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 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 vise to help hold the work when it is practical.
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
6-3/4 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. Moulding, 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, causing the blade to “bite.”
WARNING:
To avoid injury, follow all applicable safety instructions when cutting non-ferrous
metals:
● Use only saw blades specifically recommended for non-ferrous metal cutting.
● Do not cut metal workpieces that must be hand held. Clamp workpieces securely.
● Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are under the supervision of an experienced person.
WHEN SAW IS RUNNING
Do not allow familiarity from frequent use of your miter saw to result in a careless mistake.
A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause severe injury.
Before cutting, if the saw makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the saw OFF.
Unplug the saw. Do not restart until you find and correct the problem.
