BODY AND HAND POSITION (FIG. 23)
Never place hands near the cutting area. Proper
positioning of your body and hands when operating
the miter saw will make cutting easier and safer. Keep
children away. Keep all visitors at a safe distance from
the miter saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of the
saw and workpiece. Do not force the saw. It will do the
job better and safer at its designed rate.
Operator and all by-standers must wear proper
safety goggles that comply with OSHA/ANSI
requirements Z87.1
Starting a cut:
● Place hands at least 6-3/4 in. away from the path
of the blade – out of the “no-hands zone.”

● With the power switch OFF, bring the saw blade
down to the workpiece to see the cutting path of
the blade.
● Squeeze trigger switch to start saw.
● Lower blade into workpiece with a firm downward
motion.
Finishing a cut:
● Hold the cutting arm in the down position.
● Release trigger switch and wait for all moving
parts to stop before moving your hands and
raising the cutting arm.
● If the blade doesn’t stop within 10 seconds,
unplug the saw and follow the instructions in
TROUBLESHOOTING.

● Release trigger switch.
● Wait for all moving parts to stop.
