Ɣ 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 high speed.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter 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.

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 spinning blade.

Ɣ 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.

Ɣ The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning

saw blade.,IFRQ¿QHGLHXVLQJOHQJWKVWRSVWKHFXWRIISLHFHFRXOGJHWZHGJHGDJDLQVWWKH

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.

Ɣ Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of

the workpiece being thrown.

Ɣ 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 miter saw.

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.
