURE ALL BLADE AND BLADE CLAMPS ARE CLEAN,
recessed sides of blade clamps are against blade and
arbor screw is tightened securely. Loose or improper blade
clamping may result in damage to the saw and possible
personal injury.
• DO NOT OPERATE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE
DESIGNATED VOLTAGE for the saw. Overheating,
damage to the tool and personal injury may occur.
• DO NOT WEDGE ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN to hold
the motor shaft. Damage to tool and possible personal
injury may occur.
• NEVER CUT METALS or masonry. Either of these can
cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade at high speeds
causing serious injury.
• NEVER have any part of your body in line with the path of
the saw blade. Personal injury will occur.
• NEVER apply blade lubricant to a running blade. Applying
lubricant could cause your hand to move into the blade
resulting in serious injury.
• DO NOT place either hand in the blade area when the
saw is connected to the battery pack. Inadvertent blade
activation may result in serious injury.
• NEVER REACH AROUND or behind the saw blade. A
blade can cause serious injury.
cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in
the workpiece.
h ) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of
all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the
workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or
other objects that contact the revolving blade can be
thrown with highspeed.
i ) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
j ) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on
a level, firm work surface before use. A level and
firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw
becomingunstable.
k ) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece
and will not interfere with the blade or the
guarding system. Without turning the tool ON and
with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade
through a complete simulated cut to assure there will
be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
l ) Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that
is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre saw table can
tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown
by the spinning blade.
m ) Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support. Unstable
support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind
or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation
pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
n ) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed
by any means against the spinning saw blade.
If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off
piece could get wedged against the blade and
thrownviolently.
o ) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods or
tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut,
causing the blade to bite and pull the work with your
hand into the blade.
p ) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting
the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
q ) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to
stop and disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack. Then
work to free the jammed material. Continued
sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of
control or damage to the mitre saw.
r ) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold
the saw head down and wait for the blade to
stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching
with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
s ) Hold the handle firmly when making an
incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the down
position. The braking action of the saw may cause
the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
