ENGLISH
• Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.
• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and there is no
excessive play in any parts.
Keep Your Work Area Clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
WARNING: To avoid burns or other fire damage,
never use the miter saw near flammable liquids,
vapors, or gases.
• Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears.
• Know your miter saw. Read and understand this
Instruction Manual and labels affixed to this tool. Learn
its application and limitations as well as the specific
potential hazards peculiar to this tool. To avoid injury
from accidental contact with moving parts, do not do
layout, assembly, or setup work on the miter saw while
any parts are moving.
• Avoid accidental starting, make sure the trigger switch
is disengaged before plugging the miter saw into a
power outlet.
Plan Your Work
• Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to
do a job it was not designed to do. Use a different tool
for any workpiece that can’t be held in a solidly braced,
fixed position.
CAUTION: This machine is not designed for
cutting masonry, masonry products, ferrous
metals (steel, iron, and iron-based metals.)
Use this miter saw to cut only wood, wood-like
products, or non-ferrous metals. Other material
may shatter, bind the blade, or create other
dangers. Do not use this saw to cut tree limbs
or logs. Remove all nails that may be in the
workpiece to prevent sparking that could cause a
fire. Remove dust bag when cutting non-ferrous
metals.
Dress For Safety
Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant
lenses and are not safety glasses. Glasses or goggles not
in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you
when they break.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, watches). They can get caught and draw you
into moving parts.
• Wear non-slip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs when using any miter saw.
• Always wear a face mask or dust mask along with safety
goggles.
Inspect Your Workpiece
• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece being cut.
• Plan your work to avoid small pieces that may bind or
are too small to clamp and hold securely.
• Plan the way you will grasp the workpiece from start to
finish. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions. A
sudden slip could cause your fingers or hand to move
into the blade.
Do Not Over-Reach
Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face and body
to one side, out of the line of a possible kickback. NEVER
stand in the line of the blade.
Never cut freehand:
• Brace your workpiece firmly against the fence and table
stop so it will not rock or twist during the cut.
• Make sure there is no debris between the workpiece
and the table or fence.
• Make sure there are no gaps between the workpiece,
fence and table that will let the workpiece shift after
it is cut.
• Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after it
is cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged against the
blade and thrown violently.
• Only the workpiece should be on the saw table.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to help hold the
work.
Use Extra Caution With Large Or Odd
Shaped Workpieces
• Use extra supports (tables, sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for
workpieces large enough to tip.
• Never use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as an additional support for a workpiece
that is longer or wider than the basic miter saw table, or
to help feed, support, or pull the workpiece.
• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece
being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be
within 7-5/16 in. of the saw blade the workpiece is too
small. Keep hands and fingers out of the “no-hands
zone” area marked on the saw table.
• When cutting odd shaped workpieces, plan your work
so it will not bind in the blade and cause possible
injury. Molding, for example, must lie flat or be held by
a fixture or jig that will not let it move when cut.
• Properly support round material such as dowel rods, or
tubing, which have a tendency to roll when cut.
