OPERATION
You may use this tool for the following purposes:
• Bevel cutting and compound cutting for crown moldings, etc.
• Cross cutting wood
• Cross cutting for moldings, door casings, picture frames, etc.
NOTE: This saw is for cutting wood. The blade provided is acceptable for wood cutting only.
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient enough to inflict serious personal injury.
• Always wear eye protection with side shields and marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious personal injury.
• Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of
attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.
• Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the compound mitre saw to a workbench. Never operate the
mitre saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
• To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the mitre lock handle and bevel lock knob securely before making a
cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the control arm or mitre table while making a cut.
• To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands outside the no hands zone, at least 3 in. from blade. Never perform any
cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it
slips or twists.
• When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure the workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of the blade only. The
workpiece must remain free on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The workpiece
binding the blade will cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting in serious
personal injury.
• NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to any cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is
rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade causing serious personal injury.
•
When cutting, do not force the blade against the workpiece. Forcing the blade will cause a drop in motor RPM and
increase the risk of overheating the saw blade tips.
