●
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
●
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Service
●
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER SAWS
● Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with
abrasive cut-o wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc.
Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive
cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
● Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece
by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 6-11/32 in. (161.1 mm) from either
side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be
securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there
is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
● The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and
the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
● Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To
make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start
the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting
on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently
throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
● Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the
saw blade. Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of
the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
● Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 6-11/32 in. (161.1 mm) from
either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the
blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious
and you may be seriously injured.
● Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it
with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no
gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped
workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting.
There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
