● DISCONNECT the saw from the power source and clean the machine when finished using.
● SHOULD any part of your miter saw become missing, damaged, fail in any way or any electrical
component fail to perform properly, shut off the switch and remove the plug from the power supply
outlet. Replace missing, damaged or failed parts before resuming operation.
● Because of the downward cutting motion, your safety requires that you stay very alert to keeping
hands and fingers away from the path that the blade travels.
● Be sure all guards are in place and working. If a guard seems slow to return to its normal position
or “hangs up,” adjust or repair it immediately. Be alert at all times - especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into carelessness due to a false sense of security. Blades
are extremely unforgiving. Clean the lower guard frequently to help visibility and movement.
Unplug before adjustment or cleaning.
● Abrasive cut-off wheels should not be used on miter saws. Miter saw guards are not appropriate
for abrasive cut-off wheels.
● To avoid loss of control or placing hands in the path of the blade, hold or clamp all material
securely against the fence when cutting. Do not perform operations freehand.
● Support long material at the same height as the saw table.
● Never place your hands or fingers in the path of the blade, or reach in back of the fence. It’s
hazardous to do so. Do not cross arms or hands in front of blade to secure workpiece. Use clamps
if necessary. Saw blades coast after being turned off. To avoid contact with a coasting blade, do not
reach into cutting areas until the blade comes to a full stop.
● After completing a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop,
then raise the saw blade from the workpiece.
● Miter saws have spring loaded saw heads to return the saw head to its up position. Adjust, repair,
or replace the spring mechanism if the saw head does not automatically return to its up position
when released.
● Hold or clamp the work firmly against the fence on the sawed end.
● Lock the miter saw and blades in the down position during transport or when not in use.
● DRY RUN - It is important to know where the blade will intersect with the workpiece during cutting
operations.
● Always perform the simulated cutting sequence with the power tool switched OFF to gain an
understanding of the projected path of the saw blade.
WARNING: Additional warnings are listed throughout this manual. Please review all
before operating this power tool.
