• DO NOT REACH UNDERNEATH THE SAW unless it is unplugged and turned off. Contact
with saw blade may cause personalinjury.
• SECURE THE MACHINE TO A STABLE SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can possibly cause
the machine to slide, walk, or tip over, causing seriousinjury.
• USE ONLY CROSSCUT SAW BLADES recommended for miter saws. For best results, do not
use carbide tipped blades with hook angles in excess of 7degrees. Do not use blades with deep
gullets. These can deflect and contact the guard, and can cause damage to the machine and/
or seriousinjury.
• USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND TYPE specified for this tool to prevent
damage to the machine and/or seriousinjury.
• INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS or other damage prior to operation. A cracked or damaged
blade can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing serious injury.
Replace cracked or damaged bladesimmediately.
• CLEAN THE BLADE AND BLADE CLAMPS prior to operation. Cleaning the blade and blade
clamps allows you to check for any damage to the blade or blade clamps. A cracked or
damaged blade or blade clamp can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds,
causing seriousinjury.
• DO NOT USE WARPED BLADES. Check to see if the blade runs true and is free from vibration.
A vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or seriousinjury.
• DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic
guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certainchemicals.
• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in workingorder.
• ALWAYS USE THE KERF PLATE AND REPLACE THIS PLATE WHEN DAMAGED. Small
chip accumulation under the saw may interfere with the saw blade or may cause instability of
workpiece whencutting.
• USE ONLY BLADE CLAMPS SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL to prevent damage to the machine
and/or seriousinjury.
• CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and sawdust. Clogged motor air slots can cause the
machine to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short which could cause
seriousinjury.
• NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION. Severe personal injury mayresult.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionallycontacted.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until
it comes to a completestop.
• DO NOT USE ABRASIVE WHEELS OR BLADES. The excessive heat and abrasive particles
generated by them may damage the saw and cause personalinjury.
• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power tools (i.e.,
a safety video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300Sumner Avenue, Cleveland,
OH 44115‑2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also available from the
National Safety Council, 1121Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143‑3201. Please refer to the
American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking
Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213Regulations.
WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and other materials may cause melted
material to accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the
risk of blade overheating and binding whilecutting.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicalsare:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically‑treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face andbody.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearingloss.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in movingparts.
the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be
obvious and you may be seriouslyinjured.
g ) 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
theworkpiece.
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 duringcutting.
j ) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before
use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becomingunstable.
k ) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle setting, make
sure the fence 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
thefence.
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 miter 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 spinningblade.
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 spinningblade.
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 theblade.
p ) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the
risk of the workpiece beingthrown.
q ) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter 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 mitersaw.
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 isdangerous.
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
ofinjury.
Additional Safety Rules for Miter Saws
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to replace
safety rules. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severeinjury.
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury
couldresult.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according
to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause seriousinjury.
• OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not
thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge issafety..
• MAKE CERTAIN the blade rotates in the correct direction. The teeth on the blade should point
in the direction of rotation as marked on thesaw.
• TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES, knobs and levers prior to operation. Loose clamps can
cause parts or the workpiece to be thrown at highspeeds.
• 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 personalinjury.
• DO NOT OPERATE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED VOLTAGE for the
saw. Overheating, damage to the tool and personal injury mayoccur.
• DO NOT WEDGE ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN to hold the motor shaft. Damage to tool
and possible personal injury mayoccur.
• NEVER CUT FERROUS METALS or masonry. Either of these can cause the carbide tips to fly
off the blade at high speeds causing seriousinjury.
• NEVER PLACE HANDS CLOSER THAN 4" (100 mm) FROM THEBLADE.
• NEVER HAVE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY IN LINE WITH THE PATH OF THE SAW
BLADE. Personal injury willoccur.
• NEVER APPLY BLADE LUBRICANT TO A RUNNING BLADE. Applying lubricant could
cause your hand to move into the blade resulting in seriousinjury.
• DO NOT place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power source.
Inadvertent blade activation may result in seriousinjury.
• NEVER REACH AROUND OR BEHIND THE SAW BLADE. A blade can cause seriousinjury.
